#note This was my favorite bingo of the tournament, just because it doesn't look like a bingo lane. I find that when two words look similar, I'm more likely to miss one of them. Here, I had never considered that VILLAIN + N = VANILLIN. When it popped out at me after a few minutes, I was stunned.
>Steve_P: DKUU 11J KUDU +24 133
>Carl: INNOORT 11E NONI +21 112
#note Sim winner here is TOON E2. I wouldn't have thought that ORT would be 5 points better than INR. Also worth considering: E5 and F2 are bigger hotspots than anything on row 11. (-3)

#note I saw TOTEM right after I hit my clock. Oops! (-5)
>Steve_P: ABMO 13A BOMA +30 269
>Steve_P: ABMO -- -30 239
>Carl: CEEISTZ N8 .EZ +32 209
#note Quackle really hates this play, opting for COZIE C11, ZESTER E3, or ZED J6. I don't really understand why, maybe CEIST bingos more easily through the L than to the D. (-9)
>Steve_P: ABMO 13B OM +20 259
>Carl: CEGISST 14A GIS +23 232
#note A close decision between this, GIST, and GEMOTS, all of which I considered. GIST wins the sim. (-3)

>Carl: CCEIPQS 12I CEP +18 296
#note My reasoning here is that Steve probably has a blank by now, and maybe has had one for a while. In any event, he's more likely to hit a bingo first now that I've draw the Q. So I thought I'd take out the most likely lane and hope he doesn't have anything on Column O. Quackle plays QIS 3I (-6?)
