Fellow players,

Pinta is the skin disease of Definition 12. Rather than go into detail here, I recommend this site <https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/pinta/> for those who want more information. If you do, I sincerely hope you are only motivated by curiosity.

The deal bounces back to Shani Naylor, whose respected Filipina got six votes giving her a score of 8. David Cunningham was runner-up and traditional "winnah." His painted cow also got six votes, but he didn't vote for the skin disease. He would have lost the rolling-score tie-breaker even if he had, so that didn't affect the next deal.
