Great job! I see why they moved your appearance date back lol.


(Personal Commentary): I knew the $100K question cold, but probably would have crashed at the $250K question since one of the names in B sounded familiar. I don't know if I would've pulled the trigger, but if I had, I would've went with B and crashed.

That was one of those stories I happened to read in the strange news areas where I get my news (I figure those stories might come up as Millionaire questions) and that they're thinking of using this concept to make cheap X-Rays or X-Ray machines that can fit and be used in an ambulance.

You know something stupid that's been getting to me? In Round One, the stage is purple and the borders are purple. In Round Two, for the $100,000 and $250,000 questions, the stage is blue and the borders are blue. But for some reason, for the $500,000 question, the blue stage has white borders. Why? That's been the case on all the half-million-dollar questions we've seen so far.

First things second. You are very smart and incredibly gutsy. There aren't many players like you playing the game anymore. If there were, we'd have had a third millionaire by now.

Congrats vettech, certainly tied for the big win of the season!!

Q#4- Another shoutout to Tangredi, who must have a hand in these ABBA stacks!

Q#11- Much like the previous contestant, it looked like a decision based on how much $ in the pot. Something like $66,100, I'd run like that AOL man with the $$. Something like $40K after "jump"ing $25K, it becomes worth a gamble.

Q#12-While Confessor has been to numerous Derbies, I've been to the Belmont, whenever possible, when a Triple Crown is a possibility since the 90s. (I only saw near misses) So I immediately recognized Omaha as a TC winner; I'd probably recognize all the TC winners. No other names rang a bell, so the only worry was the slight chance that Spokane was not a winner at all and two of the unknown names won the Derby years ago, which would make it an awfully nasty question.
How about that, a Kentucky Bluegrass early, and a big KY Derby one late.

Q#13- No idea either. That means I must not have a historical marker for this among my IBE game photos. I don't think so.

Excellent job!!! MBFFB would admire your guts in going for those two big questions you weren't 100% sure of....

How cruel of the show to make you sit on that kind of secret for 6 months (and make you wait yet another for the payday!).... I'd say you probably handled that a lot better than I would have!

Congrats on the big win vettech!!!! This is almost as prestigious as your Rookie of the Year win in the LSWE...... :mrgreen:

This was the main issue I was mulling over - just how nasty did the writers want to be? I immediately recognized Omaha and Spokane seemed familiar for some reason, so...

Living in Louisville it's hard to escape the Derby this time of year - and trivia competitions often feature categories or questions about Derby winners, so I've tried to learn as many as I could. Spokane won in 1889 and Omaha won in 1935. As snaxx noted, Omaha went on to win the Triple Crown.

It was so fun!

You are gracious and fun loving and so clearly thrilled with the opportunity and not stoopid!

It was also clear that your husband was behind you, no matter what you did, what you won or how you gambled.

I LOVED it!

Great job vettech of making every BB proud. Well done.

I liked the risk you took on the 100,000. Why not risk 18,000 for 57,000? I would. Good move.

How did you know the Derby answer?

Feedback on this question from somebody named Jens Erik Vaaler on a gaming site:
A contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire was asked the rediculously easy question “In the video game ‘Donkey Kong‘, the hero now known as Mario was originally called what?” This question was worth $100,000! “Lol, wut?”, anyone?

Clearly, Jens, the question was easier for you than spelling "ridiculously". :P

Feedback on this question from somebody named Jens Erik Vaaler on a gaming site:
A contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire was asked the rediculously easy question “In the video game ‘Donkey Kong‘, the hero now known as Mario was originally called what?” This question was worth $100,000! “Lol, wut?”, anyone?

Clearly, Jens, the question was easier for you than spelling "ridiculously". :P

He meant "reediculously"......
