None of our spinners are particularly strong, so it looks like we'll see a lot of different wedges during the course of the maingame. Unfortunately, Jason's $2,500 hit goes to waste and Audrey compiles only a couple grand (at least that's over the house minimum).
(I'll eat my hat if the next Same Name, Husband & Wife, or Family uses an ampersand)
Just the O alone would have been enough!
