I would’ve done “degree” if the clue was College \_\_\_\_\_. The thought of specific institutions never even crossed my mind. ---

And, just like that, all the panelists’ answers are in! So, **cmkeller** , please give us your answer to your round 1 question: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ STREET. ---

Well, I was considering both “Main” and “Wall”, but knowing the SDMB crowd as I do, I think I’ll go with… SESAME Street. ---

I think you’ll be pleased with that choice! Let’s see what the panelists had to say: **HardlySanguine** : Sesame Street, so that’s 1 for **cmkeller**. **MeanOldLady** : easy street, no match there … and, oh, now she’s making a rude gesture at the guy on the buzzer. **antonio107** , the Nipsey Russel of our group gave us this poem: “The morals which I lack, when I make ends meet, I even sold some crack, On Sesame Street!” That’s another match! **Skammer** : Wall Street, which our contestant mentioned considering. **etv78** : Main Street, another one our contestant weighed and ultimately discarded. and last but by no means least, **Dr. Girlfriend** : Sesame Street! :wild applause: So, **cmkeller** , you did _very_ well in round 1! As we go to round 2, the score stands: **MadTheSwine** : 0 **cmkeller** : 3 (insert commercial here) ---

**Round 2! Here we go!** **MadTheSwine** is up first: please consider your answer to this as the panelists PM me their responses to: \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ BEAUTY. **MadTheSwine** matched no panelists in round 1, so _everybody plays_. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ BEAUTY. ---

Ooh..I like this one…but IIRC the leader goes 1st in round two otherwise if the 2nd place contestant does not match the current score of the leader,game over. Isn’t that how it worked? ---

> [@](#): > > Isn’t that how it worked? Possibly. That nagged at me, briefly, too. I’ll have to consult my extensive documentation (namely, the two or three weeks worth of episodes sitting on my DVR currently). Since we’re not constrained by the same time issues of the real game, and are not moving on to bonus rounds, let’s stick with this for now. ---
