The question writers were very lenient by giving only one choice that had the fork on a different side of the plate from the knife and spoon. Otherwise, this might have been a 50/50 question for many contestants.

In previous seasons, we'd have known if this was supposed to be an obvious answer by its value. Aside from taking that approach, does anyone (outside of Bored Georgians, perhaps) recall hearing about this election?

Etiquette questions being among my least favorite, I didn't notice on first glance that three of the answers had the cutlery doing an Ortiz shift (or the other one). Jason Carter is a new name for me.

I'm pretty Meredith was wearing the same outfit on the Tuesday and Wednesday shows.

Animated species my ass!!! Although I am certainly more animated than this cardboard cutout playing this goofy game! Maybe they ought to pour some water on the floor and turn the thermostat down. Maybe then he will look a little more lively!

And WHAT THE HELL did they do to WWTBAM anyway??? Bad enough they have to have two bit chump celebrities playing two weeks into the new season but the format doesn't even make a lick of a sense.

And if they wanted a REAL celebrity they could have had the good sense to ask me! Probably that damned moose's fault.
