I'm glad I wasn't home to see this-I would have been screaming at the TV.
Gibson guitars used to be made here in Kalamazoo-and just a couple weeks ago, there was a "Fretboard Festival" to celebrate the guitar. EZ question for me-in fact the whole stack was easy.
Next time TPTB have a contest, they should come up with one that actually involves trivia skills!

I thought for sure that Derrick was going to use his fifth lifeline ("Audience Gasps at an Answer") on the $2K question.

OK, I haven't read anyone else's comments yet, but I'm sure there will be a lot of gnashing of teeth about this, because I was doing the same thing. This guy won a contest and gets to sit in the Hot Seat, while we have BBs who have been trying the "right" way for years, unsuccessfully. And on top of that he seems to be totally unqualified (more about this below).
Geez, Meredith, why not just go ahead and give him the answer while you're at it!?BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$500

By this time I was just praying for him to miss a question and be done. This was, IMO, a travesty, even worse than celebrity editions. Again Meredith practically gave him the answer, though he didn't recognize it. I wonder if she had been asked to do this, to make the sponsors happy.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$1000

He said he knew he and one other person in the room wouldn't know.
And he even fails to get the hint from "the fourth lifeline" before going home. But he's gone, no carryover, no big money. Let's hope Sprint/Nextel and BAM think twice before doing something like this again.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$2000

But they didn't! Capcom just had another of these contests (associated with AT&T instead of Sprint, this time) running through April 11. Lucky winner to be selected April 30.earendel wrote:Let's hope Sprint/Nextel and BAM think twice before doing something like this again..

Wow, this guy makes us proud of Bob J.
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.

Alas, no such luck. But one last chance...
So close. Unfortunately now he gets rewarded for this crap. And we get more torture. And I am only reading the transcript. Only positive is that I quit watching the show years ago. Can't imagine why now...$1000

$500: Meredith is already leading the witness, as it were.
2K: Even though contestant is dumber than a rock, he should have known to pay attention to gasps from the audience, signalling someone couldn't keep quiet their amazement at a wrong choice. TPTB should have thrown the question out at that gasp. But didn't. Perhaps thinking that even Mr. Rock couldn't miss such a clue, & that his going on to win some more money would make TPTB look good here.
You now see what happens when someone who not only isn't trivia-smart enough to play plays, you see what happens when someone who doesn't even want to play plays. Come on. I can watch "Jaywalking" any time I want to.
