  1. Toss-Ups: Poor Mark missing out on the sweep thanks to that #2 error.

    Round 1: Great round for Mark! A nice way to redeem himself after Toss-Up #2.

    Round 2: I think this puzzle was really sexist. And by the way, Kristin's J call made no sense. Also, Tiffany should've spun again for those Y's.

    Round 3: Another nice round for Mark!

    Round 4: Good way for Kristin to redeem herself. I got this when she got it.

    Bonus Round: How come the easiest BR puzzles get the biggest wins? Anyway, nice grand prize win by Mark!

    Rating: 10/10!
