If you watch the video, Chris Tarrant states that "we've never, ever done Ask the Audience at this level before," signifying that this would be the first time that a contestant used the Ask the Audience lifeline on a £500,000 question; which, now that you've notified me about Jonathan Green, is false; it was used one prior time on a £500,000 question. The difference between Jonathan Green and Kate Heusser's scenarios is that in Green's scenario, he did not have the 50:50 lifeline available in order to narrow down the answer options, and although the correct answer did receive the most votes, it did not receive the majority of votes, so Green walked away with £250,000, whereas in Kate Heusser's case, she still had her 50:50 lifeline available, so she used it first, in order to narrow down the options, and then asked the audience, and in her case, the majority of the audience did go with the correct answer, so she went for it, and won £500,000.
