30 Rockefeller Plaza is where Meredith works at her day job. You'd think New Yorkers, even from Staten Island, would have heard of it.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$2,000

I don't know why Meredith felt the need not to give their surnames. But thank you, jarnon, for finding them for us.[Transcriber's note: Akiyomi and Simone's last names are not displayed on screen. Meredith never mentions their last names and never holds up a Capital One check with the names on it.]
*sigh*... two New Yorkers have never heard of 30 Rockefeller Plaza?$2,000

<Sigh> A disastrous PAF call but they were saved by a lucky break on the 50/50. For me, it was a nihil obstat® stack.

Was there an official press release or something with their names in it?

Ah. Here--in the middle of a long column mostly talking about The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet 3-- is a blurb that mentions Akiyomi and Simone by their full names.

BTW, is anyone else curious how Akiyomi got his first name? It certainly sounds Japanese to me.

Nice geographic distinction there, Staten Island Live, but you're all still Where Else!After watching the first couple win $16,000, engaged Staten Islanders Akiyomi Fields and Simone McMurry (Akiyomi is technically from Brooklyn) got their chance in the hot seat on a special "Wedding Week" edition of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire."

Well now, that was a fairly weak effort.
Seemed like a pretty easy set of Q's to this point. I guess they don't watch much TV.
Good for them.
