NEW YORK - Idaho resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her
friends and family Tuesday when she set a new standard for stupidity
with her appearance on the popular TV show, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire."
It seems that Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck
on the first question, and proceeded to make what fans of the show
are dubbing "the absolute worst use of lifelines ever."
After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans
assured her that she was ready to play, whereupon the usual $100
question was put to her. The question was:
"Which of the following is the largest?"
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?
Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she
realized that this was a question to which she did not really know
the answer.
"Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie," said Evans, as Vieira did her level
best to hide her disbelief and disgust. "I mean, I'm sure I've heard
of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be."
Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the
50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was
bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with this tricky
question, Evans still remained unsure.
"Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!" exclaimed Evans.
"Darn. I think I better phone a friend."
Using the second of her two lifelines on the first question, Mrs.
Evans asked to be connected to her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant.
"Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!" said Evans,
wasting the first seven seconds of her call. "Ok, I got an important
question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or
C, the moon. 15 seconds hun."
Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans
proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.
"Come on Betsy, are you sure?" said Evans. "How sure are you? Puh,
that can't be it."
To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her
friend's advice and pick 'The Moon.'
"I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright.
So I think I'd like to ask the audience," said Evans.
Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in
favour of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines,
Evans then made an interesting choice.
"Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking," said the
too-stupid-to-live Evans. "But you know, sometimes you just got to go
with your gut. So, let's see. For which is larger, an elephant or the
moon, I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer."
Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with
bated breath, and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer
was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'
