For the first time all year, everyone reached double-digits. Tim and Cait played their pick sheets with near-flawless technique. Only Atwater-Donnelly picking the mandolin could match that kind of dexterity.
Tim’s 13-spot put him in a tie for second place, one point behind Joe. Cait’s 13-job slid her into first place in the women’s division (fifth overall). Several personal records were achieved this week. Tim, Cait, Ciara (11), and Matt (12) all set season-highs, while Joe (11) tied his.
Last week, a 10-nugget won it. This week, a 10-piece gets colored loser’s gold. Go figure.
