At least it was won.
); TU2 was, but I really can't fault them for that particular puzzle. Stick to meta puzzles like these and not things like "TELL ME WHERE I'M GOING PAT". R1 was also themed, but at least it was short.
At least it's been a while since the last one, but the trend of using words like VICTORY, WIN, FINISH, etc. in time for Speed-Ups is just as annoying as themed Toss-Ups.
