This is another topic discussing how you would play your lifelines. There's already a topic about how you should play the 50:50 and Ask the audience, but now let's take the 50:50 and factor in the phone a friend. (or in today's game, the +1)
In your opinion, would you play the lifelines in a specific order, or does it even matter for these two lifelines?
Personally, I don't think it really makes a significant difference but I do think it's smarter to Phone a Friend/+1 first. The reason being is that if you phone a friend/+1 and they don't know the answer, at least the 50:50 hasn't been burned yet so it gives you a couple of options, especially if you were already at one of the safe havens. If you were at those safe havens, then you could guess freely and either try to get more help from the 50:50, or try to save it for later.
If you used the 50:50 first and then the phone a friend/+1 and they didn't know it, then both lifelines have basically been rendered useless unless you have an idea as to what the answer is after using the 50:50.
