Baker
Fiona is a Brit, a baker and an animal noise maker.

Fiona: I want more money for the monkey, Meredith.

Looks like I was wrong about her being one and done®. She was two and done.
I would've been in great shape once again, $25K banked and all four lifelines available.

But she didn't! She walked away.peacock2121 wrote:three words
crash and burn
Is anyone familiar with British television standards? Did Fiona get away with uttering a curse words that they would have bleeped on the British version of the show?
The $16K question would have been another Lyrically Speaking nightmare for me. Asking for just about the entire set of lyrics to the song? I'd have reached for the ATA in a heartbeat!

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

There's a line very similar to the correct response - "to be on your own" - which may be why Fiona was reluctant to pull the trigger. Good for her for making the attempt.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$16,000

I've heard cirrus clouds called "mare's tail", so it makes the most sense. Also "cirrus" is a name for a clump of hair cells.
So I'd be going for $50K with all my lifelines available.
