Yes, I'm literally going by airing order and recapping the next episode. This begins their 3-week remote in Charleston, South Carolina and a majority of the Kaplan cues are retired in favor of the newer ones composed by Frankie Blue.

$1,000 Tossup: Song Lyrics
N _ _ _ I _ _ / _ _ U _ D
_ _ / _ _ _ _ _
Ladies and gentlemen, we're a minute in with the newer cues and we already have a nonsense answer - It's Demetrius with NEVER COULD SAY GOODBYE.
N _ _ _ I N _ / _ _ U _ D
_ E / _ _ _ _ _
Marc doesn't do any better with NOTHING COULD BE BETTER.
N _ T H I N G / C O U _ D
B E / _ _ _ _ _
Deb, the only female here, rightfully says NOTHING COULD BE FINER (from "Carolina in the Morning"). The first set of Charleston contestants all live in South Carolina...
Deb McGee: Mount Pleasant. Communications teacher at College of Charleston. Married to Brian w/ 2 kids & 2 dogs.
Marc Fisher: Mount Pleasant. Co-owner of Charleston's premier nightclub in downtown. Married to "the hottest pastry chef on the planet", Hilary, w/ a 9-month-old daughter.
Demetrius Simmons: McClellanville. Bridge inspector who enjoys riding street bikes and collecting odd cuts of wood.
I know that they were trying to fit the Charelston theme on the first tossup, but couldn't have they have picked a less obscure tune?
$2,000 Tossup: People
H _ _ _ _ _ U E _ T S
Take away the S and you'd get a bonus puzzle that I encountered on the 2012 video game (I solved it for the $55K motorbike); Deb's tripled up with HOUSEGUESTS.
Featured Prize: Berlin via lastminutetravel.com (marked EUROPE)
Mon./Wed./Fri. Gift Tag: Cooking.com
$10,000 Round: Phrase (Also the Prize Puzzle)

Deb starts off with a $900 T, an N for EUROPE, an E, but then the flipper doesn't hang on to the $10,000 and lands on it's left-side BANKRUPT, so there goes $5,150 cash & trip.
Marc takes control with G & 2 S's on $300, 2 I's, 2 $300 H's, a $500 L, and 2 O's.

It's SMOOTH SAILING AHEAD for Marc as he's won $1,500 and a Star Clippers CARIBBEAN CRUISE (incl. AA.com airfare) worth $7,390, putting him on the board with an $8,890 round.
And if you're Spin ID JH03117, you literally missed the boat. Are you a Sony Card holder?
Bankrupt: Deb
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Marc: $8,890 cash & cruise
Demetrius: Didn't even spin once.
Deb: $3,000

Oasis Mouthwash Jackpot Round: Before & After
_ _ _ _ _ ($5,000)
_ _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Our PP winner starts off with T & S on $600, but then a dud of I. Demetrius's spinning journey begins with an $800 N, a $550 R, 2 $900 D's, and $600 M (almost got that BANKRUPT nearby). But after buying 3 A's, he gets that aforementioned BANKRUPT to lose $3,500.
Deb selects a $7,000 B pair, 2 E's, a $900 F, a $350 K, but then O for oops to put $7,750 at risk (she thought it was COMFY). Marc buys the last vowel U, but then hits that same BANKRUPT (and for no reason, the footage was dubbed w/ another episode) to lose $700. Demetrius hits LOSE A TURN, so Deb has another chance...her spin doesn't quite reach JACKPOT and just lands on $800, but it doesn't matter since she calls a CRITICAL DUD in G. Marc then spingles for the L on the other $600...
L U M _ _ ($15,800)
B E D / A N D
B R E A K F A S T
...and while it would sound weird to be at a LUMPY BED AND BREAKFAST, he's got a $400 bonus.
Duds: I (Marc), O & G (Deb)
Lose a Turn: Demetrius
Bankrupts: 2 (Both from Marc.)
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Marc: $9,890 cash & cruise
Demetrius: Zero
Deb: $3,000
Ugly round, period. Also, the lights briefly went out after Marc solved the puzzle. Pat then jokes that South Carolina has the best sunsets.

The top line isn't used.
Demetrius wants to get on the board, but N on $600 won't cut it. Deb hits that same BANKRUPT, so it's off to Marc. He says 5 S's & 2 T's for $6,300, 8 E's, 2 H's on the MYSTERY near $900 and takes the guaranteed $2,000 to add to his $6,050 (wise move, that had the BANKRUPT). Next up is a C for Cooking.com, 2 I's, and a $3,600 R quartet.

$100,000 Bonus Round
In addition to the 2007 Winnebago Access ($67,177), there's also a 2007 Lexus IS. His father and brother (both named Earl) are here along with Hilary. His mom's also there, but she's in the lobby with the 9-month-old daughter.
Marc spins up to the N in BONUS.
Category: Thing
RSTLNE gives him a fourth of the puzzle...
_ _ _ _ E _ T
_ _ _ _ R
For the third episode in a row, someone goes CAMPing (CPMA), but it's not that useful once again...
_ _ _ _ E A T
_ _ M _ R
He mumbles some things, but can't get OFFBEAT HUMOR for $30,000. That sends him packing with $22,290 cash & prizes.
Closing Chat: Apparently, the R3 puzzle is the state dish. Also, a chef from the Charleston Grill will have an appearance later this week to make that dish.
