Kerri didn't know this question, but she also didn't know what to do next. After some Eddie's suggestion, she decided to use 'Phone-A-Friend' lifeline. Her former Phone-A-Friends are: Pete Bosley - a sports show host, Tim Cobmon - former Nine Network Midday Show executive and Glen Murray - head of communications for South Cox, she chose Pete Bosley. Pete Bosley said it was A, but it was just a guess, 'cause he didn't know this either. Kerri was even going to use her '50:50' to narrow the chance. But as she got nothing to lose, she decided to go with Pete and locked in A, which was correct.

She thought Bill Hayden was the correct answer at first, but it was just a guest, so she used her '50:50' - her last lifeline. Surprisingly, the '50:50' lifeline eliminated Bill Hayden and Sir Paul Hasluck too. She wasn't still confident about 2 remaining options, also she didn't want to risk $32,000, so she went away and took the money. She would have guessed B, but if she had continued to play, she would have won $125,000.

TOTAL PRIZE MONEY: $64,000
