Phenomenal personalities

Bubbie37

The phenomenal king

Two in every five. Most of his are food, from the reindeer in Alaska to all four on Day 25. Even a nice bed qualified.

Steve27

The taster

Led the race for 12 days. Food first, then golf: six of his are pure hype for a shot, his own or someone else's.

Scharff15

The breakfast guy

Five of his eight food ones are about breakfast: hash browns, diners and Monroe's, twice.

Blake15

The course critic

Five of his are "the golf course was phenomenal", every one of them inside a state rating.

Ghetti2

One breath, both

Both in one sentence about Oregon: the greens were phenomenal, the fairways were phenomenal. Nothing since.

Garrett0

Phenomenal-proof

Not once. Unbelievable, insane, unreal, yes. Never the word.
