100K: Hair samples require chemical analysis. That early on it would have been pretty simple chemistry. Recording industry in its infancy too. Like contestant I thought "weight isn't static". Its a free Q; go for body parts.

250K: Have 50/50 left. I was going for Isaiah but unlike contestant would never had risked money here.

500K: Would never have seen Q but my choice would have been full-sized phone booth.

Raj is the kind of great contestant we'd see more of if they went more for trivia experts instead of perky-perky. And he wasn't hard to look at either, which I'm sure did figure into their choice.

More power to him.

I would still have my 50:50 and +1 and would use them in that order.

Thanks to an episode of "Pawn Stars", I knew that Warhol had sort of a "shoe movement". Not sure if I could pull the trigger that he didn't do the others as well, but I'd definitely consider it.
