By definition, if you suffer from acrophobia, of what are you afraid? '50:50' lifeline used
⬥ A: People	⬥ B: Heights
⬥ C: Water	⬥ D: Outside

Julie doesn't think it's C, but she's not sure about which one it is.

She uses the 50:50 and after A & C are eliminated, she leans towards D, because she figures she'd remember the phobia that indicates a fear of heights. With that in mind, she goes with D, final answer.

Nope, acrophobia is a fear of heights. Agoraphobia is the fear of open spaces, which can often correspond to places outside.

Total Prize Money: $1,000
