00:10I've got six fantastic players with me. Will one of them take home the top prize
00:14of one million dollars? Let's find out. Lana Dennis is a legal secretary with a
00:23side hustle and reading oracle cards. Psychology teacher Tyrone Paris is
00:27obsessed with the Simpsons. Sue Watkins is a retiree who met her husband at an
00:31altitude of 40,000 feet. Queenslander Dennis Martins is a passionate
00:36numismatist. Brett Jenkins is a film buff with an addiction to chicken parmas and
00:41artist Liz Gridley once walked into the wrong party dressed as Cher.
01:00Lana, welcome to the hot seat. Thank you so much for having me. How are you feeling?
01:04I'm kind of excited, bit nervous. So you're a legal secretary by day but Oracle card reader
01:09by night. Yeah, I like to pull out the cards and whenever I've got questions about life
01:14they just give me the answers that I need. Like once they told me to get out of jail and
01:19I quit my job. I was going to say get out of jail. What were you doing in jail? You
01:24quit
01:24your job. I quit my job. And has it led you somewhere? I ended up moving into the same
01:28company that my boss went for so. It's all about inner wisdom isn't it? It is, yeah.
01:32Absolutely. Okay Lana, best of luck. You are 15 questions away from a top prize of one million
01:38dollars. An incorrect answer means the top prize drops a level and sadly you will go home.
01:43After 5 correct answers, $1,000 will be banked. You all have one lifeline, the pass. Okay Lana,
01:51let's play Millionaire Hot Seats. Your first question is for $100. You have 15 seconds.
02:05In Western culture, what jewellery is commonly exchanged at a wedding ceremony? A. Earrings.
02:11B. Anklets. C. Brooches. D. Rings. Anklets would be really fun. But the answer is D rings. So
02:21lock in D rings. Lock in D rings. Rings is correct for $100. Here is your question for $200.
02:35An iconic 1974 boxing match between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali was billed as the rumble in the
02:43what? A. Tundra. B. Savannah. C. Outback. D. Jungle.
02:50I wasn't quite born yet in 1974, but my nephew is a boxing fan. So I do know that the
02:56answer is
02:57D. Jungle. So let's lock in D. Jungle. Lock in D. Rumble in the jungle is correct.
03:10Next question for $300.
03:14The adage, anything that can go wrong will go wrong, is commonly known by what name?
03:20A. Murphy's Law. B. McDonald's Law. C. McEnroe's Law. D. Murray's Law.
03:28Oh, goodness. It's definitely not McDonald's Law. But I think let's go with A. Murphy's Law.
03:35So let's lock in A. Murphy's Law. Lock in A. Murphy's Law. You are going swimmingly.
03:40A is correct.
03:47Here is your question for $500.
03:51Which of these is the name of a standard chess piece?
03:55A. Cardinal. B. Bishop. C. Deacon. D. Minister.
04:02Don't play a lot of chess. But I'm going to, I think Bishop is the only one that I think
04:09would be a piece. So let's go, yeah, B. Bishop. Lock it in. Lock in B. Bishop. Don't play chess?
04:17No. Not even check it. Really? Oh, the oracle cards have told you something.
04:24Because B is correct. $500.
04:31Okay, Lana, you are now playing for a banked $1,000.
04:36And here is your question.
04:38Let's go.
04:41In 2024, whose efforts to remove their portrait from the National Gallery drew worldwide attention
04:48to the artwork?
04:57Oh, I'm not too sure about this one. I want to go with B, Gina Reinhart.
05:06Five seconds.
05:08Let's lock in B, Gina Reinhart.
05:10Lock in B, Gina Reinhart.
05:12Yep.
05:12I saw the portrait. I'd be pretty unhappy if it was me. And it was, of course, B, Gina Reinhart.
05:25Congratulations, you've just banked $1,000, which means whoever is in the hot seat for
05:29the 15th question will take that money home.
05:31It'll be me.
05:32Lana, a million dollars still in play, and we will find out how you go right after this.
05:46Welcome back. I'm here with Lana.
05:49She is 10 questions away from $1,000,000. I think the cards are in your favour tonight.
05:54I think they are.
05:55So far.
05:55This question is worth $1,500, and you have 30 seconds to answer it. Best of luck.
06:13I don't think it's Western Australia or Queensland. It's out of Victoria and New South Wales.
06:20I'm leaning more towards New South Wales.
06:25We do it.
06:28Oh, I don't know.
06:3230 seconds.
06:33Let's, yeah, we want to ask the cards. Um, five.
06:40Let's, I'm going to pass.
06:41Use your pass?
06:42I'm going to use my pass.
06:43Fair enough.
06:43Take a seat.
06:44And we'll see you soon.
06:53Tyrone.
06:53Hello. Nice to meet you.
06:54Nice to meet you two. Welcome to the hot seat.
06:57Psychology teacher.
06:58Yep.
06:58What do you love about your job?
06:59Um, I'm quite passionate about the field of psychology, and, um, I get to share that
07:04passion with my students, and hopefully, um, even if they choose not to do it as a career
07:09path, but they become passionate about it and they can use it in their everyday lives
07:12and in the future.
07:13I think mental health is very important.
07:15Yep.
07:16Yes.
07:16Well, Tyrone, your pass is blocked, unfortunately.
07:19You do have to get this question correct to stay in the game and keep that $1 million in
07:23play.
07:24Yep.
07:24Which Australian state has the largest population?
07:29Um, I do believe it's, it is between New South Wales and Victoria, and I'm pretty sure
07:35it's close.
07:36Like, it's not that much of a gap.
07:39I'm not, I'm not 100% sure, um, but it's definitely between those two, and I can't pass, so I
07:51will
07:51go with New South Wales.
07:52C, lock it in, please.
07:53Lock in C, New South Wales.
07:56And for $1,500.
07:58The correct answer is C, New South Wales.
08:03Oh, wow.
08:08Very good.
08:12Tyrone.
08:13I hear you're obsessed with The Simpsons.
08:15Yep.
08:15Um, always have seasons one to ten, of course, as any true Simpsons fan would agree with.
08:21Yeah.
08:21Um, I have three tattoos, I have memorabilia in collections at home.
08:26So let's hope a Simpsons question comes up.
08:28Oh, that would, that or Pokemon would be fantastic, yeah.
08:30Okay.
08:30I'll do my best.
08:31Yeah, thank you.
08:32Okay.
08:33Tyrone, you are nine questions away from $1 million.
08:36This question is worth $2,500.
08:39Good luck.
08:41An elementary particle, the Higgs boson, is commonly known as the Watt particle.
08:48A, creator.
08:49B, God.
08:50C, deity.
08:52D, supreme being.
08:54Alrighty.
08:55Um, I do not teach science.
08:58I teach psychology, which is a science, despite what some people might say.
09:03Um, I am pretty sure this is B, the God particle.
09:09Lock it in, please.
09:10Lock in B.
09:11The Higgs boson particle was confirmed in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider,
09:16competing a key part of the standard model of particle physics.
09:19Gee, that's a science thing, isn't it?
09:21A lot of science stuff there.
09:22I'm just trying to drag it out a bit.
09:25B is correct.
09:27$2,500.
09:34Okay, Tyrone, you're doing very well.
09:37Well, this is the $4,000 question.
09:40In 2021, a cover by The Wiggles of which Tame Impala song tops Triple J's Hottest 100?
09:48A, Let It Happen.
09:50B, Elephant.
09:51C, Borderline.
09:53D, Lost in Yesterday.
09:55I do know my Wiggles, having two kids.
09:58Um, not that this would be one of the songs that they would listen to.
10:03No.
10:09Probably also my son's favourite animal.
10:12So, I would like to lock in B, Elephant, please.
10:15Lock in B, Elephant.
10:16How old's your son?
10:17Four.
10:18Four.
10:19They do love The Wiggles, don't they?
10:21Yep.
10:22Has he played this song?
10:23Have you played this song?
10:24No, I don't think so.
10:25Okay.
10:25No.
10:25You might want to now, because B is correct.
10:32How are you feeling?
10:38Yep.
10:39Okay.
10:39Pretty good?
10:40Yep.
10:41One million dollars still in place.
10:42Seven questions away.
10:43This question is worth $6,000.
10:48A popular North American grilled sandwich containing corned beef, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut has what name?
10:56A. Muffaletta.
10:58B. Cuban.
11:00C. Monte Cristo.
11:02D. Rubin.
11:05Okay.
11:06Um, I've been to the US a few times.
11:10I do like my sandwiches.
11:12Um, and I think that Cuban and Rubin are pretty similar.
11:19So it's definitely between those two.
11:22It's not...
11:23Ten seconds.
11:24...flitter.
11:25I would like to lock in D. Rubin, please.
11:28Lock in D. Rubin.
11:30I think I've had a Rubin.
11:31Their sandwiches are really thick.
11:33Usually pretty thick.
11:36Mm.
11:38I'm just, you know...
11:40It's my job.
11:42Poker face.
11:45It is D. Rubin, of course it is.
11:54Come on.
11:55Tyrone, your next question is going to be worth $10,000 and I will give you a moment to calm
12:00your nerves and put a smile on your face.
12:02And we'll be right back after this.
12:12Welcome back.
12:13I'm here with Tyrone.
12:14He is six questions away from $1,000,000.
12:17Here's your next question.
12:20In Greek mythology, what was Theseus given to aid him in escaping the labyrinth after killing the Minotaur?
12:27A. Ball of thread.
12:29B. Lantern.
12:30C. Compass.
12:32D. Bow and arrow.
12:35How's your Greek mythology?
12:38Not bad, but not great.
12:45So he's already killed the Minotaur.
12:48He's trying to get out.
12:51I'm not sure.
12:53Ten seconds.
12:54I won't pass.
12:55I'll have a guess.
12:56I will go B. Lantern.
12:58Lock it in, please.
13:00Lock in B. Lantern.
13:03Why did you lead towards Lantern?
13:06Um, just something to help him get out of the labyrinth.
13:10I was tossing up between Lantern and Compass.
13:12But I was not sure.
13:14And I'm not sure.
13:15Yeah.
13:16Tyrone, it was ball of thread.
13:19Okay.
13:19It was A.
13:21Thank you so much for playing.
13:23No worries.
13:23You've been a great time.
13:24Thank you so much.
13:24Trust me.
13:30Hi, Sue.
13:31Hi, Rebecca.
13:32Welcome to the hot seat.
13:33Thank you very much.
13:34Now, listen, you met your husband on a plane.
13:36Yes.
13:36When was this?
13:37In 1985.
13:38I was coming back from a Contiki trip in Europe.
13:40And he was going to Hong Kong with his mate.
13:43And I was going home via Hong Kong.
13:45And now we've been married for 30 years.
13:48Oh, that's so romantic.
13:53Okay.
13:53Well, Sue, you are five questions away from the new top prize of a quarter of a million dollars.
13:58You are now playing for 10,000.
14:00You have 30 seconds.
14:01Good luck.
14:04In the 1930s, which American product's regular slogan was, handiest thing in the house?
14:12A.
14:12Chucks.
14:13B.
14:14Vaseline.
14:14C.
14:15KitchenAid.
14:16D.
14:17Kleenex.
14:18Goodness.
14:19Well, they're all pretty handy, I must say.
14:22So, I'm just trying to go back to the 1930s, what would have been something that was introduced
14:28then.
14:30I really have no idea.
14:32But I'd like to lock in A, please, Rebecca, Chucks.
14:36Lock in A, Chucks.
14:38What made you hit for Chucks, Sue?
14:41Well, I just think every house needs something to wipe things down with, so...
14:46In the 1930s?
14:48I don't know.
14:52Sue, it was B.
14:54Vaseline.
14:55Oh.
14:56Thank you so much for playing.
14:58Pleasure.
14:58Thanks.
14:59Here's so many more flights with your lovely hubby.
15:08Hi, Dennis.
15:09Welcome to the Hot Seat.
15:10Hello, Rebecca.
15:11Nice to meet you.
15:12You too.
15:12You're a former marriage celebrant, current numismatist, which, by the way, as a coin collector,
15:18I just wanted to say numismatist.
15:21That's a good word.
15:22I didn't know that before then.
15:23That's a good word.
15:23How big's your coin collection?
15:25It's quite large, yeah.
15:27A lot of different countries.
15:29My wife always says that I'm trying to find one of every type of coin I've ever made,
15:34but, you know, it's crazy.
15:35Wow.
15:35How long have you been collecting?
15:37Since 1970, when the Captain Cook 50-cent coin came out, and I thought that was the most
15:42wonderful thing I'd ever seen.
15:44And that's not the only thing you collect, I believe.
15:46I collect everything.
15:47I'm just a born collector, I think.
15:48Are you?
15:49Some would say hoarder.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Yeah.
15:52Well, let's hope you can collect the right answers tonight.
15:55Dennis, you are four questions away from the new top prize of $100,000.
15:59Here is your question for $10,000.
16:02Good luck.
16:04In Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls, who is the scientist and father figure behind
16:09the super-powered sisters?
16:12A. Professor Puff.
16:13B. Professor Bolognium.
16:15C. Professor Utonium.
16:17D. Professor Flitwick.
16:42I'm not going to pass, so I'll have a stab at C. Professor Utonium.
16:47Lock it in, please.
16:49Lock in C. Professor Utonium.
16:51What led you towards Utonium?
16:54I thought, when I saw the options, I thought that was something I'd heard.
17:01So you've never seen The Powerpuff Girls?
17:03I know of them, but I've never watched an episode.
17:06No family members that have watched them?
17:12The scientist and father figure for The Powerpuff Girls, Dennis, was actually Professor Utonium.
17:18See, he's correct.
17:26See, at least I got a smile out of you.
17:28That's good.
17:29You had me going.
17:29See, but you're smiling, and you're relaxed, and you're happy.
17:32That's my job.
17:34Dennis, you are three questions away from $100,000.
17:37What would you do with that?
17:39$100,000 is probably not enough to shout everyone a cruise.
17:45Oh, I don't know.
17:47An indoor swimming pool.
17:49Indoor swimming pool?
17:50Yeah.
17:50Okay.
17:51It's also on my list.
17:52Fair enough.
17:53Well, let's see if we can get you there.
17:55Here is your next question for $20,000.
18:17I'm not sure that a jellyfish is a gastropod.
18:22A gastropod is more like a snail.
18:27Um, I'm not sure what a jellyfish is.
18:35Um, I'm leaning towards a queen conch, because it's a, it'd be a snail inside.
18:45So I'd like to lock in a queen conch, please.
18:48Lock in a queen conch.
18:52So you know a little bit about marine life, do you, Dennis?
18:57Uh, I know that they all live in the sea.
19:01They do.
19:03Is queen conch the right answer?
19:08We will find out right after the break.
19:21Welcome back.
19:22I'm here with Dennis.
19:23He is three questions away from $100,000.
19:26He's playing for $20,000.
19:29Shall we find out, Dennis?
19:31Please.
19:31Which of these is a large marine gastropod?
19:34You're locked in a queen conch.
19:38Dennis, A is correct.
19:47Wow.
19:49Here we go.
19:50You are two questions away from $100,000.
19:55How are you feeling?
19:57It's getting real.
19:58This question is for $50,000.
20:00You have 45 seconds to answer.
20:04What is the most abundant metal in Earth's crust?
20:09A, magnesium.
20:11B, aluminium.
20:13C, iron.
20:14D, calcium.
20:18OK, in the crust, the core would be mainly iron.
20:23The crust, I'm leaning at the moment towards B, aluminium.
20:33Don't think it's magnesium.
20:35Don't think it's calcium.
20:39No.
20:42I'd like to lock in B, aluminium, please.
20:45Lock in B, aluminium.
20:47What led you to B?
20:48Uh, I think I've seen or read about this.
20:55It's B, aluminium.
21:04Wow.
21:07We are playing for $100,000.
21:14Uh, unfortunately, Brett, Liz, you won't get a chance to come to the chair.
21:20This is our final question.
21:22Remind me as a pass, I reckon.
21:27Final question of the night, and here it is.
21:29Best of luck, Dennis.
21:33The Wright Brothers' historic first powered flight took place in which U.S. state?
21:39A, Illinois.
21:41B, North Carolina.
21:43C, Idaho.
21:45D, Nebraska.
21:52I was waiting for Iowa to come up.
21:56It's not there.
21:58It's not there.
22:06Um, 25 seconds.
22:08Yeah.
22:09I think I was expecting Iowa, so I think I've got an eye in my head.
22:17There's two there.
22:18Might be C, Idaho.
22:2110 seconds.
22:23Okay, I'm going to lock in C, Idaho, please.
22:25Lock in C, Idaho.
22:29The Wright Brothers' historic first powered flight took place in which U.S. state?
22:34Dennis.
22:36It wasn't A, Illinois.
22:40And it wasn't D, Nebraska.
22:46It was, however, B, North Carolina.
22:511903 flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina lasted just 12 seconds.
22:54It marked the dawn of the aviation age.
22:57Dennis, you were so close.
22:58I'm so sorry.
22:59But you don't go home empty-handed.
23:01You still take away the $1,000.
23:04Something's a bad.
23:05Brett, Liz, didn't make it into the hot seat, but maybe next time.
23:09And we will see you next time on Millionaire Hot Seat.
23:13Good night.
23:14Good night.
