James Rogers
Rochester, NY
Waiter and recent college graduate
James is a typical young man. He likes to kick back and have a good time and hang out with the ladies. Meredith asks which ladies and James names them - Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche and Rose, the "Golden Girls". He dates younger, though. Meredith asks if James is ready to play, saying that she's slightly younger than the Golden Girls.
$100 - On earth, a solar eclipse occurs when the light of the sun is obscured by what?

D - Shaq
$200 - Measuring around your hand at its widest point, excluding the thumb, is the best way to determine your what?
A - hat size
B - pants size
C - glove size
D - shoe size
James shakes his head, looking confused. Meredith repeats the question. James says he feels really stupid and "wastes" (his word) a lifeline by asking the audience.
ATA results:
A - 4%
B - 3%
C - 86%
D - 7%
James says it's a referendum and goes with the audience's answer.
$300 - A cocktail fork is often used to extract meat from which of these entrees?
A - veal
B - prime rib
C - duck
D - lobster
Meredith says that as a waiter James probably puts these out - turns out James works at a seafood restaurant.
$500 - Fittingly, the Web site www.thesmokinggun.com is affiliated with what cable TV network?
A - ESPN
B - Discovery
C - The Weather Channel
D - Court TV
$1K - In high school, which of these abbreviations commonly refers to a math class and not a science class?
A - biol.
B - chem
C - alg.
D - anat.
$2K - Better known as the musical duo the Carpenters, how were Karen and Richard Carpenter related?
A - brother and sister
B - cousins
C - husband and wife
D - mother and son
$4K - Now used to refer to a non-expert, the word "layman" originally refered to a person who was not a member of what?
A - a royal family
B - the military
C - the clergy
D - academia
$8K - A type of clay pottery, terra cotta takes its name from an Italian phrase meaning what?
A - strong earth
B - baked earth
C - soft earth
D - blessed earth
James spent a semester in Rome and spoke Italian fairly well so he knows the answer.
$16K - Which of these statements best describes Bruce Willis's character throughout most of the original "Die Hard" movie?
A - he wears a hat
B - he is in disguise
C - he wears a tuxedo
D - he is barefoot
James doesn't know the movie. He does know that Willis carries a gun and the movie takes place in a tall building. For some reason he feels that Willis was barefoot. Rather than gamble, James asks for the 50/50, which leaves B and D.
Commercial break
James' friend Shelley is in the audience. Meredith was watching her while James tried to figure out the $16K question. Meredith thought she was dying. Shelley says "He was killing me." Then she started crying - she can't control her emotions and she's proud of James.
$25K - Featuring a trio of mustangs on its commemorative quarter, what U.S. state is home to over 50% of the country's wild horses?
A - Nevada
B - Colorado
C - Nebraska
D - Montana
James would be guessing, so he decides to call Terry (AKA Frenchie). He's a friend of a friend and they used to go to trivia contests at a bar in Rochester. Frenchie says he would guess Montana but he's not sure. James says that Nevada is mostly desert and wonders if there are wild horses in the desert. He doesn't think that's the answer. He sees Nevada as full of trailers and cacti. Meredith jokes that the people of Nevada aren't appreciating this, and James has probably killed the marked for BAM in that state. James has no idea and doesn't even want to guess, so he walks away with $16K.

I wish the choices were worded "sister and brother" and "wife and husband"... but that's just a semantics issue.$2K - Better known as the musical duo the Carpenters, how were Kevin and Richard Carpenter related?
A - brother and sister
B - cousins
C - husband and wife
D - mother and son
$4K: Unfortunately, I would be out on this question. I thought it was academia.

Given this somewhat lackluster start it was a bit of surprise to see him struggle his way up to the 25K Q.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:James Rogers

Movie trivia is still pretty much hit or miss for me. Despite having seen the movie several times I did not recall that he was barefoot. 50/50 made the decision easy but before that I was thinking perhaps it was C.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:

If you didn't know it then it was an easy google so poor PAF play costs another cast member 9K and a shot at more. Big surprise there...BBTranscriptTeam wrote:

Where do I begin? Where's MBFFB when you need him?
I couldn't believe he needed ATA on the $200 question-how did he pass the test?
And ANOTHER commerative quarter question. I knew this one without lifelines. I bet they will eventually get around to asking about all 50 state quarters.
I bet Meredith is getting tired of holding those $1M checks and not giving any away. When's her contract up-this season or next?

Good thing he doesn't watch M*A*S*H - there's an episode in which, to relieve boredom, BJ spreads the word that it's Hawkeye's birthday and tries to organize a surprise party. At one point Father Mulcahy comes into The Swamp and asks Hawkeye to make a fist. He says that the distance around the fist is equal to the length of a person's foot. He measures both, finding that they don't match. Father Mulcahy says, "No wonder you walk funny." Knowing this might have led him to say "D" and llama out.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$200 - Measuring around your hand at its widest point, excluding the thumb, is the best way to determine your what?
