A WE®-centric question... what a surprise.

$16K: No clue. Not sure if the audience would know this, so I better PAF.

$25K: Crap. This is the one I should have used the PAF on. Try the audience and see if they have a clue on any of the choices. More than likely, the 50:50 will be gone as well. I have NFC® on this question at all. I can't even venture a guess. I'll probably walk with the 16 unless the audience was stacked with rocket scientists.

I'm guessing he's a WE® and "nightclub owner" puts him in the second WE® category.

Time to ATA - I've never heard the term "teacup" applied to dogs.

Other than that, I'd be fine, going for $50K with 50/50, PAF and STQ still in play.

Yes, Bayport is about halfway out on Long Island. Where Else? I agree that his profession is enough in the entertainment business to give him the What Else, too.

And while I know the APs like loud, excitable contestants, I found him really, really annoying. :|

It should also be noted that Eugene was one of those contestants who just got The Call the evening before he taped.
