Nothin' but rotten luck for the red team.

WINNINGS SO FAR: $46,400
BANKRUPT TRASH: WILD

BONUS ROUND:

We've got pairs of 2007 Hummer H3s and 2007 Pontiac G6 GT coupes up for grabs this week. Oh, and for this road trip, Pat will give the car keys to the contestant(s) if he/she wins a car here.

Anyway, the people that are watching the lovers of SHREVEPORT are Eric, Jennifer's son (Griffin) and 2 of Angela's kids (Jake & Amaris).

Jennifer spins up to the , and let's see if this final puzzle will make 'em scream with joy...

PHRASE

RSTLNE (font’s in Arial for this road trip) gives just one:

PHRASE

Jennifer goes for DGMA...

...ouch. A strikeout to kick off this remote.

Angela says BOX LUNCH and the closest she got just before the timer ran out is GET LUCKY. Looks like Angela & Jennifer wouldn’t be saying HOW LUCKY...

...because they just lost out on $50,000. That sends the team home with $23,550.

It's been 5 years since the show taped here and Pat thanks CBS11 (the station the show plays in Dallas) for their support.

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

EXTRA NOTES: For the first 6 weeks of the season (and probably Hawaii Week), the second BANKRUPT would always be on the wheel whether if R4 began in Speed-Up mode or not. The same applied to this week (but not the other two weeks on this road trip).

Also, since Thursday's was the other episode of the week available online, here's what happened the other days (credit to an007 as always)...

TUESDAY: Mason & Spencer failed to pinpoint URUGUAY for $30K (On The Map; CDHA)
WEDNESDAY: Jorge & Ryan failed to solve VIVID DREAM for $30K (Thing; DBMA)

Also, on the Wednesday episode, Katie & Thelma failed to claim $48K in the Speed-Up round.

FRIDAY: Nancy & Julie took advantage of this JOB OFFER (Thing; GBDO) and salvaged this week; they won the $63,170 Hummers

...wow, those were some tough puzzles.

Also, I forgot to mention this: The extra drumbeat for the solve cue that was added in last week plays in this road trip as well.

EDIT: At least one multiple was left out in each of the first three rounds…wow.
