Well, the suspense over a D0 was ended with the first vote and ironically,
that voter is the next dealer, thanks to her ill-fated def attracting five
votes accompanied by the 2 votes for guessing correctly. Dodi can take
small comfort in the fact that she would be dealing even without the two
points for the correct def.
There were 2 players in coveted second place with 4 points
each: Tony Abell and Millie Morgan.
The true definition was 5: "To despise." (OED 2nd), which 2
perceptive players guessed.
So take it away, Dodi. You're on.
