On the episode before, Kelly Cheresnick won therefore.
With $32,706 overall, which is in cash and a trip to Mexico I recall.
But while I was FINDING MY GROOVE (WAYD?, MCPI), Kelly did not solve it to prove.
Now, it's the second day of the giveaway. Can any of these players make Mike pay?

Marianne's not VISITING WITH FAMILY at this moment, but she's the first to score among this Tuesday trio (one's not from California)...
Marianne Hawthorne: Las Vegas, NV. Married to Sean w/ 4 kids (one's named Princess) & 9 grandkids. Loves darts.
Zack Haldeman: L.A. National security researcher (don't ask him too many questions about that - he'd dare you to ask a follow-up) who's married to Anne Marie w/ a 5-yr.-old daughter (Charlie).
Meinir Heilbrun: San Diego (orig. from Wales; met a serviceman who whisked her away). Golfer and property manager for single-family homes and condos. Married to Ed for 42 yrs. w/ 2 grown daughters.
Pat tried to ask Zack about any new projects he had - it didn't work. And I can definitely hear that unique accent from Meinir...

Of course, I've never heard of this (it's an old children's toy), but Meinir gets SPEAK & SPELL for spinning rights.
After the prize plug, Pat asks Jim (who's shown on camera) if there are some questions Zack could be asked about - he's having a hard time on that.

Going to commercial (set to "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen"), we see some future contestants from the sweepstakes talk about their favorite Holiday traditions. Teal celebrates St. Nick Day, which means that on the eve of 12/6, St. Nicholas comes to the house and fills the stockings up with goodies and jammies to start off the holiday season. Cary doesn't often go back to his home state of Michigan during the holidays, so his mom sent him an ornament that's the shape of Michigan. Every year, he facetimes his mom and puts that ornament on his tree - makes him feel like he's home.

Well, that wasn't very merry. While I obviously did not say "I TOOK A QUICK JAUNT", Meinir could only say PAINT for the last word and there goes the Ford Edge. She'll leave with $15,000.
"If you had gotten this, there'd be an investigation here and in Wales." - Pat
Meinir Spin ID: DD2630450 (Don D.)
Closing Chat: There's a lot of stuff going under Vanna's dress.
Personal Rating: 5 (orig. a 6 - that was an unfair bonus puzzle)
Well, it was an average show and I shall grudgingly go.
All three earned a decent sum and the playing sure was not dumb.
But the Bonus Round man, these puzzles should be put a ban.
Will tomorrow be bright, or will it continue with fright?
With $32,706 overall, which is in cash and a trip to Mexico I recall.
But while I was FINDING MY GROOVE (WAYD?, MCPI), Kelly did not solve it to prove.
Now, it's the second day of the giveaway. Can any of these players make Mike pay?
