Last night, we started the week on a strong note when Victoria & Viola Smith took home $100,850 in cash and trip (including a $45,000 BR win). Our next three families have the daunting task of following that up.
EPISODE #5207 - BEACHES RESORTS FAMILY WEEK
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE

_ _ _ / _ P _ T
Jeff and Daniel say "THAT HITS THE SPOT". Tuesday's teams...
Jeff & Daniel Laube (father/son): Jeff is a senior engineer at a major aerospace company while Daniel is an Orange Coast sophomore who is about to be transferred to Long Beach State and planning on becoming a graphic artist; they're from Cypress, CA
Margaret Kubiak & Dorota Domantay (sisters): Margaret is a banker from Westchester, CA while Dorota is an office manager at an interactive media agency from Marina Del Rey, CA
Mary Anne & Michael Dixon (mother/son): Mary Anne is a retired teacher while Michael is a mechanical engineer; they're from Bakersfield, CA
$2,000 Tossup - FUN AND GAMES

Jeff and Daniel are quickly two for two with HIDE-AND-SEEK.
BEACHES PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: that $15K trip to the Beaches Resort Villages & Spa in the Turks & Caicos (available all week long)
Jackpot Round - SONG LYRICS (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Our father/son team get off to a good start w/ a $5K pair of S's. The next spin lands them on the Beaches wedge, but they dud out with the R. The sisters secondly nab the Wild Card with five T's, but they then miss with an N while on the Lobster Gram gift tag. Third, the Dixons leave only vowels remaining...
S H _ _ T / S H _ _ T
L E T / I T / _ L L / _ _ T
...they solve "SHOUT, SHOUT, LET IT ALL OUT" (from a song by Tears for Fears) for $3,700...and a $15,000 trip to the Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort in THE BAHAMAS. They're on the board with $18,700 in cash and trip.

Round 2 - FOOD AND DRINK
The sisters lead off w/ a D but then LAT out. Second, the Dixons put in some multiples and pick up that T&C trip w/ an S. But they next buy the only bad vowel of this puzzle, likely costing them
$16,050 cash and trip. The Laubes next fill in two M's and a U, but they hit LAT. Back in control, the sisters put in a few more letters but hit LAT again. The Dixons narrow things down to this...
W A R M / A P P _ E
P I E / S P R I N _ _ E D
W I T H / N U T M E G
