This episode's returning contestant is Eric Lillienthal, who left off at the $32,000 question with two lifelines left. He uses both his remaining lifelines, Phone-a-Friend first, to figure out what talk show host was a VH1 VJ (Rosie O'Donnell). Eric's friend says Queen Latifah is a little too obvious and guesses Ricki Lake, which was taken away by the 50:50. Rosie O'Donnell and Queen Latifah are left. He goes with the Queen, but misses. He loses $15,000, reducing him to $1,000. Next in the hot seat is David Goodman. He wins $500,000 without using a single lifeline. On his $1,000,000 question about where Paddington Bear was originally from (Peru), instead of pulling another John Carpenter move, David toyed with the audience by using all 3 lifelines although he specifically said after using the 50:50 that he got it. The lifeline left Peru and Iceland. He then asks the audience. 57% say Peru, 42% said Iceland, and 1% voted for an eliminated answer! He then uses his last lifeline and calls

He was already pretty sure who taught a teenage Alexander the Great (Aristotle), but he used his 50:50 to be even more sure. He goes for it and wins $500,000. He used his Phone-a-Friend to call his mother on his $1,000,000 question (no, he wasn't pulling another John Carpenter). She was not at all sure of what language Anne Frank's diary was first published in (Dutch), and he wasn't either, so he leaves with $500,000. Next in the seat is Dale Masel. He works up to $16,000 without a problem. He asks the audience what the capital of Australia is (Canberra). He goes with the audience and says Sydney, but misses the question. He leaves with $1,000.

At least he didn't lose anything. Jim leaves with $32,000. Next in the hot seat, Joe Roberts. He uses his Phone-a-Friend on his $4,000 question. He then uses the other two on his $16,000 question about what St. Petersburg used to be known as (Leningrad). Without any lifelines, he works his way up to $250,000. He has a slight idea on his $500,000 question about who was credited with designing the uniforms worn by the Vatican's Swiss guards (Michelangelo), but he didn't want to risk it.
