Synopsis
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,
