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.

ATA for me. Would have said the same thing that he did.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

OK up to the last question (yes, I got the math one right-it should be on 5th Grader!)

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.
I'm just a game show nerd.

You're right kazoo, there is no Cadillac at the London location.

I was there in 1972 and it was one of the coolest spots in London, mainly because they had ice cubes in their Cokes.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.
