After grumbling for a bit, Erica gave in. "If you're going to strip me when Christa gets an answer right, I want to be able to strip somebody when she gets an answer wrong." If they agreed with her demand, then she might have a chance. Maybe they'd decide to call the whole thing off.

"That's not how this game works, Erica," Alicia said haughtily. She turned her attention back to Christa. "You said pants, right?"

Christa nodded in agreement. "You were right, Alicia," she gushed. "I guess I really did know the answer already!"

"You answered the question wrong!" Erica insisted.

"Hush, Erica," Alicia said. "As the moderator of the game, I determine that Christa's answer was sufficient." Carrie clapped her hands excitedly and Christa made a gesture urging Alicia to move things along so she could answer another question.
