Video: These women might be the worst gameshow contestants of all time

Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus... Thesaurus

Carl Kinsella

Do you know what a thesaurus is?

Christina and Tania, a mother-and-daughter team, blew the chance to make more than $100 when they failed to answer one of the most straightforward questions imaginable.

Host Eddie McGuire asked the restaurant-owners which of the following is not a dinosaur: brachiosaurus, stegosaurus, tyrannosaurus or thesaurus.

We feel safe in assuming that everyone in the English-speaking (and ancient Latin-speaking, for that matter) world knows the answer to this question, considering that the audience literally laughed upon hearing the word ‘thesaurus’.

Christina and Tania proved that their lack of dino-knowledge is matched only by their lack of deductive reasoning and decided to ‘Pass’ on the question. The host is clearly surprised, repeatedly asking the contestants if they’re sure they don’t want to guess.

God, how embarrassing. Still, at least it was a bit more dignified than this.
