Chase Sampson, a college junior from Nashville, Tennessee, was a contestant on the U.S. version of the show on October 27, 2006 after answering his $100 question wrong and went home with nothing.
Meredith said before his run began that he had arrived at the show's location at 3 AM and hadn't slept since, Chase told her that he had "coffee flowing through the veins". The lack of sleep is perhaps the reason as to why he flunked the first question.
