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.
