The highest score and the next deal were earned by Paul Keating. His Croatian beach got five votes, though one of them was his own and doesn't score a point. (This is reflected as a -1 DP adjustment in the table below.) By coincidence, or perhaps not, "uvala" is also originally a Serbo-Croatian word. Paul also earned two points for voting for #9, for a total of 6. Runner-ups and traditional "winnahs" were Tim Lodge with his Norse funeral and Tim Bourne with his Viking oarlock. Each scored 5 points.
