Jason Sadler of iWearYourShirt.com played this week and won. He got the first two questions correct. He didn’t know the third, but all he needed was 2 out of three. He was playing as a fill in for his t-shirt buddy, Evan White. If you remember last week’s Pop Culture IQ, Evan failed so miserably during that was invited back this week but was unable to play at the last minute due to “pre-hab” on his soon to be surgically repaired leg that he messed up while sky diving.
Jason, who was wearing a t-shirt for Jason Hamlin, a man trying to raise awareness for kidney disease and to get a new kidney himself, won a DVD of the TV series My So-Called Lifecourtesy of Shout! Factory.

Evan White of IWearYourShirt.com was this week’s contestant and he barely got one correct. Barely, because he eventually got the third question right after receiving a hint. His performance was so poor, Shawn Amos insisted that Evan return for another try next week. It wasn’t clear whether Shawn wanted Evan to return for his own amusement or to give him a chance to redeem himself. Either way, Evan will have a second chance on next week’s show.
