7K: I'm only familiar w/ classic DW. None of these recent imposters. Pretty sure its not ST. I'd really like to see Stranger. I guess I go w/ GoT

50K: follow same line of reasoning as contestant

100K: No idea. Not Bloomberg; it'd have gotten into mayoral races. Prolly not Buffet. Not in any bios. 50/50. Pick Bezos bkz he's a jerk. I realize this is not a reasonable reason. Probably unicyclists are wonderful peeps who pass on fine genes. Bezos is still a jerk.

250K: Going for Sherrinford for some reason, but +1
