Answer

Meredith said that the entire audience was shocked by that answer, but I suspect that wasn't true for the 9% who voted for it, even after Mackenzie decisively eliminated it from consideration.

Mackenzie jumps the question.

Answer/Value/Bank

C: Dr. Oz

This is a nightmare question for me. It seems "safe" to eliminate Dr. Phil, Judge Judy, and Barbara Walters based on their schedules, but how do I know that for sure? I know nothing about Dr. Oz. JTQ.

ABC showed a documentary mini-series last summer, N.Y.Med, featuring the doctors at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, including heart surgeon Dr. Oz. That's the only way you'd know this answer.
