For Maeve Higgin's third Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank question, she answered "weather" which Peter Sagal accepted. The correct answer was "high temperatures". For Maeve's fourth Lightning question, Bobcat Goldthwait helped her by whispering "BTS" but Maeve thought he was whispering "PTS". Bobcat whispered "BTS" a little clearer, which Maeve gave as her answer.
