I've been hitting 'refresh' after my last answer, and it didn't show me your next question - I didn't see it til I wandered over to another thread and came back and saw a 'page two' hmm. good to know.

Good thing you saved those lifelines! You have $16,000!

Get this next question right, you're locked in at $25K and you get the fourth lifeline.

Wow, in my head, those are mostly in a straight line. I have an inkling, but let's ask the audience

I know Knoxville is east of Atlanta, but I think Detroit is slightly more easter... do I get my 50/50, Regis?

Okay, if Nellie isn't going to give me the 50/50, I'll go with the audience, and say D, final.

tlynn, D was already eliminated by the 50:50. You can't choose that one.

What was the delay in the 50-50?

I think her previous "Final Answer" should be ignored.

I completely missed Nellie's 50./50 - oh, well, thanks! It was fun while it lasted.

Mr. Nelly, please give it to her. She would have gotten it.

Miss t, I'm very sorry I voted for the wrong one. I didn't gasp from the audience, though. At most, I panted a little.

On the show, if someone says "D" final answer after it was already elimated, the audience would laugh and Regis would say "There is no D"

So, I get a Mulligan? I can just imagine Regis' face if someone said "Final answer" for a selection not available.

With the audience favorite gone, I would have chosen Detroit. I leave it in the hands of the officials.
