I thought his spin power was favorable for the rest of the round. I didn't think he'd spin hard enough to go to the Bankrupt.
Same for Valerie on $2500 in R1. Though at least we got some applause for the prize and I was really glad that they didn't stay silent for the MDW. However, hardly anyone showed any sympathy for those two bad Bankrupts. 
Also, why was Pat telling them to be quiet during R1? They already were. Don't "encourage" them, Pat. >_> Tomorrow's taping session HAS to be better.
. Too bad for Tim and we won't see the Million Dollar tonight. As for Braden, he should've spun, but at least he knew it was a prize puzzle. I didn't get the puzzle though.
