Rob is a Navy veteran who served on a submarine. He says this helped him prepare for being on the show - the submarine had a great library and he read a lot of books, including an encyclopedia. Rob has $20,000 in the bank and his +1 lifeline (he says he saved the best for last).

$30,000: Which of the following is neither the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster, nor a Hebrew month, nor a Latin-based name for an official decree?
A - Subaru
B - Acura
C - Nissan
D - Fiat

Rob immediately identifies each answer -

Spoiler

Fiat is a decree, Nissan is a Hebrew month and Subaru is the name for the Pleiades because that's in their logo

Answer: B (Acura)

$50,000: Spoken by Tony just before the screen fades to black, what is the last line of dialogue in "The Sopranos"?
A - "I went ahead and ordered some for the table."
B - "It's Carlo. He's gonna testify."
C - "Well, it's time, I guess."
D - "Hey!"

Rob says he never got past season one. He calls down his +1 lifeline, Erica. She says she wasn't a fan either and thought he didn't make it. Rob says he knows that they didn't show what happened. He decides to walk away.

Answer: B (Acura)

Allow me to pick a nit here. "Nissan" is a car company, while "Nisan" is the Hebrew month. Technically there are two answers to this question.

Answer: A ("I went ahead and ordered some for the table.")

Never saw a single episode of this show. From the comfort of my recliner I guessed correctly but on the show I would have used my ATA.
