I don't know nuttin' about no Motley Crue but I know that Tommy Lee is a drummer (he may be a singer, too - Karen Carpenter did it).BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$8000- Which of these movie actors shares two of his names with a famous heavy metal drummer?

That was unusual, I'd agree - V talked his PAF out of the answer.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:(Transcriber note: Throughout this I was thinking when else has a contestant ever 'Dursted' a PaF?)

So he got The Call before getting a Happy Card!The adventure started in summer 2007 when Bavda learned the show would be holding auditions in the Chicago area."It was a Friday and there was a line of people there and we had to take a written test. Then we got a one-minute on-screen interview," Bavda explained. The following Monday, he learned he'd be a contestant for a September taping of the show in New York City.

I don't know what you are asking.summus123 wrote:Why did Meredith keep having to ask "Final?" after every question? Isn't it a prerequisite to know the rules of the game?
I avoided saying final answer until she asked me. It allows you to use the 'audience gasp' to make sure you did not just make a totally stoopid move.
