EPISODE #5269 - VENETIAN WEEK (LAS VEGAS)
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE
_ L _ _ E / _ O _ R
_ _ T _ !
For those of you who are gambling on which player will win tonight, Shavontae tells you to PLACE YOUR BETS! Thursday's gamblers...
Shavontae Avery: a banker who attends the College of Southern Nevada for dental assisting classes from North Las Vegas (originally from Summerville, SC)
Kris Kilmer: stay-at-home mom from Lake Forest, IL
Jon Miele: business manager from Rochester, NH
$2,000 Tossup - OCCUPATION
G _ _ _ _ _ _
_ E _ I G _ E R
Shavontae is two for two with GRAPHIC DESIGNER.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: from Premier Tours, a safari tour of Botswana worth $10,880 (this is the most expensive prize placed on the Wheel for single-player games so far this season)
Jackpot Round - EVENT
Early on, Shavontae gets $1,500 worth of N's via FP. After some work, she BANKRUPTS to give back $1,800. Kris then BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side. Later on, Kris misses with an H while on the safari. Jon then fills in the E's while on FP. Two spins later, he hits LAT. Next, Shavontae lands on the Jackpot space and lights up the B's. The board now reads...
R I B B _ N -
C U T T I N G
C E R E _ _ N _
SET OFF THOSE FIREWORKS -- she solves RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY to become the first Jackpot winner of the season at $8,950! In addition to an extra grand, she's racked up $9,950 that round!
DUDS: S (Jon), P (Shavontae), H (Kris)

Get ready, guys and gals -- it's time for the Season 28 debut of our other NEW CATEGORY!
Round 2 - WHAT'S THAT SONG?
For the first time since Season 25, the $3,000 bonus question is in play after somebody solves the puzzle.
Kris and Jon immediately BANKRUPT back-to-back (the former landed on the same one she hit in the Jackpot Round; that's her second overall). Soon enough, Shavontae goes for a quick solve...
_ _ O W / W _ E _ / _ O
_ O _ _ / ' E _
_ _ O W / W _ E _ / _ O
_ O _ _ / ' E _
She's right with KNOW WHEN TO HOLD 'EM KNOW WHEN TO FOLD 'EM for $1,700, but she has no guess for the $3K. The song was Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler".
BANKRUPT HITS: 2 (Kris, Jon)
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Jon: $0
Shavontae: $14,650
Kris: $0

Mystery Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (PRIZE PUZZLE)
This is the fourth straight night we have a PP for this category.
Jon picks up the Wild Card with a G. But he then gives that up as well as $700 to a BANKRUPT; that's two BANKRUPTS so far for this guy. We get to Kris, and she lands on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. She fills in the T's, and turns down the $3K offer...it's $10,000! But she then misses with an R. Towards the end, Jon picks up the safari with two P's. Soon enough, the board reads...
P O S T I N G
_ A _ A T I O N
P H O T O S / O N L I N E
After solving this puzzle for $2,700 and the safari, he'll be POSTING VACATION PHOTOS ONLINE of his two trips, the other of which is to the Aventura Cove Palace in CANCUN worth $5,546! He's on the board in a big way with $19,126!

He probably didn't have a drink served with a WEDGE OF LIME, so he's NOT the second straight $45,000 winner. But he leaves with $31,126 cash and trips.
