There won’t be a trip to a SEASIDE RESORT offered today, but Shauna’s right with that response. Tuesday’s contestants…
Shauna Conway: From St. Marie, Ontario. Teaches PE and is a basketball/volleyball coach at Delano High School. Her mom flew over from Canada to watch her.
Mike Elling: From Wyckoff, NJ. Recent Syracuse University graduate with a major in television/radio/film production. Recently moved to LA a year ago. If he doesn’t become a rock star, he’s following Pat’s steps.
*uploader of this episode*
Denise Bailey: Cuyahoga Falls, OH. Married to Jason with 3 kids. Works for a major health insurance company and does some volunteering at the zoo,

NO QUESTIONS ASKED during this part of the game - Mike spins first.
It seemed to my eyes that Shauna rang in first; definitely a reason to use the blinkers on the scoreboard than just on the flippers.
Gift Tag: RICARDO luggage
$10,000 Round: Event
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _
Mike begins this round with 3 $900 N’s, a $300 T, buys 2 O’s, gets 2 G’s on $300 (near LOSE A TURN), buys an I and picks up the Free Spin with 4 R’s (kind of a waste there). He spins once more for a $400 F (next to $550)…
G R I N N I N G / F R O _
_ _ R / T O / _ _ R
...and is GRINNING FROM EAR TO EAR upon winning another $3,500. PERFECTION
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Denise: Spinning Next
Shauna: $1,000
Mike: $5,500 + Free Spin
Prize Added to Wheel: Harrah’s Las Vegas worth $3,600 (labeled HARRAH’S)
Jolly Time Popcorn Jackpot Round: Same Name

_ _ _ _
A Null Cycle was cut right at the beginning of this round as Denise’s first spin seemed like it was going to land on LOSE A TURN. Anyway, she gets 2 L’s & 3 S’s on $550, an R on $300 (next to $900), buys an E, gets 2 M’s on $900, buys 3 A’s, gets a C on $300, but then the ladies BANKRUPT back-to-back (next to $900) and Denise loses $4,650. Mike picks off the rest of the consonants with 2 B’s on $500, an $800 H (close to JACKPOT), and a $300 P.
M _ S H R _ _ M / & ($9,200)

MUSHROOM & BASEBALL CAPS are correct for another $2,100.
Lose a Turn (?): Denise
Bankrupts: 2 (Women)
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Denise: Unlucky
Shauna: $1,000
Mike: $7,600 + Free Spin
Before we head to commercial, we see snippets from Family Week where a team flips the correct Mystery Wedge for a Kia Rio. I think we all know how that ends.

Mystery Round: Fill In The Number
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / #
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
Shauna starts this round with a $400 S (next to $550), but calls a dud L on the MYSTERY near $800. Mike calls a T on $300, an R for the RICARDO, buys 3 A’s, “buys” an N on $300 (near LOSE A TURN), actually buys 6 E’s, calls up 2 P’s on $300, a G on $300 (near $900), an M on $300, buys 3 O’s, but then the BANKRUPT (next to Top Dollar) to give up $2,050 cash & luggage and uses his Free Spin...only to land on that same doggone BANKRUPT again.
Denise calls up 2 H’s & D for $2,100, but that pesky BANKRUPT once again takes away her cash. Shauna almost lands on that same space, but she escapes to $300 (and thanks the Lord for that) and calls a singular C..
T H E R E / A R E / #
P E R _ O D S / _ N / A
P R O / H O C _ E _
G A M E
Shauna wins only $700, but does she know that THERE ARE # PERIODS IN A PRO HOCKEY GAME? Yes with 3, so her round total is $3,700.
Dud: L (Shauna)
Bankrupts: 3 (Mike twice, Denise once)
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Denise: Tough Luck
Shauna: $4,700
Mike: $7,600
Kinda fitting that Shauna solved the puzzle - she’s from Canada and has the Canadian Flag on her shirt (it’s really small tho).

Mike may not be a LOTTERY WINNER, but he’s up to five figures with that solve.
Round 4: Thing
_ / _ _ _ _ - _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I no-lettered this thanks to the hyphen.
Mike escapes LOSE A TURN and lands on $300, but R is nowhere to be found. Denise wastes a turn with a BANKRUPT (near $900), so off to Shauna already. She calls 3 T’s for $1,200 (near $600), but that same BANKRUPT wipes out her money as well. Mike calls 2 S’s on $900 and it’s speedup time already.
_ / _ _ S T - _ _ _

Final Spin: $1,300
Mike: 2 N’s (Starts to say something, but the buzzer cuts him off.)
Denise: M
_ / M _ S T - _ _ N
S _ T _ _ T _ _ N
This wasn’t A MUST-WIN SITUATION for Denise, but she’s finally off the schneid with her only $1,300 payoff.
Dud: R (Mike)
Bankrupts: 2 (Women)
End Totals:
Denise: $1,300
Shauna: $4,700
Mike: $10,600
Maingame Total: $16,600
Bankrupt Trash: $10,000
Pat lets Mike throw it to commercial this time since he wants to be a television host one day.

$100,000 Bonus Round
The luxury cars on stage this week are a Jaguar X-Type and a Mercury Mountaineer. Mike brought some of his friends (Will & Demetrius) and lands on the A in CASH.
Category: Living Thing (Mike: Eh, it’s okay.)
RSTLNE fills in a third of this puzzle...
_ R _ _ _ N _ L _
CYMA adds a couple more…
_ R A _ _ N _ L Y
He tries to make some guesses starting with B, but it was DRAGONFLY. Before Pat shows the envelope to the audience, Mike takes a peek at it and yells out in anger…
...AND HE HAD A REASON TO DO SO - HE’S THE FIFTH $100,000 LOSER THIS SEASON. Rats. He’ll have to settle for $10,600.
End Chat: The disappointing loss.
My Rating: 2
Well, that was a huge disappointment. Hopefully, the next episode that I recap will be much better.
