Get yourself a trademark, stat! Also, an American pop-culture reference is worth 20 points. (Rachel did walk a fine line in making a reference that makes little sense outside the US.) She gets an additional 30 points from linking the statue number into her caption. Include the mild gender-bending, and Rachel gets a total of 130. Dave gets 180 points for using the term "jet-pool" (from the <a href="http://bakkerbugle.com/blog/2008/11/14/bit-of-business-bugle-tumblr/" rel="nofollow">Bugle Tumblr</a>) and another 40 points for the mention of wine. Anita gets no points, because she is not allowed to compete and because her caption is silly.

Keely gets 55 points for the use of an <i>implied</i> thought balloon and an additional 40 points for mentioning wine. Sharon get 90 points for moderate gender bending and an additional 40 points for using the word nemesis. Dave, Keely and Rachel get a bonus 3 points for submitting a caption in both rounds.
