It's been very hard for Pat and Vanna to give away big winnings so far this week. Let's see what Day 3 of "Get out of Town" brings us...
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE
_ O _ _ D S
_ I K _ / _ U N
This game SOUNDS LIKE FUN, and David's the first to get on the board. Here are Wednesday's players...
David Bryan: cleaning equipment business owner & voice-over actor from Ft. Worth, TX (he even wants Charlie O'Donnell's job!
)
Edith Conde-Rekers: financial services company project manager from Irvine, CA
Teresa Jester: research chemist for an independent health research institute & Girl Scouts leader from Wake Forest, NC
$2,000 Tossup - THING
S T A T _ S
S Y M _ _ _
David is two for two with STATUS SYMBOL.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: from BedandBreakfast.com, a trip to the Inn at Bowman's Hill in New Hope, PA worth $7,123
Jackpot Round - SAME LETTER
(BTW, Charlie was moved to a different announcing room due to some technical difficulties.)
David lands on Jackpot and fills in three W's. The board at this point...
W A L L A / W A L L A
W A S _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Everybody living in WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON will be hearing those fireworks because he dominates and solves this puzzle for $2,750 and a $6,100 Jackpot (third such win this season), a total of $8,850 that round!
PERFECT ROUND!
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Teresa: $0
David: $11,850
Edith: $0
========
Round 2 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Edith does some work, but she hits LAT. Teresa then calls T for trip. She fills in most of the puzzle, but squanders at least $10,823 cash and trip by calling for an L on the BedandBreakfast.com gift tag. David gets the same bad space as Edith. Speaking of Edith, she decides to solve...
A _ _ I N G / F O R
M O R E / V A C A T I O N
D A _ _
After solving this puzzle for $1,200, she'll be ASKING FOR MORE VACATION DAYS because she's off to the CasaMagna Marriott Resort & Spa in PUERTO VALLARTA worth $6,174; she's on the board with $7,374.

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Teresa immediately misses with an N on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. Next, David picks up the Wild Card with an S. He then lands on the other MW, and puts up the T's. He takes the risk... but that's the one with BANKRUPT, so goodbye WC. Edith breezes through the rest of the round...
_ A _ I L _
H E I R L _ _ _

...and solves FAMILY HEIRLOOM TOMATOES for $1,100.

_ _ _ _ _ _
All of the consonants are worth $1,450 each.

Starting setup...
_ / _ _ _ E
_ _ _ _ R
Edith's choices are C, K, H and A...
A / H _ _ E
_ A _ _ R
She's wrong thinking the second word was HOPE. Because she didn't do me A HUGE FAVOR in solving this puzzle, she loses $30,000. That sends her home with $16,724 cash and trip.
