Just goes to show you how well informed the American public is about politics. 28% of the people and one former history teacher didn't know one of the two leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Melissa Feilke

In all fairness - do we know when this was filmed? It could have been well before campaigning started.silverscreenselect wrote:Just goes to show you how well informed the American public is about politics. 28% of the people and one former history teacher didn't know one of the two leading candidates for the Republican presidential nomination.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Melissa Feilke

I thought she might go for it - after the audience responses were shown she said it was the one she thought.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:4K - Which of these 2008 Presidential hopefuls is a Republican?

Back on Oklahoma I knew a girl in high school whose parents had a kinkajou for a pet. When upset it made the most awful sound, almost like a woman screaming.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:16K - Also known as a honey bear, the kinkajou belongs to the same family as what other animal?

Nihil obstat® for me.

It was probably taped sometime in September--and certainly by early November--so that was before the campaign had reached the saturation level it has now.peacock2121 wrote:In all fairness - do we know when this was filmed?

Of course, Melissa started by saying she was pretty sure of this answer before she burned her ATA to confirm that.

Another fairly straight forward stack that would have gotten me to 25K with all lifelines intact. Unusual as there is usually at least one that I have trouble with at the 8K - 25K level. I suppose this one was supposed to be one of the tough ones.
Don't know a ton about kinkajou's although I was relatively sure the answer was A from the start. Common but rarely seen in Central America I looked for them in Costa Rica but saw only another cousin, the coati's. But a brief pondering confirms it as I know they are not marsupials which knocks out D and since the skunk and badger are from the same family (weasels) it pretty much leaves A as the only option.
Obviously doesn't watch a lot of Animal Planet...
25K takes out the Geo nit wits (which I find only fitting) but was one I knew without the answers.
