My section of the audience got ATA camera time!

Only thing is, I don't think it was actually camera time for his ATA. At the end of the episode, when they retaped some of the questions Meredith flubbed for pronunciation problems and so forth, they also had the audience retape an ATA segment. They didn't even bother to redisplay the question for us; they just said to hold the remotes up and press any button we felt like pressing.
