If you're a contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", you would be playing IN THE HOT SEAT, and Bobby solves this puzzle to get on the board. Let's see if one of these people can turn up the heat in terms of big winnings...
Bobby Dell'isola: West Babylon School District math teacher from East Islip, NY
Pauline Erickson: fitness instructor from Woodland, WA
Lara Czerwinski: HR worker for a large financial services company from Boston
$2,000 Tossup - THINGS
B A _ L E _
S L I P _ E _ S
Lara solves BALLET SLIPPERS.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: from Pleasant Holidays, a trip to the Ihilani Resort & Spa in Oahu, HI worth $6,825
Jackpot Round - SAME NAME
This puzzle is one of the rare times the puzzle uses the whole "AND" instead of the &.
Two consonant singles (T and N) give her a $1K start. After some vowel purchases comes BANKRUPT, costing her the leftover $500. Second, Bobby puts up a $600 D, but he too goes BANKRUPT. Third, Pauline puts in the R and I, but she gets the same fate as everybody else to toss aside $350. After Lara hits LAT, Bobby picks up that Hawaiian getaway w/ two C's. Two spins later, he FPs the remaining O's...
_ O _ O / A N D
C E L E R _
S T I C _
...and he's off by one letter with POLO AND CELERY STICK, possibly leaving $7,625 in cash and trip on the table. Pauline also lands on FP and fills in the Y, but she then misses with an M. Lara completes the whole board...
P O G O / A N D
C E L E R Y
S T I C K
...and reads POGO AND CELERY STICK for $3,700 (including a $2,500 P).

Round 2 - FUN AND GAMES
Bobby fills in most of the puzzle before hitting LAT, and that will cost him $5,150. Pauline follows that up with a dud of M. Later, Lara FPs a single B. Once again, we have another complete board...

R O O K S / B I S H O P S

Mystery Round - SONG LYRICS (PRIZE PUZZLE)

Lara lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW and fills in the H. She takes a $300 gamble...and like Pauline, she gets her second BANKRUPT this episode. The next picks from Bobby are three S's and a B for that MDW. Later, he faces this...
