Caption
  • From the 9 remaining contestants, 3 got it right, but Hugh was the fastest to correctly answer C-D-A-B, making it into the Hot Seat.
  • Hugh had no clue, so he decided to use his 50:50, eliminating C and D. He considered the 50:50 did not help, and believed no one on his phone-a-friend list would know it. After stating that he was leaning towards A, he decided to walk away with £8,000. The correct answer was indeed A: Chevening House.
