Okay, tried again last night. Came in 2nd multiple times. Brother-in-law called me and kept me on the phone about an ebay auction he was trying to win. I kept playing and a few minutes later got gold without even realizing I was in the lead when I came to the finish.

Skipped the animation this time and saved right away. Then it was time for the hip hop history show on Vh1. Tonight will be challenge 1!
