The PP mattered for Ashlee to win, which doesn’t bode well for the BR as she selects from these generic categories…

• THING
• PHRASE
• PLACE

$100K Bonus Round

Ashlee’s husband Nate is in the audience.

SPIN: &

This could pose problems…

_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ R
T _ / _ S _

MDCO doesn’t add much…

_ _ _ C _ / _ _ _ O R
T O / _ S _

She’s way off w/ MATCH FOR TO USE. It was literally too much of a QUICK FAVOR TO ASK for her because she loses $40K.

MY RATING: 4.5 (too many penalties)
MY GRADE: F+
