Things have NOT gone very well for this edition of "Halloween Week", especially what happened last night (Karmin Prentice becoming the season's third $100,000 loser). We have two chances left to find a Bonus Round winner, as we start Day 5 of said theme week.
$1,000 Tossup - PLACE
P U _ _ _ _ N
P A _ C H
Adam solves PUMPKIN PATCH. Thursday's players...
Adam Lagnese: NYPD police officer and ice hockey player (28 yrs) from Bellmore, NY

M _ _ A G _ R
Brittany solves SALES MANAGER.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: for the second time this week, it's the Sony electronics package (w/ "WOF" on Nintendo Wii) worth $5,000
Jackpot Round - PHRASE
Late in the round, Phyllis lights up the I on FP, but she then BANKRUPTS for a $1,500 loss. Adam also lands on FP, and puts up the A. One spin later, he faces this...
H O M E - _ I E L D
A D _ A N T A _ E
He solves the sports term HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE for the house minimum.
DUDS: R (Brittany), S (Phyllis), P (Adam), C (Brittany)
BANKRUPT HIT: Phyllis
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $11,600
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Adam and Brittany: $2K each

========
Round 2 - EVENT (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Late in the round, Adam cashes in $3,500 with a W. He then picks up the Wild Card with two V's. The board now reads...
A / W E L L -
D E S E R V E D
V A _ A T I O N
After solving this puzzle for $5,700, he's won A WELL-DESERVED VACATION to the Sunshine Suites Resort on the GRAND CAYMAN ISLANDS worth $7,400; that round's worth $13,100 to him.
TRIP SPIN ID: KN2170578 (Karen N. of Colorado)
LAT HIT: Phyllis (second spin)
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Adam: $15,100 + WC
Brittany: $2K
Phyllis: $0
========
Mystery Round - WHAT'S THAT SONG?
T _ E _ ' _ E
_ _ E E _ _ / _ _ _
T _ E _ ' _ E
_ _ _ _ _
Adam dominates and quickly solves THEY'RE CREEPY AND THEY'RE KOOKY for $1,350. He wins another $3,000 for knowing that those lyrics come from the theme song of "The Addams Family", so this round is worth $4,350 to him.
PERFECT ROUND!
Pre-Tossup #3 Scores:
Adam: $19,450 + WC
Brittany: $2K
Phyllis: $0
========
$3,000 Tossup - SHOW BIZ

Round 4 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
After the -ING gets filled in, speed-up mode commences with the following...
_ _ N _ _ I N G / _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I _
All remaining consonants are worth $1,500 each.
R _ N _ _ I N G / M _
M _ M _ _ R S H I P
Despite filling in the M's, Brittany has NOTHING, so she likely lost another $10,500.
R _ N _ _ I N G / M _
M _ M B _ R S H I P
Phyllis solves RENEWING MY MEMBERSHIP for her first and only $3,000.
DUDS:

Starting setup...

Adam goes with CDMI first, and then makes his WC choice P...
_ _ _ D
_ R I E _
GOOD GRIEF -- he CAN'T solve this puzzle for the Eclipse (third time this week it goes unclaimed). He leaves with $19,450 cash and trip, and we're in DEEP TROUBLE of having our first BR SHUTOUT of the season.
