Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US): Mark McDermott is the returning contestant in this episode. He has already won $64,000 with 2 lifelines left: his Phone-a-Friend and his 50:50. He works his way to $250,000 without a problem along the way. However, his $500,000 question about what ship is believed to have passed by the Titanic, ignoring its distress signals (Californian) was a different story. He uses his 50:50 and it leaves Californian and Carpathia. He decides to save his Phone-a-Friend for the $1,000,000 question and he confidently says the answer is the Carpathia, makes it his final answer, and loses $218,000. The next in the hot seat is Kevin Connors. He uses his 50:50 on his $2,000 question about what mint is "curiously strong" (Altoids). He later uses his Phone-a-Friend on his $16,000 question about which of 4 people was never selected as Time Magazine's Man of the Year (Bill Gates). He goes with Bill Clinton and misses. Dave Fought is the next player to try for $1,000,000. He asks the audience on his $4,000 question about Paul Revere's profession (Silversmith). He later uses his 50:50 on his $32,000 question about what film explored the like of David Helfgott (Shine). The lifeline left Immortal Beloved and Shine. He wins $32,000. He phones a friend on his $64,000 question about what president's image is on the Purple Heart military award (George Washington). His friend is 60% sure it's FDR. So Dave goes with his friend and misses. Next up is Sean Farrelly. He wins $1,000 when time runs out.
