Player #1 today, and a victim of TDC. He was going fast, trying to save up time, and didn't take the time to think this one through completely. Not obvious from a transcript, but clear in the video. A definite "oh crap" moment when he'd realized what he'd done.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Yay! An actual expert!

Didn't help, Joe, though... he's the latest victim of TDC®.

Nihil obstat® for me.

I can understand why he related the term micrografting to skin, and agree with more time he may have realized that it really meant hair replacement. But he may not have... micro (microdermabrasion) and grafting (skin grafts) are much more common words relating to compexion... I guessed correctly but as is evidenced by the time of this post, I've seen the infomercials... lol.

But still... TDC. Fie!

If he's got a (or many) girlfriend(s), what does his reputation matter? Sounds like it's good enough already.

From all the mudslinging that was done, I'd say D was more than just a gag answer.

"Grafting" is the act of adding something, so it's not going to be A or D. It might be C but only if they are adding skin to fill out the wrinkles.

Yes, but since the question pertains to "reversal of," it well could have been a dental cosmetic procedure to reverse the effects of teeth grinding (ie. adding filler).
