Antonio Esfandiari can't seem to really do anything wrong here in the $25,000 Challenge at the 2013 Aussie Millions. He's currently at the top of the leader board and just won his fourth game of "Lodden Thinks" in a row.
On this round of the guessing game, Esfandiari asked our reporter a very unique question: How many bananas does our reporter think Joe Hachem could eat in two hours if he's getting paid $10,000 per banana he eats?
After a minute or two of thought, our reporter locked in his number and the bidding began. After some back and forth between Esfandiari and Jeff Rossiter, who was bidding for the table, Esfandiari said, "20."
"Buy," said Rossiter.
Esfandiari then asked our reporter for his number, and the number was revealed at 20.
"Ship it!" yelled Esfandiari with another big smile on his face as he had won again.
