EPISODE #5226 - GREAT ESCAPES
$1,000 Tossup - PERSON
W O R L _
_ R _ _ _ L E R
Kyle hopes to become a WORLD TRAVELER after solving this puzzle. Let's kick the week off w/ this trio...
Kyle Callaway: network technician for a small telecommunications company as well as a Little League baseball/football coach from Arvada, CO
Tammy Yuen: retail manager from Santa Barbara, CA
Angie Sullivan: marketing executive from Louisville, KY
$2,000 Tossup - LIVING THING
T I _ _ R
_ H _ R K
Angie solves TIGER SHARK.
GE ON THE WHEEL: a Windstar Mediterranean cruise worth $10,098
Jackpot Round - ROCK ON!
Angie's off and running w/ two $400 T's, and two FP E's, but she goes BANKRUPT top dollar. Kyle's second in line w/ a Jackpot S, but he doesn't make the $6,400 solve. Soon enough...
_ A _ E / _ A T T H E _ S
_ A _ _
...he solves DAVE MATTHEWS BAND for the house minimum.
BANKRUPT HIT: Angie
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $6,900
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Tammy: $0
Angie and Kyle: $2,000 each
========
Round 2 - THING (PRIZE PUZZLE)
First from Kyle are an R and three A's, but then M for mistake. Secondly, Tammy spots two N's, but no E. Third, Angie picks up the Mediterranean cruise with three L's. But she then duds out with the H, thinking the last word is HALL. Kyle puts up the frontloading F, and we have...
F _ N A L
_ _ A R _ _ N _
_ A L L
The FINAL BOARDING CALL tells Kyle, with $750 in his bank, to NOT miss his flight to...the Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort & Spa in ST. THOMAS worth $6,625. He wins $7,375 that round.
TRIP SPIN ID: DB1589705 (Denise B. of Massachusetts)
DUDS: M (Kyle), E (Tammy), H (Angie)
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Tammy: $0
Angie: $2,000
Kyle: $9,375 cash and trip
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
On her second spin of this round, Tammy lands on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. After putting up the S for $1,000, she doesn't take the $800 plunge (bad move -- that had the $10,000). Later, she gets the Wild Card w/ an R. Soon enough...
I ' _ / S T U D _ I N G
G E R _ A N
_ _ O _ O _ A T E
_ A _ E
...she says "I'M STUDYING GERMAN" CHOCOLATE CAKE for $2,550, despite pausing after the word GERMAN.
PERFECT ROUND!
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Tammy: $2,550 and WC
Angie: $2,000
Kyle: $9,375 cash and trip
========
$3,000 Tossup - TV TITLE

DUDS: A (Angie), R (Kyle)
BANKRUPT HIT: Tammy (she loses $1,200 and the WC to the one next to $5,000)
Round 5 - OCCUPATION
After Kyle starts this round off with a T, we go into speed-up mode with this setup:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ T _ _ _
All of the remaining consonants are worth $1,300 each.
_ R _ _ _ S S _ _ N _ L
