Military could be an iffy subject for me. Dogs and artists could also pose problems. And who knows what kind of questions could be hiding in the seemingly inocuous categories of famous women and Abe Lincoln.

But so far so good on the first six.

She's a former WE® and has a celebrity hook as well.

Nihil obstat® so far.

First a Lord of the Rings question and then a shout-out to my cousin Bob! Meredith would have been puzzled why I suddenly burst out laughing at this one!

The Press-Register has two articles about Marie's appearance. The first is a "breaking news" item from last night, the second is a longer piece from this morning.

Spoiler Warning: Both articles mention the first question and answer she'll face on today's episode.

I don't recall if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but there's one more thing I don't like about the new show format. Now that the "on deck" contestant is sitting in the audience section behind the Hot Seat, we only get to see her back while she does her walk-on. It was better when contestants faced the camera, walking through the archway.

Maybe the camera man with the portable camera needs to walk around to the other side of the set, to get the right angle for the shot? (But he's busy trying to get one shot after the other, the first contestant's walk-off and then the second's walk-on.)

They should get rid of showing the walk-on/offs entirely.

How about a combo Russian Roulette Game Show exit/Austin Powers type of thing for the departing contestant?

They won't. They need to fill time to stretch out the 30 minutes.
