Angel says being on the show is nothing like watching it on TV. She calls her grandfather John "Pops". His reaction when she told him she was going to be on the show was, "Don't you have to be smart to be on that show?"

Re-opened after a nearly 2,000-year hiatus, Pompeii's thermopolium sells what?

Angel says it seems that the answer should be easy. "Pompeii, volcano, volcanic ash,

She can hear her husband's voice saying, "Go home, go home" (the camera cuts to Anthony who has a pained look on his face and he's nodding). Anything Angel leaves with is more than she came with and she's been saying that since the beginning.

Angel's 91-year old grandfather sells newspapers at the train station and has told everyone about her appearance on the show. He helped raise Angel and if she wins some money she'd like do something nice for him. Her husband Anthony is in the relationship seat; he just heard that he got a new job in Florida so they need money for a house.

Angel says being on the show is nothing like watching it on TV. She calls her grandfather John "Pops". His reaction when she told him she was going to be on the show was, "Don't you have to be smart to be on that show?"

She's done really well up to this point so I'd say she was "smart".

Question #6 (Gotta Be the Shoes - Level 10)
For a whopping $5,000, what tennis great became the first athlete to sign an endorsement contract with Nike?
A - Jimmy Connors
B - Ilie Nastase
C - Bjorn Borg
D - John McEnroe

Answer: B (Ilie Nastase)

I think the audience went with the two American names among the four choices. I'd have thought it was either Connors or Nastase because their careers were earlier. But I wouldn't have expected it to be "Nasty" Nastase. I'd like to think I'd have used a JTQ on this rather than blurt out the wrong answer.

Question #7 (Renaissance Woman - Level 9)
"Actress/singer/director/writer/composer/producer/designer/author/photographer/activist" is the bio opener on whose official webpage?
A - Barbra Streisand
B - Bette Midler
C - Diana Ross
D - Madonna

Madonna

but she's not confident enough so she jumps the question.

Answer: A (Barbra Streisand)

Streisand is the only one who fits all of these categories and has an ego big enough to brag about them.

Question #9 (Back to Business - Level

Well, "thermo" means "heat", which would eliminate B and D, so it's all a matter of what "poliuim" means. My Latin isn't nearly as good as my Greek and nothing comes to mind. I'll have to JTQ.

Question #6 (Gotta Be the Shoes - Level 10)

I forgot to mention that Mere put "the curse" on Angel - as they resumed game play Meredith noted that Angel hadn't used any lifelines yet. Once Mere says that, it's a safe bet that the contestant will be using a lifeline on the next question.
