Perhaps South Indians can never win in KBC – there would always a Q on Hindi tinseldom, a sitter for most Indians and certain doom for people like me not knowing anything about Hindi cinema. The first Q is generally very easy – and here the first two are sitters for Cine-goers, rest are also pretty easy !

The first revelation was howsoever simple be the Question, those who answer all the questions seeing TV might found them too nerve-crumbling when on the hot seat. When one is faced with the danger of losing money, one could miss out the obvious ordinary Q too. Here is something of such embarrassing moment that occurred to the Hot seat contestant in Australia who failed to answer the very easy first question. Offered easy question on jewellery, but instead picked an answer which was a famous Australian snack brand, Daily Mail reports that Whitney Beseler, as a physical education teacher and Contiki Tour manager is used to speaking and dealing with people from all walks of life. But when she appeared on Channel Nine's Hot Seat, it seems being in front of a national audience got the better of her. The blonde beauty, who was the first of six contestants to sit down face-to-face with host Eddie McGuire, ended up answering a rather obvious question wrong. The Q was pretty simple : it read : 'Which of these is not a piece of jewellery commonly worn to symbolise a relationship between two people?' Eddie asked Whitney. The four options were read out in front of her, Whitney nodded and considered each possibility. a) engagement ring; b) anniversary ring; c) wedding ring and d) burger ring, the last option is a famous Australian brand of chips - it appeared quite easy to identify the correct answer through a swift process of elimination. After hesitating and letting out a small giggle, Whitney said 'uh... ooh I think I'm going to go with B on that one Eddie, the anniversary ring'. Astounded himself by Whitney's certainty, the show's Eddie McGuire asked the contestant to 'have another look' at the options. Looking up at the host she looked quite confident with her answer, flashing a friendly smile for the cameras as all eyes were on her.
When she chose the anniversary
ring option again, he had no choice but to lock in her final answer. Oblivious
of why audience members were giggling in the background, Whitney soon after realised
her mistake when Eddie repeated the question again. 'Oh my god Eddie that's the most embarrassing
thing that's ever happened to me,' she finally exclaimed, with still a wide
smile on her face and taking the loss in good spirits. 'Can we cut and start
again?' she then pleaded with Eddie, but he said 'that's why it's called the
Hot Seat' and unfortunately the game was over for her.
Never
ridicule her ……. On the podium –most obvious thing can slip !!!
