    I don’t miss Mattea in the least. These contestants aren’t just like they’re reading off flash cards. Nor, do they seem like they’re afraid of winning any money.

    I got FJ after thinking for 5-7 seconds. I got, as usual, about half of the TS.

      That’s always been okay, Smudge. As long as the misspelling doesn’t change the pronunciation or add an extra syllable, it’s acceptable.
