I know that Play-Doh, like Silly Putty, was originally used in the fields of carpentry and such. So that easily narrows my choices to B or D. Double Dip.

NFC®. Once again, I'll be hoping for the best with the audience and Terry (or Campbell). If they're inconclusive, I'm walking with $100K again.

Funny thing about that...in the intro Meredith mentioned that Olivia had been alone on her first show but that her best friend had flown in from Utah to be with her for the second show (indicating some time lag between the two?). When Mere asked what Olivia was going to do with the money she said, "Get (whatever her friend's name was) a boob job." There was quite a bit of banter regarding this, with Mere finally concluding that she'd like one, too, if Olivia had any money left over. Olivia also made it clear that she and her friend were just that, nothing more (NTTAWWT).

elwing was watching the show with me and she said, "Sounds like Mark Twain", to which I replied, "Yeah, it does, but I think it's Thoreau." Since I've used my DD, might as well ATE to see if the expert can help. This week, BTW, the expert is Campbell Brown.

Get (whatever her friend's name was)

In a NY paper article referenced earlier friend was actress Laura Johnson I did not see the show was this her friend?

Could be if she had a lot of plastic surgery since the taping.
