I was distracted at the end of the second round and missed what happened with the female contestant. Why was she in such a dither after the final question? I’m guessing she missed giving a completely obvious response. 😕

The female contestant (Melissa Perry Harris) was in a dither because Matthew Weiner had missed the question about what organization Julian Bond led for awhile.
