Roger used his final three lifelines to get to the $250,000.  The question was “Al Gore’s famous and oft-ridiculed quote “I took the initiative in creating the Internet” was made in 1999 to what journalist? A: Barbara Walters, B: Larry King, C: Wolf Blitzer, D: Matt Lauer.”  Not knowing, he first used Ask the Expert, with Ashleigh Banfield of TruTV.  She believed it was C but wasn’t too confident.  Next he used Ask the Audience; they believed the answer was B.  He finally used his Double Dip lifeline to select both answers.  Roger first chose B, which was incorrect; afterwhich he chose C which won him $250,000.  Will he be the first $1,000,000 winner in nearly seven years and a thousand episodes?  Watch tomorrow to find out.

Want to know the $500,000 question?  Check under the break for the question and see if you can work it out.  WARNING: READ THE COMMENTS AND BREAK AT YOUR OWN RISK.  THEY WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE SEEN THE SHOW.

    When he used his double dip, he didn’t guess B first. He went with C initially, so he didn’t technically need his double dip.

    As Matt said, he did NOT do both answers on that Double Dip, he did guess Wolf Blitzer originally.

    All of those answers seem logical…if I was to sit and work it out and take a guess (without money on the line!), I’d go with B. I have a theory and it makes sense to me, so I’ll pick that. As for the $250K question…DAMN, I knew it was Wolf Blitzer, I’ve seen the clip a hundred times. I gotta get on this show!

    Way to go cuz. Proud of you. Haven’t seen you and Diane in a few years.

    I’ve been home in NC since Thanksgiving, will be going back to Cinci the end of March for a few months. Maybe I’ll get to see y’all at the family reunion this year.

    Congrats!

    Your oldest cousin — Ruth
