$2k-I was waiting for "cherry" to come up. ATA here.

$16K. I'm a Neil Diamond fan, so I knew this one cold. I was screaming "D" at my TV. I guess neither of them like Neil Diamond.
I'm just a game show nerd.

$4K: I can easily eliminate A (Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage) and B (Jamie Oliver). Gotta go to the audience here.

$16K: No clue. Try the PAF... but not Arnold's PAF.

Arnold goes with his brother. He is a policeman, so he should know.

Curses! Dursted again!®

A break in the stream of young whippersnappers - how refreshing.

Why not "the five 'great' what?"

I know it's not A or B and pretty sure it's not D, so I'd go with C.

A basic geography question gussied up to look tougher than it is. All you have to know is that the Galapagos Islands arein the Pacific.

This is fairly tough, although given enough time and familiarity with the songs, the only one that makes sense is D (in terms of how it scans). It's a shame his brother dursted him.

Not a great stack for me.

Good thing it doesn't matter.

ATA? Really? He needs a lifeline for this???

Geo nit wit-ism strikes again. Not terribly upset to see him get dursted after this. Seems only fitting.

Of course were I ever to get on a show I would get knocked out by a geography question.

It would no doubt also be fitting. But it would have to be harder than this one!
