I didn't see it the first time it aired nor did I read any threads on it , but damn , Show even had to do the JOB to Anne Robinson(sp) . Jobber 4 life I reckon , at least he had the best exit .
Is Booker T really as dumb as he looked ?
And was it a work or what with the Steph/3H showdown , a foreshadowing of their split .
It was pretty entertaining though , work or not .

I think it was more like Booker T getting questions he couldn't answer.
Some people in the show get lucky or unlucky that way. Levar Burton on hit way to winning $167,000 got some specific questions about French cuisine. I cringed, not knowing he was an expert on it.
It seemed like to me that Regal was kind of getting lobbed some soft balls ?
What was up with Angle on that Eddie Bauer question , he had that deer in the headlight look and took forever just to give a wrong answer . I felt bad for my boy .

And Book also proved his complete dimwittedness by answering the question "Which French word means "again" and is usually said after a musical performance" with "Uh, I dunno...oui oui?"
I loved when Stuttering John on Howard Stern interviewed him a little while later, under the pretense of 'clearing his name', and proceded to make him look like even more of an idiot.
That being said, I do feel bad for the guy. Wrestlers in the mainstream are not exactly reknowned for their intelligence, and to be the "dumb wrestler" on a show with as wide an audience as Weakest Link is like being known as the "really gay guy" in the Village People.
There's no defending Booker T, but let me try to defend Kurt and Trish.
As far as Angle goes, I can easily see how a wrestler who is on the road all the time might get a question wrong about commercials or things like that. They don't have the free time we do. I didn't know the answer to that question either, and I do have the free time!
And I bet if you took a random sampling of Americans [much less Canadians] around Trish's age you would find that few of them knew about Nixon and "I am not a crook." I was 2 years old when Nixon left the White House, and I'm almost 30. The average twenty-something probably wouldn't have any reason to know that quote unless they were a history buff, because I don't think it's really part of the popular culture anymore, and really hasn't been for at least 20 years.
I can understand what you are saying with people like HBK and Foley. But HHH is married to his daughter so calling him Hunter all the time (or King of Kings) would be kind of weird.
