Last week was NOT so hot as we suffered the first BR SHUTOUT all season long. Let's hope the final week of the "Thanks a Million" sweepstakes goes much better as we salute the "Great Northwest".
EPISODE #5251 - GREAT NORTHWEST
$1,000 Tossup - LIVING THING
_ _ I _ Z _ Y
_ _ A _
Chris solves GRIZZLY BEAR. The first panel of the week...

Jackpot Round - SONG LYRICS (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Nicole immediately land on Jackpot and puts up the T for $500. She fills in most of the puzzle, but she then gets DQed for repeating the H while on the Wild Card. That allows Karena...

Round 2 - BEFORE AND AFTER
Karena immediately picks up the Sierra Trading Post gift tag with a T, but she then BANKRUPTS between $900 and $600 to give it right back. When we get back to her, she picks up the WC with a trio of N's, but then duds out with an L. Chris follows suit by picking up the Washington trip with a pair of N's, but next is LAT. Nicole inserts a $7K M pairing and buys the O's...

We wrap things up with a look at the "Wheel" replica at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle when the show was on location in said city.
