I thought it was unfortunate (though probably not intentional) for Meredith to comment on this question, referring back to Bethany's previous statement that she was a Christian. Only one of the four choices had anything to do with Christ, so Meredith could be viewed as steering the contestant toward the correct answer. I doubt that the contestant needed the help in this case, but if Standards and Practices ever thinks that Meredith is providing too much help, they might decide to throw out the question.

This was one of the shows I watched when I auditioned at the beginning of September. The other 2 shows were aired nearly a month ago. I've been trying to figure out why they would pull this one out of the sequence.

Well, that was my initial assumption when I first realized it hadn't aired, but

the $250k win a couple of weeks ago blew that theory

Was that one split over 2 shows? This one was easy to shoehorn in somewhere, fitting into a single episode as it did.
