Yep, I'm skipping forward to Thursday's episode. There's a wide variety of these types of episodes and I haven't got all the time in the world to recap. With that said, let's get to it.
Also, refer here for Monday's episode.

Not sure if David's an AUTOGRAPH COLLECTOR, but he's won his first grand. Bios on him and the ladies...
David Abad: Chicago, IL. Married to Aricelia w/ 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls). Operations manager at a logistics company in Bolingbrook.
Rebecca Freeman: Lives in Redondo Beach, CA (orig. from Tuscon) for at least 1.5 yrs. Electrical engineer who loves to play indoor & outdoor beach volleyball.
Marcia Castor: Gardnerville, NV (orig. from Lackawanna, NY; best friend Janna lives back there; her brother would kill her if she didn't mention it
). Recently retired South Tahoe HS principal (left in June). Also has another brother & sister plus a couple of goats. Last but not least, her husband of 42 yrs. (she almost forgot), Bill, is in the audience (Pat: That's how it goes, Bill! If you're 42 years, you take a back seat to the goats!).
Geez, that was one of the longest contestant interviews I've ever written.

Eggland's Best Jackpot Round: Phrase
_ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ ($5,000)
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
Fresh off his big R1, David gets a $450 T, an R for the FREE SPIN, but then the BANKRUPT near JACKPOT and decides to keep his FS (reasonable given he has a pretty big lead).
Rebecca starts her spinning journey with 2 H's & 3 F's for $3,000 (next to top dollar), and an M for the WILD CARD...
F _ _ / F _ R / T H _ ($6,650)
_ H _ _ _ / F _ M _ _ _
...and realizes that this show is FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY, so everyone's on the board.
Bankrupt: David
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Rebecca: $3,000 + WC
Marcia: $2,000
David: $24,550 cash & HI + FS
I think Rebecca should've kept spinning...her spin power was approaching that theHoliday wedge.

_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _

Rebecca starts this biggie with 3 T's for $900, but then BANKRUPT (near top dollar) to give up that and her WC. Marcia gets 3 $800 H's, 4 E's (not so fast!), 3 N's for Garment, 3 A's, but then the other BANKRUPT to give up $2,650 cash & popcorn (Marcia: Easy come, easy go.). David lights up 3 S's on the MYSTERY near $900 and decides to take a look...and it's empty. This time he decides to turn in his FS...but his next call of L on $300 is a bust.
Rebecca restarts with 2 R's for $600, but then her own BANKRUPT again. Marcia goes for pairs of C's ($800), Y's ($300) and D's ($900)...

_ N _ _ N / A S / T H E

Pre-Tossup 3 Scores:
Rebecca: $3,000
Marcia: $2,000
David: $28,450 cash & HI
Ugly round, period. Also, why did David not say the M's? And Pat quickly threw it to commercial after the round was finished.

My Rating: 8
Tomorrow, we'll look at European Landmarks week (a couple episodes this week were quite interesting to see).
