Falco was definitely borderline. It didn't effect the outcome however.

The Muslim question still bugs me. That was a great stumper if we phrased it better.

Falco was borderline on many levels.

Carl, I liked the Muslim question. All 3 were rappers, so how else could you have phrased it? Other than "Which white rapper...", but there are only two.
