B: Wendy's ()

Visualizing the logos I couldn't see any words associated with any of them but Wendy's. Still, "recipe" seems to lead to KFC (because of its "secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices"). I'd have gone for Wendy's but with solme trepidation.

Justin's appearance got mentioned in the fifth item of this column.

He and his wife, Colette, put some of the money into savings and used the rest to take a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean to celebrate their year anniversary, which was Jan. 2.

They must have put the cruise on a credit card, since the check won't come for another month.

Here's a longer article about Justin's appearance.

Razey said he doesn’t watch the game show often, but he decided to send in an audition video after randomly accessing the show’s website. Producers were looking for contestants. He answered some test questions via his home computer webcam and submitted his entry.

Webcam? A misunderstanding by the reporter, I presume.

Razey will be eligible to try the game show again in a year. He said he doesn’t plan to make a career out of competing on game shows, and he doesn’t think he’d want to try a show like Jeopardy.

“I’m a fan of the multiple choice,” he said. But he might give “Who Wants to Be A Millionaire” another shot, he said.

Too bad for him that's against the rules, unless TPTB decides to do a special week with returning $5K winners.
