Fellow players,

In another bounce-back, Shani Naylor's melancholy/gay musical piece (def. #8), which received five votes, earns her the next deal. She was tied with John Barrs (Creole potatoes, def. #1) on points, but two of his came from voting for the correct definition (#5). He was the only player to vote for it, and is the traditional "winnah."

Should anyone be curious, a tatouay looks like this:

Looks like an artist's version of an armadillo, made out of old car parts.
