Night 5
August 13
"Angela Watt from Oxford, MI, about to
face one of the biggest challenges of her life! She's got two lifelines
left, and still eight questions away from winning $1 million! But
Angela's the mother of twin boys, so surely she can handle ANYTHING!
Find out and cheer her on as the return of Millionaire to primetime
continues!"
With those words, Angela Watt makes her
return to the Hot Seat with $4000 and two lifelines remaining, her PAF
and her Expert. Tonight's Expert is CNN senior political correspondent
Candy Crowley. So far, she's banked 52 seconds in addition to the 45

but on New Year's Eve, she "just has to let it out" by "getting a little
naked" at midnight.
