00:49Hot Seat. Good luck.
00:58Hey Mark, welcome to the Hot Seat. Thanks Bec. Now you work in the disability sector.
01:03Yeah. What do you get out of it? You get a lot of feeling good about helping people.
01:10Fantastic. I believe you've been learning sign language. I know some basic stuff.
01:13What about Let's Play Hot Seat? Oh, let's play hot seat. Okay Mark, you know how it works.
01:23There are 15 questions standing between you and the top prize of $1 million. An incorrect
01:28answer that means you're out of the game and the top prize drops the level. But after five
01:32correct answers, $1,000 will be banked. You all have one lifeline. It's called the pass.
01:38Please make sure you use it wisely. Okay Mark, let's play.
01:47Your first question is for $100. You have 15 seconds to answer. Good luck.
01:53A traditional children's party game is pin the tail on the what?
02:04Pin the tail on the I feel I know this one. There'd be something wrong if I didn't. Let's
02:10lock in D donkey. Lock in, pin the tail on the donkey is correct for $100.
02:20Here is your question for $200. In the 1960s, what was a popular name for the peaceful ethic
02:27promoted by hippies? A, flower power. B, dove love. C, sun fun. D, smile style.
02:35Okay, a little bit before my time. Born in the 60s. But I feel I know this. Again, something
02:44wrong if I didn't. Got the hair. I'd say, let's lock in a flower power.
02:50Lock in a flower power with one second to go. That's correct.
03:01Often symbolised by wearing flowers, flower power was rooted in opposition to the Vietnam
03:05War. Here's your question for $300.
03:08Hailing from the Himalayas, Sherpas are renowned for what skill?
03:13A, camel herding. B, deep sea diving. C, ice fishing. D, mountaineering.
03:19The Himalayas, they're mountains obviously. So I don't think deep sea diving fits.
03:26So, or ice fishing. So I think mountaineering, let's lock in D.
03:32Lock in D with two seconds to go. Mark. D is correct. Do that again.
03:42Tell you what, those 15 seconds goes really quickly.
03:46It does, doesn't it?
03:46It really does. Now playing for $500. Here's your question.
03:51Which of these words is commonly used to describe the shape of an egg?
03:55A, ovoid. B, conical. C, rubicund. D, cuboid.
04:01Okay.
04:05Commonly used to describe the shape of an egg.
04:08I know they're oval shaped, so the only one that sticks out.
04:12I would say lock in A, ovoid.
04:14Lock in A. You like getting down to the wire there, don't you, Mark?
04:17Let's live dangerously.
04:19Live dangerously.
04:21A is correct.
04:27You're now playing for a banked $1,000.
04:29A reminder your pass is still available.
04:31Fantastic.
04:33A major airport in which Australian city is named for aviator Charles Kingford-Smith?
04:39A, Melbourne.
04:40B, Brisbane.
04:41C, Sydney.
04:42D, Darwin.
04:44Seeing I live in New South Wales, I'd probably get deported if I got it wrong.
04:50Let's lock in C, Sydney.
04:52Lock in C. Sydney is correct.
05:00Congratulations, you've banked $1,000, which means whoever's in the hot seat for our 15th
05:05question will take that money home.
05:07Awesome.
05:07You've just flown through the first five questions.
05:10You're now 10 questions away from $1 million.
05:14Can you go all the way?
05:16Well, let's hope so.
05:17Let's find out right after the break.
05:28Welcome back to Hot Seat.
05:29I'm here with Mark.
05:30He's 10 questions away from $1 million.
05:32Good luck.
05:33Here's your question.
05:36In computing, what does the initialism GPU stand for?
05:41A, general power utility.
05:43B, global preference update.
05:45C, graphics processing unit.
05:47D, gaming performance upgrade.
05:52Computing, it's not my strong point.
05:57There's one or two that stand out, but I don't think I want to risk it at the moment, so
06:02I
06:03might pass at this stage.
06:04Absolutely.
06:05Use your pass.
06:05Take a seat.
06:06You're still in the game.
06:07See you on the next time, Lauren.
06:12Hi, Mitchell.
06:13Hi, Rebecca.
06:14Welcome to the hot seat.
06:16Bit of a trivia fan.
06:17Yes.
06:17Big, big trivia fan.
06:18What's your area of expertise?
06:20I would probably say American sports.
06:23I love my NFL.
06:24I'm a big fan of the Seattle Seahawks.
06:26What's your computing knowledge like?
06:29It's decent.
06:30Decent?
06:31Yeah, decent.
06:31Well, Mitchell, you do have to answer this question correctly to stay in the game.
06:35Yeah, certainly.
06:35Here's your question.
06:36In computing, what does the initialism GPU stand for?
06:41I do have a gaming PC back at home.
06:44It's a laptop with a very high-end.
06:46I think it's C, graphics processing unit.
06:51I'd like to lock that one in, please.
06:54Lock in graphics processing unit.
06:57Love a bit of gaming?
06:58Yeah, love my gaming.
06:59Yep.
06:59No point in dragging this out then, isn't there?
07:01Probably not.
07:02C is correct.
07:10Let's keep going.
07:11Here's your next question.
07:14Who defeated Bobby Riggs in the 1973 exhibition tennis match known as the Battle of the Sexes?
07:21A, Martina Navratilova.
07:23B, Billie Jean King.
07:25C, Chris Everett.
07:26D, Steffi Graff.
07:28I have seen the movie with Steve Carell and I think it's Emma Stone.
07:34I think Emma Stone plays Billie Jean King and I think she's the one that beat Bobby Riggs.
07:42So, I'm going to lock in B, Billie Jean King.
07:47Lock in B, Billie Jean King.
07:49Great film, wasn't it?
07:50Oh, fantastic film.
07:52Also correct.
07:52B is correct.
07:5829-year-old Billie Jean King took on Riggs after he boasted that even at the age of 55 he
08:04could beat any female player.
08:07She beat him in three straight sets, as you do.
08:12Okay, Mitchell.
08:13Eight questions from a million dollars.
08:15You're now playing for $4,000.
08:16Good luck.
08:16Awesome.
08:16Here's your question.
08:18The three orders of classical Greek architecture are Doric, Ionic and what other?
08:24A, Corinthian.
08:26B, Rococo.
08:27C, Byzantine.
08:29D, Republican.
08:31Ooh, okay.
08:33I was trying to brush up on my Greek history, but I never got around to Greek architecture.
08:41Um, I think I'm going to pass on this one.
08:45You should pass?
08:49Ooh, yes, I think I will pass.
08:51Absolutely, Mitchell.
08:51Take a seat.
08:53Still in the game.
08:53See you on the next time round.
08:59Ruth!
09:01Welcome to the hot seat.
09:03Happy to be here.
09:03How's your Greek architecture?
09:05Oh, look, I'm not going to say it's wonderful, but I do know a little bit about Greek history.
09:10Good, because your pass is blocked.
09:11You have to get this one right to stay in the game.
09:13The three orders of classical Greek architecture are Doric, Ionic and what other?
09:18Okay, so I've narrowed it down to either A or D.
09:24I know Rococo is Marie Antoinette style and Byzantine is Turkey kind of area.
09:29Wow.
09:29So I think I'm going to just lock in A, Corinthian.
09:33Lock in A, Corinthian.
09:35There was a little bit of a...
09:37Yes.
09:38Ruth, you needed to lock in Corinthian.
09:41A is correct.
09:47Wow.
09:48We have got a cracking game on our hands.
09:50Six players still remaining.
09:52Seven questions away from one million dollars.
09:55Can Ruth or any of our contenders get that million dollars?
09:59We'll find out right after this break.
10:12Welcome back.
10:13I'm here with Ruth.
10:14She is seven questions away from one million dollars.
10:16Ruth, if you win some cash, what are you going to do with it?
10:19Well, I've got two things.
10:21Obviously, I'm aiming for the big, big dollars.
10:23So I would like to pursue some IVF treatment.
10:26Maybe pursue being a single mum.
10:28Fantastic.
10:29And also, because that may not work out, I'd like to open my own doggy daycare.
10:35How wonderful.
10:36Okay, Ruth, let's see how close we can get you to that million, if not all the way.
10:39You're now playing for 6,000.
10:41And your pass is also available.
10:43Excellent.
10:43Good luck.
10:45Who was the first female artist to have had number one albums in the UK over five consecutive decades?
10:53A, Madonna.
10:54B, Cher.
10:55C, Kylie Minogue.
10:57D, Annie Lennox.
11:00Well, this one's tricky.
11:02First female artist.
11:04Five consecutive decades.
11:07Um, could be Madonna.
11:11Could be Annie Lennox, though.
11:13I'm actually going to pass on this one, I think.
11:15Use your pass.
11:16Yes, I am going to pass that.
11:18Absolutely.
11:19If you don't know the answer, it's always good to pass.
11:21Take a seat.
11:22See you soon.
11:27Hi, Ed.
11:29Hello, Bec.
11:29How are you?
11:30I'm good.
11:30Welcome to the hot seat.
11:32What do you know about female artists?
11:33Not much, unfortunately.
11:34There's some great ones there.
11:36Yeah.
11:37Well, you've just got to work out who is the first female artist to have had number one
11:41albums in the UK over five consecutive decades.
11:46All right.
11:47Uh, I'm not certain that Annie Lennox has done much too recently.
11:53Uh, Madonna's just an icon.
11:55Kylie's an icon.
11:57Cher's an icon.
11:59Uh, anything I say is going to be a complete guess.
12:01So, uh, in the UK, I'm going to go with the local girl, Kylie.
12:09Lock in C, Kylie.
12:10Lock in C, Kylie.
12:12A local girl, Kylie.
12:14She's been living in the UK, hasn't she?
12:16I think Madonna's been living there too.
12:18Ed, who was the first, it's a guess, right?
12:20Yeah, it's a complete guess.
12:22It was, of course.
12:24Our very own Kylie Minogue.
12:25Stand for it.
12:33Now, Ed, you helped design the tallest building in the world.
12:36Tell me about that.
12:37Uh, so it was the Burge, uh, in the, in Dubai.
12:40And, um...
12:41How tall is that?
12:41Like, easily 800 metres tall.
12:44Um...
12:44Wow!
12:45I worked for a company that did, uh, loading dock doors.
12:48Mm-hmm.
12:48And they needed some special loading dock doors for the, um, to suit the facade.
12:53So, I got on the design, design side of things and designed some doors for them.
12:57How fantastic.
12:58Okay, Ed, six questions away from $1 million.
13:00You're now paying for $10,000.
13:02Good luck.
13:04Which famous investor is nicknamed the Oracle of Omaha?
13:09A, George Soros.
13:12B, Warren Buffett.
13:13C, Benjamin Graham.
13:15D, Michael Burry.
13:18Finance, another area I'm not great in.
13:20Uh, I have a feeling I know who it is, but I'm not...
13:25Who are you leaning towards?
13:26I'm, I'm leaning towards Warren Buffett, but I'm just not certain.
13:31I can't risk it.
13:32I think I'm going to use my pass.
13:34Fair enough.
13:34I will use my pass.
13:34Use your pass.
13:35That is what it's for, Ed.
13:36Take a seat.
13:36Nice, thank you.
13:37We're still in the game.
13:43Nathan.
13:44Hello, Beck.
13:45Welcome to the hot seat.
13:47What do you know about famous investors?
13:49Not much at all, no.
13:50You've got to get this question right to stay in the game.
13:53Which famous investor is nicknamed the Oracle of Omaha?
13:58I have absolutely no idea.
14:02Warren Buffett's probably the only one I've actually heard of.
14:10I'm going to have to lock in B. Warren Buffett.
14:14Lock in B. Warren Buffett.
14:16Do you know who Warren Buffett is?
14:19I've heard the name.
14:20Not really.
14:21Haven't really heard of the others?
14:23No.
14:24You needed to lock in B. Warren Buffett.
14:32I've got to say, I can feel a chair spin coming.
14:36Nathan, you love to DJ.
14:38And is this something that you do at home?
14:40Yeah, yeah.
14:41So, not all the time.
14:42But I've got my own decks.
14:44Have you?
14:44Yeah.
14:45And you're teaching your girls, I believe?
14:47Yeah, trying to.
14:48How old are they?
14:48Four and two.
14:49Four and two?
14:50Yeah.
14:51So, there's a lot of dancing going on at your place.
14:52There is, yeah.
14:53Yep.
14:53Constantly.
14:54Let's get to it.
14:55You are playing for $20,000.
14:56You now have 45 seconds.
14:58Good luck.
15:00The tallest mountain in our solar system, Olympus Mons, is on which planet?
15:05A, Venus.
15:07B, Mars.
15:08C, Jupiter.
15:08D, Neptune.
15:12It's between Jupiter or Venus, I think.
15:18Olympus Mons.
15:22I'm going to lock in C, please, Jupiter.
15:25Lock in C, Jupiter.
15:28It was actually B.
15:29It was Mars.
15:32Three times taller than Mount Everest.
15:34Thank you so much for playing.
15:35It was lovely to meet you.
15:36Thank you very much.
15:36You've been a wonderful contestant.
15:44Percy, welcome to the hot seat.
15:46Hi.
15:47You were a national POM champion.
15:49I was.
15:50So for those of us who don't know what that is, what is POM dancing?
15:53So POM dancing is a form of dancing where you do lots of formations and motions with
15:58your hands and you have some POMs in there.
16:00It originates from, I assume, a cheerleading type background, but now it's actually really
16:05popular.
16:06How did you get into that?
16:07Well, my daughter was a dancer and we saw at one of the earlier comps in the year that
16:12there was a group of mums giving it a go.
16:14So we said, why don't we give it a go?
16:15And we went all the way to nationals and won.
16:20Well, Kirstie, you are now four questions away from the top prize of $250,000.
16:27I might get you to show me a bit of pom-pom sign.
16:30Oh, gosh.
16:31While we go to a break.
16:41Welcome back to Millionaire Hot Seat.
16:43I'm here with Kirstie.
16:44She's four questions away from a quarter of a million dollars.
16:47Here's your question for $20,000.
16:48You have 45 seconds.
16:50Your pass is available.
16:51Good luck.
16:51Thanks.
16:54What does the F stand for in the celebrated American author's name, F. Scott Fitzgerald?
17:00A. Franklin.
17:01B. Ford.
17:02C. Forrest.
17:03D. Francis.
17:07I actually really have no idea, so it's going to be a pure guess.
17:12I don't know why, but for some reason I'm going with C. Forrest.
17:19Lock it in.
17:21Lock in C. Forrest.
17:23Just a guess.
17:24Total guess.
17:25For some reason, Forrest.
17:27Forrest Scott Fitzgerald?
17:29Yeah.
17:29Forrest Gump was named after an author.
17:34Kind of logic.
17:37What does the F stand for in the celebrated American author's name, F. Scott Fitzgerald?
17:42You've locked in C. Forrest Kirstie.
17:44It was D. Francis.
17:47Thank you so much for playing.
17:48I hope you had fun.
17:50You're having to meet me.
17:55Hey, Mark.
17:56Hey, Bec.
17:57You're three questions away from $100,000.
18:00Here's your $20,000 question.
18:02Good luck.
18:17Estonia is definitely something I know absolutely nothing about, so like the last few people, it's going to be a
18:27pure guess.
18:29Let's lock in B, please.
18:31Let's lock in B, please.
18:32Lock in the B, Rigger.
18:34It was D, Talon.
18:37Well, I like you.
18:38I'm so sorry.
18:39Thank you so much for playing.
18:40It was lovely to be here.
18:40Good to meet you.
18:47Hi, Mitchell.
18:48Welcome back.
18:49Thank you, Rebecca.
18:50Your mum, Barbara, is here.
18:51Where's Barbara?
18:52Hi, Barbara.
18:53Hi, Rebecca.
18:54Now, Mitchell, if you win $50,000, what would you do with that?
18:56I would probably renew my passport and take the next flight out of Kingsford Smith Airport to fly to the
19:03Pacific Northwest to see the Seattle Seahawks play.
19:06Would you take your mum?
19:07Yeah, absolutely.
19:08I would.
19:08I'd like to take my mum.
19:09All right, Mitchell, you are two questions away from $50,000.
19:13Awesome.
19:14Good luck.
19:16What is the name of the fictional Soviet counterintelligence agency that features in the early James Bond novels?
19:23A, Smirsh, B, Smash, C, Smolk, D, Smile.
19:30Hmm, okay.
19:33I have seen a few James Bond films in my time.
19:41I'm not entirely sure about the acronym.
19:45I was expecting Spectre.
19:49But Smash, I don't know.
19:51I'm leaning towards A, Smirsh, for some reason.
19:56It just seems to be calling out to me.
19:59It sounds...
20:0015 seconds.
20:01It sounds very Soviet counterintelligence.
20:0410 seconds.
20:05I'd like to lock in A, Smirsh.
20:08Lock in A, Smirsh.
20:11To get you closer to that $50,000, you need it to lock in.
20:16A, Smirsh.
20:17Oh, my goodness.
20:24Sorry, I had to do that.
20:25No, no, that's okay.
20:26A bit of drama.
20:27Yeah, absolutely.
20:30Wow, look, it's gone gold.
20:31You know what that means.
20:32Final question, my friend.
20:34Oh, is it?
20:34It's the final question.
20:36Jeez.
20:37For $50,000, how are you feeling?
20:42Speechless.
20:43Any words of advice, Barb?
20:46Just be you.
20:47Yep.
20:48Just be you.
20:49You got faith in him?
20:51Oh, absolutely.
20:52You're getting emotional up there, Mum.
20:54Oh, bless your heart.
20:56He's going to do well.
20:57Here you go, Mitchell.
20:58Okay.
20:58$50,000 question, 45 seconds.
21:02Oh.
21:04Once a popular drawing material,
21:07sepia is a natural pigment derived from which marine animals?
21:12A, sea snails.
21:14B, horseshoe crabs.
21:15C, cuttlefish.
21:17D, sea urchins.
21:20Okay.
21:21Sepia.
21:22Um, hmm.
21:24For some reason, cuttlefish seems to be calling out to me.
21:29Yeah.
21:30I just want to...
21:31Yeah.
21:34I'm going to lock in C, cuttlefish.
21:38Lock in C, cuttlefish.
21:41This is just a guess.
21:42I think I might know it, actually.
21:44Something calling out to you?
21:45Yeah.
21:46The voice is in the back of my mind.
21:48Bob, you think you might have it right?
21:50I hope so.
21:53Mitchell, you've locked in C, cuttlefish.
21:56I can tell you right now,
21:59it is C, cuttlefish.
22:01You've just won $50,000.
22:06Come on down, Bob.
22:07Come down and give him a hug.
22:09Congratulations.
22:10Thank you so much.
22:11Oh, my God.
22:12That was so good.
22:14That's so great.
22:18Give me a hug.
22:19I can't help.
22:20I can't help.
