| Ask the Audience Results: A: 24% ⬥ B: 56% ⬥ C: 14% ⬥ D: 6% | |
| Josh said he is "kind of" a Star Wars fan. He said if he were to skip one film it would be The Phantom Menace. He said Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back were the original trilogy so you want to watch those. He said he is leaning toward The Phantom Menace because Anakin Skywalker was just a kid and you can pick up the story later. He then decides to ask the audience. Meredith warns that Josh may have influenced the audience, but added he may not have. Josh went with the audience. The klaxon called time and Josh will come back with $22,500 and with one lifeline remaining.
