Notes

For the first We'll Wait, You Tell Us, the listener contestant chose Roxanne Roberts' answer, but Charlie Pierce's answer was correct.

For the second We'll Wait, You Tell Us, the listener contestant chose Roxanne's answer, but Adam Felber's answer was correct.

This is the first show to feature the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank segment with the rules that still are used. Roxanne had used a bonus phrase that was brought up later in the show for one of her answers and got a bonus point.
