The audience is tied between Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. He then uses his 50:50 and it leaves Franklin along with Diana Ross. He then walks away because he wasn't sure enough, and it turned out the audience was right. Eric Molnar is next to try for $1,000,000. He gets up to $16,000 without a problem.
