And no, this is not Monday's episode.
Theme Week: Home For The Holidays (*cough**cough* OCEAN KAYAKING *cough**cough*)
Yes, I know that it's around Christmas but I'm preparing this recap 3 months ahead just because.
Anyway, all modern games start off with a tossup, let's put one up for a grand!
$1,000 Tossup: Person
_ A N T A / A T
_ H _ / M A L L
Carrie, the provider of the episode, spots SANTA AT THE MALL. Who are today'sshoppers players?
Carrie Magometry (audio was a little fuzzy to pinpoint): From Savannah, Georgia (originally from Conneticut). Graduated at some university (Clemson?) with an architect's degree (Hey! That's my future job!). She's still in the Restaurant business though.
Marilyn Piltcher: Recently retired in Curtis, Nebraska (used to live in Akron, Colorado). Used to teach 3rd grade. Married 32 years with a husband, has 2 grown-up children, and a granddaughter.
Al-Malik Wilds: From Compton, California. UC Davis grad. Has ambitions to get into LAPD (short for Los Angeles Police Department) and later into the FBI. Big Lakers fan. Studies a unique kind of martial arts (a mix of Karate, Chinese Boxing, Judo, and some others).
Here comes another tossup worth $2,000!
$2,000 Tossup: Phrase
C _ A _ / _ _ U R
H A _ _ S
Al-Malik blanks out.
C _ A P / Y _ U R
H A _ N S
CLAP YOU HANDS everyone, Carrie does it again!
(Pat notices that Carrie could pull out a blowout win! Could it happen? Read further to find out!)
Round 1: On the Map
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But Carrie LATs right out of the gate. Marilyn gets 3 N's on $300, an S for a FREE SPIN, buys 2 A's, and gets 2 L's on $350.
L _ N _ _ L N
N _ _ _ A S _ A
For a quick $1,350, Marilyn pinpoints LINCOLN NEBRASKA! And apparently, it's nowhere close to her town (Proof: www.google.com/maps/dir/Lincoln,+NE/Curtis,+NE+69025/@40.6187806,-99.7301515,8z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x8796be59ca561265:0x633a859b1fd5deb9!2m2!1d-96.7025955!2d40.813616!1m5!1m1!1s0x879e1b32a7556433:0x807def0ede4d7a3f!2m2!1d-100.5157004!2d40.6300081 ).
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Carrie: $3,000 Tossup Money
Marilyn: $1,350 + FREE SPIN
Al-Malik: Silence will do you no good.
Round 1 Events:
Instant LAT hit by Carrie.
Tonight's JACKPOT round is sponsored by Best of Tribond.

JACKPOT Round: Before & After
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Marilyn gets 3 T's on $600, 2 H's on $500, 4 R's on $450, buys 5 E's, 1 A, and an N on the JACKPOT wedge. Can she solve it for a $6,550 pot with this showing?
_ _ _ E _ H E R E
_ _ E R / T H E
R A _ N _ _ _
T R _ _ T
I knew it at this point, but she can't. And to make matters worse, she BANKRUPTS near $900 to give up $4,100 dollars! But her FREE SPIN gives her an extra life. Unfortunately, she can't cash in with a $300 L.
Al-Malik gets a $600 B, 2 W's on $450, and an S on $800.
S _ _ E W H E R E
_ _ E R / T H E
R A _ N B _ W
T R _ _ T
This puzzle was last used in Season 26's edition of Pet Lovers Week, and he knows that it's "SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW" TROUT for $2,300.
Unclaimed JACKPOT: $8,700
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Carrie: $3,000 Tossup Money
Marilyn: $1,350
Al-Malik: $2,300
Round 2 Events:
$4,100 BANKRUPT from Marilyn (uses her FREE SPIN) along with a dud L call (no money at stake).
So, Pat's prediction of Carrie winning might be a little off. Perhaps the legendary $10,000 oreo could change that?
Or how about this prize? A trip to Orlando, Florida (Hey! That's of the places that I visited last summer!) at Walt Disney's Swan and Dolphin Hotel (an Epcot resort) worth $4,500 (labeled ORLANDO)!
$10,000 Round: The 90's (New Category Alert?)
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ / &
_ _ _ _ _ _
And right away, Al-Malik duds with an S on $900. Carrie gets an L on $300, but PAINFULLY misses out on a T on $3,500 (don't worry Carrie, I've experienced this before).
Marilyn gets an N on $300, 5 R's on $300, but duds out with an F on $400.
Al-Malik gets a Y on $550, buys 6 E's, gets an M on $800, but duds out with a C on $300.
Carrie gets a J on $500, but duds out with a D on $900.
Marilyn buys 2 A's, but MAKES A VERY CRITICAL MISTAKE of repeating the C at $3,500 (
). Al-Malik decides that this awful round needs to be put to sleep...
J E R R Y
E L A _ N E
_ E _ R _ E / &
_ R A M E R
...and solves the Seinfield characters of JERRY ELAINE GEORGE & KRAMER for $1,100.
Pre-Tossup 3 Scores:
Carrie: $3,000 Tossup Money
Marilyn: $1,350
Al-Malik: $3,400
Round 3 Events:
Duds of T and S from Carrie ($800 Unclaimed)
A dud of a T and a CRITICAL DQ of a C repeat from Marilyn ($1,550 Unclaimed)
A dud of a C from Al-Malik
Hopefully, more money can be claimed through a $3,000 tossup (And whoever wins it gets the lead.)!
$3,000 Tossup: Thing
_ P O R T
S _ _ R T
Al-Malik blows it by a letter with SPORT SHORT. Marilyn then jumps in with the correct answer of a SPORT SHIRT to ruin Carrie's tossup sweep.
And maybe the $5,000 wedge could bring up those meager scores!
Round 4: Occupation
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Marilyn gets an N on $300, but duds out with an R on $800.
Al-Malik doesn't do any better with a T on $800.
Carrie gets an S on $700, but duds out with an L on $550.
Marilyn gets a Y on $800, but buys a dud O.
Al-Malik flirts with the danger wedges and gets a C on $800, an H on $300, buys 3 E's, gets an M on $600, but his next call of D on $900 is a no-no.
Carrie gets the ORLANDO trip with a P...
C H _ M N E Y
S _ E E P
...and solves CHIMNEY SWEEP (last used as a bonus puzzle in season 22) to keep the trip along with an extra $700!
Pre-Round 5 Scores:
Carrie: $8,200 Cash + Orlando
Marilyn: $4,350
Al-Malik: $3,400
Round 4 Events:
Duds of R and O from Marilyn ($1,100 Unclaimed)
Duds of T and D from Al-Malik ($1,450 Unclaimed)
A dud of an L from Carrie
That looks a little better, doesn't it?
Round 5: Place
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
(Final Spin Bells Ring)
Actually, it's time for Pat to do the spinning, each consonant will be worth $1,450 ($450 + $1,000).
Al-Malik: 2 R's
Carrie: No L
Marilyn: 2 N's
Al-Malik: No S
Carrie: No T
Marilyn: 2 C's
Al-Malik: 1 M
C O N _ _ R _ N C _
R _ _ M
It's not enough for the win, but Al-Malik gets CONFERENCE ROOM for another $4,350.
End Totals:
Carrie: $8,200 Cash + Orlando
Marilyn: $4,350
Al-Malik: $7,750
Penalty Box:
BANKRUPT Hits: 1
LOSE A TURN Hits: 1
Duds: 13
DQ's: 1
Unclaimed Items: $10,700 in Cash
BANKRUPT Trash: $4,100
$100,000 BONUS ROUND
Looks like Pat had the faith that Carrie could win the game after all! Here are some of the prizes that Carrie could get:
Santa's Sleigh (A Car)
A Bundle of Cash ($25,000)
AN EVEN BIGGER BUNDLE OF CASH ($100,000)
Carrie lands on the ten-thousands digit. This will be her final puzzle.
Category: Phrase
The end letters from the RSTLNE package are revealed first.
_ _ N ' T
_ _ _ _ E T
YDCO will give Carrie besides the obvious...
D O N ' T
_ _ D _ E T
DON'T FIDGET during your thinking time Carrie....she solves it right when the timer started! Her reward will be an Audi A6 Sedan worth $36,175, meaning that she drives outta here with $44,375 in cash and prizes (Her sister and her best friend were in the audience.).
Unfortunately, that's where the tape ends, so I don't have any info on the closing chat.

I do wish that Al-Malik spun more to gain more dough.
Ugh. Was she not looking at the ULB? Bad fail by her.
