All three contestants messed up. The lady in third place got the question wrong, but would have won if she had bet nothing. The woman in second place knew the answer, but spelled his name wrong (you can spell a name wrong so long as what you write would be pronounced the same way as the correct answer). The leader wrote the correct answer, but crossed it out and wrote something else. He won anyway, but got very little money.
