She tried TEED UP and KEEP, but she wasn't BEEFED UP enough to win...
...the cash. But she does have $3,300 and will return on Monday to defend her championship!
WoF Fax
1: R4's puzzle (DOCTOR FEELGOOD) is titled Fictional Character instead of Title. It is also misspelled (should be DR.)
2: When Vanna reveals RSTLNE, there's a jump cut to Barbara.
MY REVIEW: Solid game, but low scoring. Lots of duds, Bankrupts, and LaTs, so this'll get a 5/10. I'll return with more spinning and winning!
