Catching up on some Tivo'd Millionaires, I hit the Walk-In-And-Win show where a contestant got a question about the frequency of leap years wrong and consequently left with $0. And that got me to wondering what other questions have resulted in contestants leaving with nothing. Does anyone have a list?
Related: In Googling to try to find such a list, I couldn't even find any transcript web sites. I know someone used to maintain such a site, with complete question transcripts of all Regis and Meredith shows. But Google doesn't know about it. Is it gone? Anyone have an old URL, so I can query the Wayback Machine?

One question I can think of....
What sport does Lisa Leslie play?
Contestant used a couple of lifelines, and still got it wrong, saying volleyball. The correct answer is (duh) basketball.

As far as the prime time shows, trying using Google Groups to search alt.tv.game-shows. I'm sure all the "llamas" and their questions are chronicled there. The syndicated shows were never recapped on ATGS.

That's the site I was thinking of, Tim. Thanks for the link. Sadly, the transcripts don't seem to use any consistent marker that I can search on ("llama", "$0", etc) to detect such questions. I'd have to manually read through all the transcripts.
I'm curious, but not that curious.

I seem to remember someone on Meredith's show bombing out on a question regarding Frank Sinatra's "New York New York" song.
And please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I know there was a question about how much vowels cost on Wheel - didn't someone bomb on that too?

Yep. She said vowels cost $100 instead of $250. And some argue, since the Bob Goen WoF gave away $100 vowels, that she should be brought back.

Yeah, that was a bit ambiguous I thought though the question itself might've been worded a bit more exact as far as the host goes. Pat Sajak(& Chuck Woolery in the 1970's)=$250, Bob Goen=$100.

She was brought back during zero dollar winners week and won $250K IIRC.
