In my last recap, I said something about the Friday Finals. This week had no Friday Finals. The previous season had the last FF. This recap will be in a different format as I'm bored. Have a happy Labor Day!

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
Lucy starts us off with two T's for $600, an E buy, and a $300 N, but she lost it all on the BANKRUPT near $250.
Chuck can't make progress as he hits the same BANKRUPT.
Cheryl couldn't find an H in the puzzle.
Lucy found an S for $300 and a C pair for $900, then tried to solve...
C _ _ C _ S
T E N T
...and the showgirl wins $2100 with that CIRCUS TENT of hers. She could win $3000 more...
Puzzler: Person
_ _ O N
T _ _ _ R
She's not the kind of LION TAMER we were looking for, so she gets nothing.

G O L D E N / G L O B E
W I N / F O R / T _ ' S

Final Spin: $300
Lucy: 2 T's, S, R, no N

I T ‘ S / _ L L
T H E / R _ _ E
...he's finally happy that he won money, but IT'S ALL THE RAGE that it's only $600.

Chuck: $600
Cheryl: $3,200 *BBQ*

Bankrupt Trash: $2,200
================================
Lucy was happy to win, but can she stop this week from being a SKUNKER?
W H E E L

Bonus Round: Thing
C _ _ P _ N
RSTLNE CPMI
The result...
SHE COULDN'T GET COUPON AND SHE LOST THE PUERTO VALLARTA/BOAT PACKAGE AND WE GOT SKUNKED THIS WEEK. BUT SHE STILL LEFT WITH $4,600.
MY REVIEW: What the hell? It was so bad. Chuck's missolve on R2, Cheryl's spinning for vowels, and everything in between. Absolutely not. I give this a 1. I'll be back soon with more!
