That's near Hartford, so a borderline WE®.

I'm nihil obstat® on the first nine, but I believe that Diane will be one and done® on the next show.

I've watched A and B so knew it wasn't either of those. It might be possible for the answer to be D but at this level I'd have gone with C. As I recall, a ventriloquist won that competition (and was the subject of a BAM question last season).

It's about what I figured - it's not a word many people are familiar with.

I groaned. But on the bright side, it was a nihil obstat® stack thus far.
