| ⬥ C: Citizen Kane | ⬥ D: Henry Chinaski |
| Petteri did not have a clue, so he asked three of the audience. Lauri (from Helsinki) said he does not know the right answer, but said it cannot be C: Citizen Kane. This was the only time during the season when one of the three chosen ones did not say what he/she would pick. Hanne (from Vihti) said it could be A: Holden Caulfield, but said she was not sure. Sami (from Espoo) had a hunch the answer could be D: Henry Chinaski, but was not sure. Sami also thanked his mother-in-law who was taking care of Sami's children and dogs at home, so Sami could come to see the show with his son and wife.
Then Petteri phoned his friend Ville Sirviö. Ville said the answer is probably A: Holden Caulfield, and at least the answer is not C: Citizen Kane. Petteri went with Ville and chose A: Holden Caulfield. Since the answer was wrong, Petteri walked away with nothing. The question was criticized in the social media as being too difficult at this point of the game. |
