George reads what's on the board...but he says "and" before the last word and gets buzzed. He is in disbelief.
Wendi reads all three words as they appear. This might be more difficult than reading the board; she needs to fill in the blank for 200 more.
Actually, that was easy enough. She says beach.
Will picking a prize be just as easy? Wendi has a look at a water garden pond package, a Zepter International skin care package, and a Gregory's collection of books and maps.
Wendi wants the skin care.
