21 is a winner in blackjack, and 777 on a slot machine, but I don't know what game uses 88.

I watched this one. Holy cow, she was nervous. Hope she overcomes it by the next taping.

So far, so good.

Aurora is about 20 miles north of here -- not Where Else territory. I seriously hope Terry Crews does his job as host and actually talks with her before she walks away on tomorrow's episode, so that we actually learn something about her.

Q1: I 1st heard the words "portmanteau word" used by a jerk, using it to deride a term I'd used for something. Not on this board; maybe 40 years ago. Yeah, I had made it up, but everybody knew what I meant when I used it, & there was no need for derision. I'm surprised, with the dummying down of Qs lately, that the writers didn't actually define "portmanteau" inside the Q.

So far so good.
