    There was a reversal on the $800 clue in Let’s Get Married! when Marlan said “Something Borrowed, Something Blue.”

    Yesterday this was the first time the contestants didn’t bounce on the board.

    Marlan made veronica work for that victory and she came through after that near lock game. Congrats to her and to marlan on getting the final right. I do think the United Kingdom was a random guess on Alyssa s part VJ. But this was quite a Match, wouldn’t you agree?

    • VJ says:

      Yes, Lou, that was quite a competition there!!

      As I pointed out in the recap, the island was originally a British possession so that wasn’t a far off response by any means.
