$25K: Never seen these movies. Ask the audience. (And judging by the audience's response afterward, they probably would've gotten this right.)

If there was ever a question that should have been rephrased for a PAF, this was it. All of that about the Bushes was irrelevant and it was safely implied by the choices that John Adams was #2.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: $16000

"John Quincy Adams was what numbered president?"
NAC about High School Musical, so it's time to ATA. I suppose if one wanted to gamble on how the question writers think, Albuquerque was too odd a choice to be anything but the right one.

A waste of a lifeline. She knew the answer, but even if she hadn't, by saying that she had taken a lot of Shakespeare courses she would have prejudiced the audience.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$8000

J. Adams was 2 (as the PAF knew). Jefferson was 3, Madison was 4, Monroe was 5 and Jackson was 7, leaving JQ Adams as #6.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$16000

elwing has seen both of these and knew it immediately. As for me, I'd have used ATA to see how strong the audience response was. The only one I could eliminate would be Tulsa.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$25000

So, is Albuquerque the "MAWG" location because it was too boring to even portray itself, or is it Utah for the fact that the filmamkers did not want to set their story there?

Re: Transcript 4/16/2008 Paula Alexander
Utah is actually a popular filming area. My nephew co-starred (in a very broad interpretation of that term) with Katherine Heigl in her first movie, "Wish Upon A Star". Disney thing, and filmed at a school near his home. I wonder if it was the same one. The school principal also had a bit part.MarleysGh0st wrote:I think Utah would be considered too uncool for a movie of this sort, in the minds of Hollywood PTBs.Appa23 wrote:Filmed at East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah (as well as other Utah locations).BBTranscriptTeam wrote:Transcript April 16,2008

Kind of like all those dry Californian hills pretending to be the flat Kansas prairie in Jericho, but in reverse!
