Second Place: Faces of Defeat

Slip of the Tongue
"It was a tie and the word I got wrong was 'bungalow', b-u-n-g-a-l-o-w. But I spelt it b-u-n-g-a-l-o. I'm going to remember that for a really long time. Then I got 'galore'. I was so proud of myself, but also kind of sad because just one word knocked me out".
