In the pre-game, Adriana complains about a "big lug of a thing" 6'3" John Burgess landing on her foot. Burgo wasn't paying attention, and he walked straight on her foot. Now she can't even feel anything.

Bev: D (DUD!)
James: L (580)
Dean: S (1,670)
Bev: P (DUD!)

BONUS ROUND:
We don't know if James will have a close call like the last puzzle, but we do know he can win another major prize! It might be the Ford Laser GL worth $18,780!

PHRASE | ||||||||||||||
He's silent until saying TO BE A, and then he thinks PAIN IN THE NECK, causing the duo to laugh. No sweep as James does not solve TO BE A FLY ON THE WALL, so he stays at $7,619 in prizes and will play again.
Note: It actually says $7,618 on the scoreboard...but we're not counting that extra $1 for the chocolates in Round 2.
