Transcript 04/10/08 - Fiona Morton (carryover contestant)

#1 Post by BBTranscriptTeam » Thu Apr 10, 2008 6:20 pm

Fiona Morton (carryover contestant)
Stamford, CT
Baker



Fiona is a Brit, a baker and an animal noise maker.

Meredith: Last time you were here, you did a chicken, you did a cat, and I understand you can do a monkey.

Fiona: I want more money for the monkey, Meredith.

Meredith: You want more--

Fiona: Yeah. That's a special one!

Meredith: Do you want to play for more money?

Fiona: I do!

Meredith: Then let me hear the monkey.

Fiona does her monkey imitation.




$16,000
Which of the following is not a lyric from Bob Dylan's rock ballad "Like a Rolling Stone"?

A: With no direction home B: To be on your own
C: When you're all alone D: Like a complete unknown

Fiona thinks the answer is C, but she says she can't risk $7,000. She said up in the green room that she wasn't going to risk it.

Fiona. I am going to walk with my eight.

Meredith: Is that a final?

Fiona: Oh, God!

Fiona agonizes a few more seconds.

Fiona: Oh, bugger! C, final answer.

Fiona says it was really stupid to change her game plan and take that gamble, but "the blonde took over."



$25,000
Which of these cloud types does the National Weather Service describe on its Web site as "hairlike"?

A: Cumulus B: Nimbostratus
C: Stratocumulus D: Cirrus

Fiona has an idea again--she thinks it's cirrus--but she's definitely not going to do that again.

Fiona walks with $16,000.




Answers:
$16,000: C: When you're all alone
$25,000: D: Cirrus

Looks like I was wrong about her being one and done®. She was two and done.

I would've been in great shape once again, $25K banked and all four lifelines available.

But she didn't! She walked away.

Is anyone familiar with British television standards? Did Fiona get away with uttering a curse words that they would have bleeped on the British version of the show? :twisted:



The $16K question would have been another Lyrically Speaking nightmare for me. Asking for just about the entire set of lyrics to the song? I'd have reached for the ATA in a heartbeat!

I'm not British, of course. Our Christie is probably the best one to answer this. But I did find this:

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

There's a line very similar to the correct response - "to be on your own" - which may be why Fiona was reluctant to pull the trigger. Good for her for making the attempt.

Too bad she didn't go for it again, but I can sympathize with her.

I've heard cirrus clouds called "mare's tail", so it makes the most sense. Also "cirrus" is a name for a clump of hair cells.

So I'd be going for $50K with all my lifelines available.
