Tossup 1: Things
_ R O N _ - _ O W
_ E _ T _
Hopefully, Chuck’s supporters in the studio are in their FRONT-ROW SEATS while watching him. Tuesday’s panel…
Chuck Yakiyoni (?): San Antonio, TX. Married health and P.E. teacher who’s starting grad school later this year. Also, he pleads the 5th about his marriage.
Todd Kinder: Syracuse, NY. Telecommunications, customer service, and sales specialist. Wants to go back to school. Has 3 black cats (Memnac, Lista, and Quentin) at home.
Melissa Jacobson: San Diego, CA. Merchandiser/student. Married to Ryan. Used to be a boat cleaner.
Gift Tag: MyPoints.com merchandise (labeled My Points)
Round 1: Event
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
Chuck starts off with 2 $300 R’s (next to My Points), but immediately calls a dud M right after on $500 (Why so early?).
Todd gets a T on the same $300, but S on $900 ends his turn. Melissa does the rest of the work: a $600 L (Slid past Top Dollar.), a D on that $300 space, 3 E’s, a C on the other $300, 2 I’s, and an H on the same $600 space.
H E L I C _ _ T E R
R I D E
Melissa wins her first $1,300 and could take a HELICOPTER RIDE if she wins the trip that’s up for grabs next round.
Duds: M (Chuck), S (Todd)
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Todd: Spinning Next
Melissa: $1,300
Chuck: $1,000 Tossup Money
1st Prize Added to Wheel: Miami courtesy of Yahoo! Travel worth $3,500 (labeled YAHOO! Travel)

Todd starts with a $450 S, 3 $600 T’s (Next to Top Dollar.), but calls a bad D next while on $600.
Melissa picks up the FREE SPIN with an R trio, calls up 3 $450 B’s, 3 E’s, an L on $800 (Almost hit JACKPOT.), an O, but then hits the BANKRUPT next to $600 to lose $1,650. She’ll use that FREE SPIN...but that turns out to be a waste as she calls a dud of C while on $450.
Chuck next picks off 2 J’s on $600 (Almost got Top Dollar.), but gives his $1,200 back to the other BANKRUPT. Todd finishes off with 2 $300 N’s…

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Melissa immediately calls a dud S while on $300. Chuck calls up a $600 T, an $800 H, but duds with R on the same space.
Todd repeats the S while on $500 (And he immediately saw that mistake afterwards.), so it’s off to Melissa who calls up a $600 N (Next to Top Dollar.), a D for the My Points gift tag, 4 E’s, 4 $800 L’s, and 2 I’s.
L E _ E L / T H E

Melissa isn’t gonna LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD with that solve, but rather earn another $4,300 in cash & My Points.

Todd immediately BANKRUPTs next to $500. Melissa next picks off a $600 R (Next to BANKRUPT.), but calls N for nada while on $5,000.
Chuck goes for a $600 T, but calls L for loss while on $500, so it’s back to Todd. He calls a $500 H, 2 $550 M’s, 2 E’s, 2 O’s, and 2 $300 S’s (Next to $900.). At that moment, the Final Spin Bells ring out.

These MOTHER GOOSE BUMPS didn’t get the best of Todd as he solves it to win the game with $3,000 more.

RSTLNE reveals the last two letters of this puzzle.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ N S
MDGI gives him the hot vowel.
_ _ _ _ I I _ N S
But it’s still not enough as he says VILLAINS, BILLIONS, MILLIONS, and TRILLIONS. This puzzle is actually themed to the week - HAWAIIANS. He loses the Jet Ski & Wrangler (That was the one that he wanted) and must depart with just $6,850.
Closing Chat: Pat used to go to all of those TJ Hooker conventions when TJ Hooker came into town.
