He was called to be on the show last year, missed the call (called back a couple of days later and got put back in the pool) and as a result he banned Meredith from his household.
Meredith said it wasn't the show's fault. Mark explains his house was hit by lightning, he lost his phone and all kind of communication. He thought he would not be called again but was. So Meredith confirms no more grudge against her.

I've been to the original Hard Rock Cafe in London, and I don't remember seeing a Cadillac anywhere in the place! It was really LOUD-even thought it was Christmastime when I was there. My dad asked the waitress if she could still hear! ATA here.
