Episode 32
Jim Meyer is the first hot seat contestant in the year 2000. He cruises on up to $2,000, but needed his 50:50 on his $4,000 question. He then works his way to the $16,000 question where he hits another roadblock. He asks the audience on this question and wins. His $32,000 question was no problem, but his $64,000 question was the last roadblock he hit. He used his Phone-a-Friend and went with his answer, only to figure out he was wrong. At least he didn't lose anything. Jim leaves with $32,000. Next in the hot seat, Joe Roberts. He uses his Phone-a-Friend on his $4,000 question. He then uses the other two on his $16,000 question about what St. Petersburg used to be known as (Leningrad). Without any lifelines, he works his way up to $250,000. He has a slight idea on his $500,000 question about who was credited with designing the uniforms worn by the Vatican's Swiss guards (Michelangelo), but he didn't want to risk it. However, his instinct would have been right. Last one in the hot seat,

David Fite returns to the hot seat. When he left off, he was at $1,000 after using his Ask the Audience on his $100 question. David takes a little revenge as he works all the way to the $500,000 question without using another lifeline. He was already pretty sure who taught a teenage Alexander the Great (Aristotle), but he used his 50:50 to be even more sure. He goes for it and wins $500,000. He used his Phone-a-Friend to call his mother on his $1,000,000 question (no, he wasn't pulling another John Carpenter). She was not at all sure of what language Anne Frank's diary was first published in (Dutch), and he wasn't either, so he leaves with $500,000. Next in the seat is Dale Masel. He works up to $16,000 without a problem. He asks the audience what the capital of Australia is (Canberra). He goes with the audience and says Sydney, but misses the question. He leaves with $1,000. Jeff Wilkie is the last one in the seat for this episode. He works up to the $2,000 question and then needs a P

Jeff Wilkie is the returning contestant on this episode of Millionaire. At the beginning of the show, Regis says he got some fortune cookies for Jeff because he claimed that the cookie was what helped David Fite win his $500,000 on the previous episode. Jeff left off at $2,000 with his 50:50 and his Ask the Audience with him. He asks the audience on his $4,000 question about what band Peter Gabriel was the lead singer for. The audience says Genesis. He goes with the audience and wins $4,000. He uses his 50:50 on his $16,000 question about where the transcontinental railroad was completed. He says Utah and wins. His $32,000 and $64,000 questions gave him no problems. He says he had a gut instinct about what science fiction author was credited with the idea of orbiting communications satellites (Alfred C. Clarke) for his $125,000 question, but decides he can't risk it. He walks with $64,000, guesses with his gut instinct just for the heck of it, and would have been right. Oh well. Ken He

Jason Block is the returning contestant in this episode. He has already won $16,000 with 2 lifelines left. Jason then wins $125,000 without a hitch. However, his $250,000 question about the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Aretha Franklin) gave him some problems. He asks the audience first. The audience is tied between Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. He then uses his 50:50 and it leaves Franklin along with Diana Ross. He then walks away because he wasn't sure enough, and it turned out the audience was right. Eric Molnar is next to try for $1,000,000. He gets up to $16,000 without a problem. He then asks the audience on his $32,000 question and wins the $32,000. His $64,000 question gave him no problems. He then decides to phone a friend for his $125,000 question about the name of the dog on Cracker Jack boxes (Bingo). He then uses his 50:50 and it leaves Bingo and Chance. He guesses Chance, but loses. Shannon McGehee is the next one in the hot seat with

Mark McDermott is the returning contestant in this episode. He has already won $64,000 with 2 lifelines left: his Phone-a-Friend and his 50:50. He works his way to $250,000 without a problem along the way. However, his $500,000 question about what ship is believed to have passed by the Titanic, ignoring its distress signals (Californian) was a different story. He uses his 50:50 and it leaves Californian and Carpathia. He decides to save his Phone-a-Friend for the $1,000,000 question and he confidently says the answer is the Carpathia, makes it his final answer, and loses $218,000. The next in the hot seat is Kevin Connors. He uses his 50:50 on his $2,000 question about what mint is ""curiously strong"" (Altoids). He later uses his Phone-a-Friend on his $16,000 question about which of 4 people was never selected as Time Magazine's Man of the Year (Bill Gates). He goes with Bill Clinton and misses. Dave Fought is the next player to try for $1,000,000. He asks the audience on his $4,000 que

The returning player in this episode is Sean Farrelly. He has already won $1,000 with all 3 lifelines with him. He works his way up to $64,000 with no problems. But his $125,000 question about which of 4 inventions Thomas Jefferson did NOT invent (Fountain Pen) gave him some trouble. He uses his 50:50, leaving him Fountain Pen and Folding Campstool. He then uses his Phone-a-Friend. His friend says the answer is the folding campstool, and because he was originally thinking the same thing, he goes with it and drops down to $32,000. The next contestant is Mike Huggins. He asks the audience on his $300 question about the boast Caesar made after defeating Pharnaces in 47 B.C. (Veni vidi vici) 74% said ""Veni vidi vici"", and believe it or not, 4% actually voted for the joke answer (""Hey, fugeddaboudit!"")! He works his way up to $1,000, but he practically tortured himself on his $2,000 question about what fictional town's daily wife was chronicled by Garrison Keillor (Lake Wobegon). He had to

The returning contestant in this episode if Lawrence Caplan. He has already won $2,000 with his 50:50 and his Phone-a-Friend left. He used his 50:50 on his $32,000 question about the first president born in a hospital (Jimmy Carter). Then he works his way to $250,000 without a hitch. His $500,000 question, however, gave him a few problems. He agonized about it for some time before he decided to Phone a Friend. His friend did not know what single spent the most weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart (""One Sweet Day""), so then Lawrence agonizes about whether to walk away or go for it. He first decides to walk away, but then later decides to go for it. He says the answer is ""I Will Always Love You"", loses $218,000, and leaves with $32,000. The next in the hot seat is Nathan Cone. He decides to phone a friend on his $4,000 question about what piece of medical equipment is used to shock the heart into a normal rhythm (Defibrillator).

Episode 118
This episode's returning contestant is Eric Lillienthal, who left off at the $32,000 question with two lifelines left. He uses both his remaining lifelines, Phone-a-Friend first, to figure out what talk show host was a VH1 VJ (Rosie O'Donnell). Eric's friend says Queen Latifah is a little too obvious and guesses Ricki Lake, which was taken away by the 50:50. Rosie O'Donnell and Queen Latifah are left. He goes with the Queen, but misses. He loses $15,000, reducing him to $1,000. Next in the hot seat is David Goodman. He wins $500,000 without using a single lifeline. On his $1,000,000 question about where Paddington Bear was originally from (Peru), instead of pulling another John Carpenter move, David toyed with the audience by using all 3 lifelines although he specifically said after using the 50:50 that he got it. The lifeline left Peru and Iceland. He then asks the audience. 57% say Peru, 42% said Iceland, and 1% voted for an eliminated answer! He then uses his last lifeline and calls
