(It's almost obligatory at this point that every episode has to have at least one Bankrupt hit that claims nothing)
I should take notes next season of where each round's first spin ends up from both men and women. Most men are around a full rotation (so most Bankrupt-starters from men are next to top dollar) while most women's first spins are around the MDW area (so many women's first Bankrupts are on the MDW and even weaker spinners hit the one by $650, especially last week).
I knew she was going to fall for the "starts with a vowel" trap, but she had some good picks. A non-$30K loss, so watch the next win be $30K. 
" Well, that's one attempt on WOF of trying to "fit in" on the same day Jeopardy! uses a play on the word "selfie". The staff must have appreciated that, but it didn't really work.
