Yes, the number of words (food related) was key. However, what they didn't
say on TV was that if there had been a tie the tie-breaker was based on
who
used the most letters. If I remember correctly someone counted after and
they both had used 59 letters. So if Sheila hadn't taken forever and her
team had gotten one more word on the board they would have won. Wonder why
she didn't just spell out something real simple like "pie"?
