And Debbie noted that she trusted Claudia's answer on this question because Claudia is from
"south of the border". Ouch!

As I watched this while transcribing, I got momentarily freaked out because the choice I was looking for, Belize, didn't show up (I was just in Belize and had been reminded while there it was a former British colony).

And then, of course, after 5 seconds, I reminded myself, "Belize is in CENTRAL America, you big dope!"

Wonder if I had been in the Hot Seat when this came up whether or not that would have freaked me out.

Otherwise, no real issues- the $5K I never heard of, but hopefully would have reasoned out.
