Afterward, Terry mentioned Zagreb, Quito and Islamabad. Somebody who knows world capitals very well could figure it out, so it's not a true WWOQ, but I would never have expected the answer to be the most common letter in the alphabet. BTW, 25 years ago, there was a capital that began with E: East Berlin. Someday soon, I hope, there will be another one: East Jerusalem.

I watched part of this but was getting ready for a meeting so couldn't give it my full attention. Thanks, BB Transcript Team!

I am so lucky on this one. I have never seen and will never see The Notebook, but I have seen Hope Floats and Notting Hill, and I'm pretty sure that there was nobody named Allie in Brokeback Mountain.

"Mort" is "death", so it has to be "mortgage".

OK, Zagreb is the capital of Croatia, Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan and Quito is the capital of Ecuador. That only leaves "E", strange as it might seem.

She didn't. She jumped question 10.

[MarleysGh0st]

Terry Crews went on and on about how quickly Kate answered the questions, calling this a record-setting episode.

That made me wonder how many episodes Terry has watched over the years (not counting highlight reels put together for his benefit by TPTB). Certainly, he can't recall the era of TDC.
