Whitney was such a great player this episode, with the puzzle-solving skills (I was also stumped on TU3 and R4) and the true guts to go for the $10,000!
Did we go back to 1999? We need more puzzles like that, not more bonus round playings where the contestant gets it too late. I knew it with just RSTLNE, and I really thought she had it with her picks given how great a player she was. Turns out that CDMA would have blown it wide open for her.
