Right now, seems to be doing OK so far. I rarely watch this program, was this some special "Olympic Athlete" edition?

Yes, she looked pretty good that night. During her diving I thought she had some potential but of course it's a bit harder to see how pretty she can be with the wet hair and no makeup.

Hey, did anyone notice that everyone was laughing because Gary Hall Jr sitting behind Regis was passing along hand/finger signals to the hot seat contestants if they didn't know the answer? Well, the Russian/US transplanted swimmer didn't know what the easy slope on a ski hill was (bunny slope) and the camera panned to Regis quickly enough to see Hall Jr holding up his hand with three fingers (for answer "C") and of course that's what it was.

When you read the ending credits it quickly passes by saying that "the contestants cannot help each other after the 16,000 question." Paraphrase mine. Since it's all for charity and the contestant 50-50 then I guess that they don't mind help under a certain amount but after 16,000 there are probably legal ramifications involved that only the contestant can determine the outcome of the contest without help from any others. I thought this was interesting.
