[dougmorrisontheair]

Oil

[dougmorrisontheair]

Yes! OIL is right.









(ding; audience applause)

Spill

[dougmorrisontheair]

SPILL is right.









(ding; audience applause)

Nels, you're in excellent shape. $4000 and *six* spare letters on the last link. For $40,000, what is this final link starting with B?

[dougmorrisontheair]

I have to spill the beans. You just won $40,000!
