It's good to be back home... 
And that IS the first time someone called a consonant in the Final Spin AFTER that beeper! Can you believe that? 
I'm afraid we'll lose our perfecto hopes because of this...
We definitely got lucky on Tuesday (with that QU- starter). And yes, I still remember HOT WAX from S26 that gave us a $100K loss on the 5,000th episode! Very tough break for the Schochs.
