Things are NOT going well this week, especially what happened last night. Sarah Baxley won $15K cash and trip, but COMPLETELY BOMBED her $100,000 opportunity, resulting in the first grand prize loss of the season. We really need some serious winning the rest of the week, especially tonight (Day 3 at the Palazzo).
$1,000 Tossup - the all-new SAME LETTER
_ A P A C I T Y
_ R O W D
The CAPACITY CROWD applauds Ronny for solving this puzzle. Wednesday's players consists of...
Ronny Madrigal: auto mechanic from Brooklyn, NY
Theresa Pair: train runner from Jacksonville, FL
Katie Whitsett: middle school math teacher from Dallas, TX
$2,000 Tossup - MOVIE TITLE
_ _ _
_ - _ _ _ M
Katie solves THE A-TEAM very quickly.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: a Blount Small Ship Adventure in the Virgin Islands worth $9,118
Jackpot Round - FOOD AND DRINK
Right away, Katie BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side. Ronny then misses on said wedge with an R. Next, Theresa picks up the ebags.com gift tag with two C's. Shortly comes a dud of B out of her mouth. Soon enough, the board reads...
L I N G _ I N E / _ I _ _
C L A _ / _ A _ C E
Katie solves LINGUINE WITH CLAM SAUCE for $1,300. Too bad this wasn't a Prize Puzzle, because that would have yielded a trip to Italy.
DUDS: R (Ronnie), B (Theresa)
BANKRUPT HIT: Katie
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $7,200
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Theresa: $0
Katie: $3,300

Round 2 - PHRASE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Ronny instantly misses with an N while on $3,500. Later, Katie BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side for the second time tonight. Theresa calls C for cruise, but she then purchases the only bad vowel of this puzzle (A) to leave at least $11,518 cash and vacations on the table. Katie gets control back...
I / W I L L / B E
O _ T / O _ / T H E
O _ _ I C E
With another $700 in her bank, she will say I WILL BE OUT OF THE OFFICE to her colleagues because she's going on a $6,000 caravan.com tour of COSTA RICA. She's won $6,700 that round.
