Known for his daring gameplay style, Sharpe faced a challenging question about U.S. state capitals that ultimately led to his downfall in the episode. After making it to £64,000 and having a safety net of £32,000, he audaciously decided to risk it all on a particularly tough question: “Which of these is not the name of a U.S. state capital?”
