During the first episode, a controversy occurred on one of the questions, the answer to which was John Glenn. Christina Garner initially said "Glenn", then began debating aloud, "Glenn somebody...somebody Glenn" before offering the answer "Glenn Armstrong." In her post-game interview, she claimed she thought Glenn was a sufficient enough answer (as it is common for game shows to accept only a surname as a correct answer), but when she did not get a response, she gave a different answer. Since this was considered a second consecutive miss, her winnings were halved and she left with $10,000.
