I was rather confused at her U call, and surprised that she didn't even buy the I, given the category. I have a feeling that she might've forgotten the category, or it was probably just nerves. On the other hand, great use of the Wild Card by Brandon, which in turn leads to a great round for him! And he gets to enjoy that Hawaii trip!
