One of the smartest contestants on the show. If only the audience who did not know the answer refrain from guessing. Yes, indeed it's painful to see her losing the huge amount. God bless you, Joann!
What happened can't be changed. But when I saw this contestant, I was thinking that we might actually see a $500K or possibly $1 million question. She absolutely cruised through the first ten questions. Watching her get that question wrong was painful.
Given that in recent times the audience has failed when 70% (or thereabouts) have voted for the wrong answer in round one, you'd think that one would take a first past the post vote of 43% in round 2 with a grain of salt. It would be fair for Joann to say "$25,000 is more than I came with so I'll trust the audience and say A" if she had no lifelines left, but she still had a powerful (especially to her since she'd be bright enough to know one or two $500k questions) jump the question lifeline!
Yeah, the thing is if she answered the 250K question right she would've been able to jump the 500K & see the million for a $225,000 risk instead of a $475,000 risk. Then again, the best option was to jump and keep the audience for one of the two remaining questions. If she jumped, she would gain $431,400 dollars and only risk $43,600 on the $500K question. Risking 1/10th of her gain on the million approx.

She answered every question like Jamal Malik did in Slumdog Millionaire, except we didn't see her flashbacks.
She may be one of the 1990-91 teen tournament semifinalists on Jeopardy in the tournament won by Andy Westney.
She was the only player to not use a lifeline in Round 1 in the shuffle format. It's a shame she didn't have more than $25,000 to show for that.

You can tell she's a very positive, spiritual person with lots of positive vibes.
Mr. Bingley looks like the "Diabeetus Cat."
B RIGHT
Maybe Betelgeuse is more familiar to today's audiences than to those of twelve years ago.
Joann is the third contestant this season to get the $250,000 question wrong.

@teamguido555 Nah, I think she's smart. We need smart, gutsy players like her more often on Millionaire. :)
