| Tim decides to ask the expert, Ogi at 12 seconds. Ogi says it's a tricky one. He asks what Tim thinks. Tim says he thinks it's polio because he knows bubonic plague is still around and he thinks he's seen a "House" episode about leprosy. He's also pretty sure smallpox is still around, too because he saw an episode of "ER". Ogi gently says that he'll have to disagree because he's pretty sure it's smallpox. He knows plague is still around and agrees that leprosy has been on TV. He adds that people get polio in India. He remembers hearing during the terrorist attacks that although smallpox had been eradicated they might bring it back. He finally says he's 100% sure - "money in the bank."
Tim says Ogi is local to him - he knows where he lives. He chooses to go with Ogi's answer. Meredith says, "Since you know where he lives, you better take him a bottle of champagne." The klaxon then sounded and Tim will return for $50,000 with two lifelines remaining. (Note: Tim have to wait 1 week to continue his run due to Wedding Week) |
