on today's show
which I hope will get posted, the contestant read something in host's demeanor that threw them off wrong answer. Since they'd already used 50/50, they got right answer. Good for them.

Re: on today's show
I just did yesterday's show, but here is today's one:
Alex Fumelli
Staten Island, NY
$50K
If someone wears a diamond to represent both their birthstone and their state gem, they would be a what?
A: Floridian born in February
B: Arkansan born in April
C: Marylander born in May
D: Alaskan born in August
50/50
B: Arkansan born in April
D: Alaskan born in August
First would go with D and when asked if he would make it final, he stopped, thought and then correctly went with B.

Re: on today's show
In the old days, Regis did not know the answer until it lit up on the screen after the contestant said "Final". I don't know how correct answers are transmitted to Chris Harrison now. There's always the possibility that Chris just knew this answer anyway.ghostjmf wrote:which I hope will get posted, the contestant read something in host's demeanor that threw them off wrong answer.

Something caused the contestant to change very abruptly. Maybe Chris has a "tell" when he asks "is that your final answer"?

Re: on today's show
In a recent interview, Chris says he's not told the answer in advance. So trying to "read" Chris is at your own risk.bazodee wrote:In the old days, Regis did not know the answer until it lit up on the screen after the contestant said "Final".

Re: on today's show
When I edit and put up the videos from today's and tomorrow's shows I'll also post the video for this question.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: on today's show
I would have known. Wife's BD is in April and mine in August. So I knew the birthstones for for both. Also, though I haven't been, I know friends who have "dug for diamonds" in Arkansas. We thought about it a few years ago when there on vacation, but it was hot and that is a very dirty activity. So we went to downtown Hot Springs instead.

Re: on today's show
One other clue is the diamond featured on the Arkansas commemorative quarter.

Re: on today's show
My birth month is April & the commemorative quarter for Arkansas had I believe a big diamond on it, so I knew the answer here. And I didn't see what host's "tell" may have been, but he had to have had one. You have to assume he knows * some* answers. I didn't hear anything from audience, but I'm not ruling that out.
But contestant was so strong for wrong answer at 1st; *something* made him switch. Host asked if he meant it & he did, but didn't explain.

Re: on today's show
I stayed overnight in Murfreesboro in 1977 and visited the park. I've had the question, "What is the only state where there's a diamond mine?"

Re: on today's show
Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas is a pretty busy place. It's pretty ugly as far as state parks go. There's lots of dirt and hordes of people with trowels and buckets digging holes. It's an interesting place sociologically; there are definitely people there who really think/intend to strike it rich.BackInTex wrote:I would have known. Wife's BD is in April and mine in August.

How timely.....Teen finds 7.44-carat diamond at Crater of Diamonds
The article doesn't give an estimated value. Seems like a logical question by everyone who reads the article.

MURFREESBORO, Ark. – While in southern Arkansas for a baseball tournament, 14-year-old Kalel Langford, of Centerton, Arkansas, fulfilled a longtime dream of visiting Arkansas’s Crater of Diamonds State Park.
Kalel and his parents arrived at Arkansas’s diamond site on the afternoon of Saturday, March 11. By the end of the day, he had registered the 7th-largest diamond found at the Arkansas State Park since 1972.
