No “microwave” food this time, but Mason knows he’ll have a THANKSGIVING DINNER like the rest of us for tomorrow.

Pick your MDBR topic wisely, Sophie

  • WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?

I knew she would choose WAYW?.


MILLION DOLLAR BONUS ROUND #2

After we get a shot of Sophie’s dad, she lands on the second A of AMERICA’S like Sarah from last night. Here’s the end letter(s) of each word…

_ _ _ N
_ _ _ _ E T

CKAM gives her most of the bottom…

_ _ _ N
_ A C K E T

but nothing on top and she’s wrong w/ JEAN JACKET, so this gets left behind in the pockets of a DOWN JACKET

…the keys to the red 2023 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2dr.
