For the first time out of three this week, there aren't any holiday decorations for their Christmas Week since they've already used them for the sears Secret Santa Sweepstakes, but we have to press on as usual. The first Toss-Up category of the week will be Rhyme Time:
_ _ _ / _ _
_ _ _ / S U N
Valerie's having FUN IN THE SUN so far. Let's greet the first panel of the week:
Valerie Ray (Indianapolis)- A former six-year marketing communications worker who's starting to work on a Master's Program regarding Occupational Therapy this Fall
Richard Gopez (San Diego)- A Chemistry academic adviser at UCSD married to Luisa for 16 years
Teresa Pitts (L.A.)- A UCLA senior majoring in English & minoring in Civic Engagement who's also a singer/songwriter
On the Map is the $2K T-U theme:
L _ K E
_ _ P E R _ O R
Teresa correctly identifies LAKE SUPERIOR.
MidNite Jackpot Round category's Event & the prizes on the wheel now are a Great Escape to the Holvaloa Inn in Hawaii w/ airfare from Bed and Breakfast.com worth $6,590 & the SpaFinder.com gift tag (this week's category wipe is a sportscar). She starts by calling four N's for $2,400, two H's to add a grand, two T's for another $1,100, two H's for an additional $1,800 & a G for the Wild Card, then she Free Plays a $500 M but then finally duds out w/ the M. Second, Valerie calls two Y's at $550 each but then spins up Lose a Turn. Third, Richard immediately hits the Bankrupt next to the $2.5K wedge. On Teresa's second turn, she gets the Hawaii wedge w/ two R's but then calls a dud of P while on the green 1/2 KIA. Valerie next calls an F for that gift certificate & at least one vowel's finally bought w/ two O's, then she calls up a $350 S & a $300 L & we have...
F _ N D _ N G
M O N _ Y / _ N / T H _
_ L O T H _ S / D R Y _ R
