Left with A and C
“I Have to take the chance” Being a true gambler, Armand figures the odds are with him. Winnings in Vegas:

Final answer: A…”I’m so sorry…that you lost so much in Vegas.” BUT YOU’RE WINNING HERE!

Teasing from the hosts wasn’t in the class, either. Although Armand was sure, his other strategy “Don’t go with what you think it is”

$250,000

What 1955 film was the first winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s prestigious Palme d’Or Award?

Armand feels like this is a gimme. At $500K?!?! He’s so close to the Million he can taste it. Losing $218,000 would be an awful aftertaste. Armand A.K.A. “Joe Vegas” is making the bet…after another 15 seconds….He guesses A.

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

History is in the making, we’re on the verge of BACK-TO-BACK MILLIONAIRES! All that studying and hearing “What are you going to lose next” is about to end. Before today, Armand had dinner with previous Millionaire Nancy Christy. Her one advice “If you don’t know it, don’t guess”.

C: Blossom TimeD: Watch Your Step

Can’t even 50:50 himself. The gambler always says: Know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em. HE’S FOLDING!!

Had he guessed, Armand wouldn’t gone with D. Correct answer: B

At last, Armand has earned his reward. “Don’t be a quitter” (Well, except at the very end, maybe)

(The rest of this episode is replaying Nancy Christy’s last two questions.)
