And the answer almost became E: Llama.

$8K: I thought it was either Canada or Australia. But I would've asked the audience anyway, then gone with the right choice.

Elizabeth had an "Aha!" moment when Chris told her it was an elephant. After that she seemed rather flustered.

I broke out in song when I saw this question - from "Fiddler on the Roof".

FWIW...Meredith asked about the site for their wedding and they told her it was a "destination wedding" to be held in Traverse City, MI because both of them have "history" there. Meredith announced that a limousine service was providing them with a "party bus" that included a wet bar, two flat-screen plasma TVs and a karaoke machine.

Here's an article about Chris and Elizabeth:

Spoiler
Bowker could not believe his luck when they were finally chosen to go to New York for the “Millionaire” taping.

“My fiancée, Elizabeth, is very savvy with our wedding planning. She saw on the Brides.com Web site that “Millionaire” was holding auditions for wedding-themed episodes. When she suggested we go to the auditions, I just thought it would be a fun adventure,” Bowker said.

At 4 a.m. the young couple left for a day of waiting with crowds at Medieval Times in Schaumberg, Ill., who were also trying out for the wedding episodes, plus others who were auditioning for a movie-themed “Millionaire. After a long wait (in the rain) they got their chance at an interview with one of the producers.

“Most people before us were only interviewed for two minutes, so I was surprised when we were interviewed for over 10 minutes. Then we were asked to step aside and meet the head producer,” Bowker said. A week later the couple got a phone call to be show contestants in New York.
Ten minutes plus a second interview is definitely a winning audition.

Spoiler Warning: The bottom of the article reveals what the first question and answer will be for them on today's episode.


Edit: TinyURLed the link from the Quad City Times.
