Daytona Beach’s Ryan Lochte and fellow Olympic swimmer Dara Torres decided to rely on the audience in playing “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
Bad move. Most of the audience was incorrect when the topic was “The Brady Bunch.”
Here’s the question, the fifth the swimmers faced: “If the opening credits of ‘The Brady Bunch’ were a tic-tac-toe board, which of these groupings would make a winning combination?”
A: Jan, Alice, Peter
B: Marcia, Alice, Peter
C: Cindy, Alice, Mr. Brady
D: Greg, Alice, Jan
Forty-three percent said C, and 34 percent said A. The swimmers went with C, but A was correct. Lochte and Torres were hoping to win $1 million for the U.S. Olympic Committee; instead, they left with a guaranteed $10,000.
Gymnasts Dominique Dawes and Jonathan Horton did better by winning $25,000 for the USOC.
“Millionaire” airs at 10 a.m. weekdays on WFTV-Channel 9.
