next two questions right to win ?3600. George Ford, born in 1993, is

guessing. This may or may not put a smile on our faces. We are going for

golf. You have one life left and if you lose it with this answer, the

contest is over. And so is the possibility of winning the ?3600.

on your own. Contestants, you came so close, you had such leeway. Seven

lives. Whether that smile off your face! I'm afraid that means you

leave with nothing. Congratulations, CJ. Good
