Transcript 11/29/07 - Anne Hathorn (Carry-over contestant)

#1 Post by BBTranscriptTeam » Thu Nov 29, 2007 8:46 pm

Anne Hathorn
Clearwater, FL
Attorney



Anne is a game show veteran who won $48,000 on Jeopardy! Anne is more nervous now; it's different than playing against other people.

Anne's husband, Andy, is in the audience with roses for her.



$4,000
According to legend, the ghosts of Anne Boleyn, Lady Jane Grey and Sir Walter Raleigh all haunt what London landmark?

A: Globe Theater B: Big Ben
C: Buckingham Palace D: Tower of London


$8,000
In business, the term "closed shop" refers to a employer that refuses to hire employees until they do what?

A: Earn a college degree B: Join a union
C: Pass a drug test D: Sign a confidentiality agreement


$16,000
Rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube starred in both the 2005 comedy "Are We There Yet?" and what 2007 sequel?

A: Are They Gone Yet? B: Are You Ready Yet?
C: Are We Done Yet? D: Are You Happy Yet?

Anne hasn't seen this.

50/50 leaves B & C

They both sound good to Anne.

PAF: Anne calls Fred, her father-in-law. Fred starts repeating part of the question before she finishes reading it, then repeats the choices.

Fred: And this was Rapper Ice Cube--

Anne: Ten seconds, Fred.

Fred: Sequel to what?

Anne: Are We There Yet? Ten seconds--five seconds!

Fred: Are We There Yet? Um, give me the answers again.

Anne: Something! Something!

Fred: A!

Anne thinks he meant the first choice she gave him. She goes with Are You Ready Yet?, final answer.

Anne drops to $1,000.




Answers:
$4,000: D: Tower of London
$8,000: B: Join a union
$16,000: C: Are We Done Yet?

Are We Done Yet? is actually credited as a remake of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.

Somehow, I don't picture Cary Grant and Ice Cube in the same role.....

Plus on this show it's one wrong answer and you're out.

And nice roses they were, too.

I haven't seen either one of the movies, but knew the answer.

I don't get the choices for PAFs lately. Shouldn't you line up 5 different people with varying knowledge bases (or really fast Googlers). At least someone with knowledge of movies could have helped here.

We know that, but not everyone thinks of it, or has available such a large pool of experts in so many areas as we do. I suspect the history of PAF's would reveal a plurality, at least, of family members, closely followed by present or former co-workers.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

FWIW my PAF group were all friends but I deliberately selected them for their areas of expertise (and my lack thereof) - sports, literature, art - plus two for general trivia that might stump me. That was in the day before Googling became the norm, and long before Bored PAFs were in vogue.
