OK, first off, Shaun cost Tamara a lot of time because of the slowness of her reading of the answers. Just to illustrate, as a transcriber I generally have to stop the DVR to catch the answers after Meredith reads them. But with Shaun I could type them as she read them. If Tamara hadn't managed to get the answer in time I wonder if she could have protested Shaun's s-l-o-w r-e-a-d-i-n-g and be given another chance.

Shaun says she wants to get back to the game so she can give Tamara the money as quickly as possible.

THEN READ THE ANSWERS MORE QUICKLY, SHAUN!!!!!!

A fairly demanding question, under the pressure of TDC, since you need to run through the full list of the signs of the zodiac and match up the proper sign with when it falls on the calendar.
