Mike...goofs with TREASURE BAY, so we have our second UNSOLVED TOSSUP of the season. It was TREASURE MAP. Anyway, let's meet the first players this week...
Glynis Tatum: real estate broker from Springfield, MO
Mike Waite: marketer and musician from Los Angeles
Rashna Charania: assistant manager at a university club from Victoria, BC
Remember Zareen Charania from earlier this year (January 25th episode)? That was Ryan Hinton's (Season 26 contestant) sister-in-law. Rashna is Ryan's mother-in-law!

Glynis solves MUST-SEE MOVIE.
FEATURED HIDEAWAY: from South Pacific Custom Travel, a trip to the Taveuni Island Resort & Spa in Fiji worth $9,835
Jackpot Round - RHYME TIME
Early on, Glynis FPs a single, but she then BANKRUPTS next to $2,500 for an $800 loss. Second, Mike picks up $5,000 with a pair of S's, but he then misses with an L. Third, Rashna calls up two pairs of T's and H's, but she buys a dud vowel in O. We quickly return to her after the other players strike out w/ M and I, respectively. Once she buys the remaining U's...
T H E / _ U N / H A S
_ U S T / _ E _ U N
THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN for her, as she solves this one for $2,200.

Round 2 - PLACE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Mike starts with an instant BANKRUPT next to $3,500. Second, Rashna inserts four T's, buys five E's and picks up the Fiji trip with two H's. She fills in most of the puzzle, but she buys a bad vowel in A to let at least $12,835 cash and trip go to waste. Third, Glynis FPs the I's, then BANKRUPTS next to $3,500; that's her second of the night. Mike thinks he knows the solution...
O N E / O F / T H E
_ E _ T / _ I T I E _
I N / T H E / _ O _ _ _
...he'll be visiting ONE OF THE BEST CITIES IN THE WORLD...it's NEW YORK CITY at the Kimberly Hotel (includes tickets to "Perfect Crime") worth $8,090.

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Early on, Rashna picks up the WC with four N's. After some work, she misses with an R. Secondly, Glynis lights up a few letters, but then misses w/ H. Third, Mike lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. He fills in the F's and wants the $5K for them (good move -- that's the BANKRUPT one). Afterwards...
_ N _ D E N T _ F _ E D
F _ _ _ N _
O B _ E _ T / O F
_ _ / A F F E _ T _ O N
...he blows the solve with UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT OF AN AFFECTION. Rashna next lands on the other MW. She puts up the C's...but DOESN'T take a $2,200 risk. Here's what we have now...
_ N _ D E N T _ F _ E D

Round 4 - PHRASE
Early on, Glynis puts up the I while on FP, but she then BANKRUPTS (her third of the night) next to $5,000 for a $2,500 loss. Mike next hits that same spot as Glynis. After most of the puzzle gets filled in, speed-up mode commences with the following...
_ O _ / T H A T ' S
