Episode 107
January 4

Last month, The Million Dollar Money Drop became the most talked about new show of the season. The airwaves and the Internet were on fire as couples were given $1,000,000 in cash. But to keep it, they had to face a gauntlet of seven questions and stop...the drop. Nerves were shattered as relationships were put to the test. In the end, there were tears and then there were triumph.

The drop is back and taking their places on the platform tonight are Frank and Melissa Cook, a married couple from Boston. Frank and Melissa had a business for 12 years until they sold, putting them back in school. Now, they're playing to earn enough money to cover their tuition costs.

QUESTION 1 CATEGORIES: THEME PARKS/EATING OUT

They start their game with Eating Out.

Q1: According to the NPD Group Market Research Company, what is the most popular restaurant meal in the U.S.?
A: Fried Chicken and Biscuits
B: Soup and Salad
C: Burger and Fries
D: Fish and Chips

Frank and Melissa put all of the money on C, and they're correct!

QUESTION 2 CATEGORIES: DANCE CRAZES/STAR WARS

Their next category, Star Wars. And let's hope the force is with them.

Q2: Which of these Star Wars films premiere in films most recently?
A: Attack of the Clones
B: Return of the Jedi
C: The Phantom Menace
D: The Empire Strikes Back

They split the million and put half on A and the other half on C. C is wrong, but A is right as Frank and Melissa save half a million.

QUESTION 3 CATEGORIES: COINS/PATRIOTIC SONGS

Q3: Which song includes the lyrics "from sea to shining sea"?
A: America, My Country 'Tis of Thee
B: The Star-Spangled Banner
C: The Battle Hymn of the Republic
D: America the Beautiful

140K was originally placed on A and $360K was originally placed on D. Frank and Melissa now opt for the quick change and transfer the 140K over to D. The correct answer is...D!

QUESTION 4 CATEGORIES: U.S. STATES/ANIMATED CHARACTERS

Up next...U.S. States.

Q4: How many U.S. states begin with the letter "A"?
A: 3
B: 4
C: 5

All of the money is on B. Are they correct? Yes!

QUESTION 5 CATEGORIES: WAREHOUSE SHOPPING/AIRLINE TRAVEL

Frank and Melissa choose Airline Travel.

Q5: Departing from LAX at the same time doing the same speed, which flight would take the least amount of time?
A: The one going to Sydney, Australia
B: The one going to Rome, Italy
C: The one going to Tokyo, Japan

They lose 260K on A, but they keep 240K with the correct answer of C.

QUESTION 6 CATEGORIES: TELEVISION/SPENDING

Up next for Frank and Melissa, Spending.

Q6: Which of these do American adults spend the most money on annually?
A: Casino Gambling
B: Movie Tickets
C: Video Games

B was wrong, and they pay a penalty of $180,000. However, A is correct, keeping 60K in play for the final question of their game.

QUESTION 7 CATEGORIES: FAST FOOD/THE BEATLES

Q7: Which McDonald's menu item debuted first?
A: Fillet-O-Fish
B: Egg McMuffin

All of their money is placed on B before opting for a fact on the Fillet-O-Fish in which it debuted in 1962. They didn't need all of an extra 60 seconds to not change their mind as far as what they thought the right answer is concerned.

The correct answer is...A! Frank and Melissa played like champions, but got no reward to show for their efforts in the end. We're back on Thursday night when another team of contestants sees what drops, and hopefully it's not all of $1,000,000.
