I figured that since we aren't getting new episodes this week, I would recap a few of the episodes that popped up over the year, so we can have a little life on these boards.
Also, the recap for the episode before is incomplete, so just for sake of completion, here's the rest of that episode:
Ben can be PROSPECTING FOR GOLD TEETH with $2,350 and the win!
Final Totals:
Ben: $7,050
John: $6,496
Melisa: $0 (retiring with $41,149)
BONUS ROUND:
The first E is gone. Ben chooses the L.
The final category is THING.

Ben's BCM A duds out. He guesses DOLT, WILT, KELT, MELTS, and FELT, but he fails to get a VOLT for the MOTORHOME.
