OK, after two weeks, she's back. Meredith said that she had been in the Hot Seat "yesterday".

And a good thing, too. Since the French Open just concluded there was a lot of coverage about Federer and his arch-rival Nidal, so I knew this one. Had I been in the HS when this was taped (presumably months ago) I don't know if I'd have been so sure. I might have used 50/50 here, and if B and D were the two remaining answers it would be time to PAF.

Okay to $25K, then ATA. (Hey, I rhymed!)

Must have been frustrating for her to have her hot seat appearances broadcast so far apart. OTOH, it could have been a VERY long broadcast party!
