Who Wants to Be a Millionaire by Don Harpwood, GSNN

Air time: Check listings or millionairetv.com
Host: Meredith Vieira

Millionaire's trip to Walt Disney World continues, and Amy Low (Greenwood, IN), who had reached $25,000 yesterday, is back for more today.

Amy says the only place she had seen that much money before yesterday's show was on her student loan. She plans on using the money to pay off that loan, plus she has a wedding coming up, so she could use some more for that. With that, the game resumes, and after getting to $50,000 without much of a problem, she faces this...

[$100,000]
What explorer, who landed on the Australian coast in 1770, was the first to record the word "kangaroo"?
A: Vasco da Gama
B: Ferdinand Magellan
C: James Cook
D: Francis Drake

Amy calls her high school history teacher, Sandy, and though she says she's not sure at first, she says that C is the only one that she knows was at least in Australia. Amy doesn't see that as enough help, though, so she plays it safe, and switches the question. It turns out that it was C, after all, but now, she faces a new question...

[$100,000] (Q)
What White House official's initials are also an abbreviation for his job title?
A: Donald Rumsfeld
B: Dick Cheney
C: Alberto Gonzales
D: John Snow

Amy says that C is the Attorney General, so she goes with C... and she's right! Next question...

[$250,000]
What was the real name of the Greek philosopher Plato?
A: Theodorus
B: Aristocles
C: Glaucus
D: Leucippus

Amy hasn't studied enough philosophy, unfortunately, so she walks with $100,000! We then see that it was B.

The next player is Pam Peck (Port Charlotte, FL), who gets a hug from Donald Duck just after sitting in the hot seat. She was once a deputy, but she is now retired. So, I guess this is for some extra retirement money, then. Pam starts by knowing that in the U.S., televisions are now almost universally sold with a remote control (though if there were such a thing as a RoboDad, it would probably require one anyway). She gets through the lower tier, then eventually gets to this...

[$16,000]
As of 2006, the FDA is requiring Nutrition Facts labels to include what additional category?
A: Trans fats
B: Lactose
C: Antioxidants
D: Electrolytes

The 50:50 leaves A and C. Pam says A... and she's right! Moving on...

[$25,000]
Which of the following is the name of a team in the WNBA and not the NBA?
A: Toronto Raptors
B: Charlotte Bobcats
C: Houston Comets
D: Memphis Grizzlies

Pam asks the audience, and both polls favor C (58% of the studio audience; 39% of the AIM users). Pam trusts them... and she has $25,000! Then, she trusts her first instinct on the $50,000 question, and gets it!

That's all the time she'll have for today, though. Pam will attempt to make a lot more money tomorrow.
