So did the gals answer the questions right or not?

the show "insults and encourages insulting women."...

I would never encourage an insulting woman.

Neither would I, but I've insulted a few.

Robert Gibbs laughed this off telling the angry women to wait to see what the questions were before complaining.

From public radio’s “This American Life” #326, titled “Quiz Show”

Round III: Girls in Need of a Safer Time.

Robin Epstein talks about her old job, as producer and chief question writer on a game show for teen-age girls called Plugged In. It was one of the first shows to air on the Oxygen network, the TV channel for women created by Oprah Winfrey.

Robin had hoped that the show could serve as a role model for young women, showing smart teen girls answering tough questions. But in the end, it sort of did the opposite.
