Scary moments

-In the opening Toss-Up…

_ U _ D Y

FUDDY DUDDY, Linda?! No way. -__-

-In the Mystery Round…

L E M O N A D E
S T A N D –
_ _ / _ O M E D _

–Katherine blows the last word with COMEDIAN, resulting in a $2K house minimum solve by Linda.

-In the Speed-Up, R & K and J & J both try to call a letter during their thinking times (T for the former and H for the latter). This might be the first time that’s happened more than once in a Speed-Up.

BR categories: PLACE/THING/EVENT

Oh, come on, not again. -___-

$100K Bonus Round: Despite a good letter combo and having the WC, R & K STILL DON’T collect $40K from this VINTAGE HANDBAG. Even with that category pick, there’s no excuse for this one to be lost. -___-
