Marlin and Nemo (who are both clownfish orange with black and white stripes) were eliminated by the 50-50, leaving just Dory and Bubbles. Thankfully, Huxley picked Dory. He wound up with £125,000 (about $175,000) in winnings.

Huxley's incredibly long journey to an easy answer was not the only weird incident on the U.K. Millionaire this week. Contestant Ray Mann experienced a true blunder that even involved Clarkson himself. Mann got the question "In which of these films does Meryl Streep play a wholly fictional character and not one based on a real person?" The options were Out of Africa, The Hours, The Post, and Suffragette. Mann knew Out of Africa and Suffragette weren't the answers, but he was on the fence about the other two. He called a friend, who couldn't help, then chose the 50/50 lifeline, which still left him with The Post and The Hours.

Mann then picked the "Ask The Host" lifeline, which put Clarkson on the spot. Clarkson "loathed Meryl Streep films," but he was sure The Post was "a real-life film with real-life people," notes The Sun. "It's your £31,000 but if I were sitting there I would definitely take a punt on The Post, and that is my final answer." However, Clarkson ruined the moment because he misunderstood the question! Ray realized this as well, so he picked The Hours. This was the correct answer.

"WHAT IDIOT DOESN'T KNOW THAT DORY IS BLUE, GIVE ME STRENGTH!!!!!" one person wrote about Huxley's blunder. "He doesn't know which character is blue in Finding Dory but he knew the answer to the Mark Ronson question. Crazy scenes," another viewer wrote.

"The man who didn't know Dory was blue is now on 6 figures!! What a fever dream lol," one shocked viewer wrote. "Is this a parody show? Who doesn't know Dory? Dodgy actor," another wrote, suggesting the contestant was an actor.
