$1,000 Tossup - EVENT
_ R A N D
_ N _ R A N C E
Renee knows that Pat & Vanna make their GRAND ENTRANCE for every episode of this show. Let's meet the final players of "Big Money Week" in Las Vegas...
Renee Mahgrarefteh: 2nd grade teacher working on her Master's Degree in elementary education from Encino, CA
Sally Faez: office manager from Allen, TX
DJ Haun: Northwestern Univ. graduate & 5th grade teacher from North Vegas (originally from Grandville, IL)
$2,000 Tossup - TITLE
P E _ N _ _ S / _ R O M
H _ A V E _
Sally solves PENNIES FROM HEAVEN.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: the $5,000 Hayneedle.com shopping spree
Jackpot Round - FOOD AND DRINK
After starting with four T's and an O, Sally misses with an N. DJ goes BANKRUPT for a $250 loss. Renee purchases the only bad vowel of this puzzle (A), which would be repeated by Sally. DJ BANKRUPTS again (via the MDW's right side) to give back $300. A little later, Sally lands on Jackpot, lights up two B's...
H O T
B _ T T E R _ I L _
B I S C _ I T S
...and then solves HOT BUTTERMILK BISCUITS for the fourth Jackpot win of the season at $9,550! In addition to her $3,300, she's racked up $12,850 that round!
DUDS: N (Sally), A (Renee)

Round 2 - BEFORE AND AFTER
Let's see if DJ can have better luck in this round. Midway in the round, he picks up the Hayneedle gift tag with an M. After filling in most of the puzzle, he hits LAT to potentially cost him $6,550 cash and gift tag. Renee then picks up the Wild Card with an R. After she next fills in the S's, the board reads...
K I S S / A N D
M A K E / U _
A / S T O R Y
After solving this puzzle for $1,200, she might tell some people to KISS AND MAKE UP A STORY.
LAT HIT: DJ
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Renee: $2,200 + WC
Sally: $14,850
DJ: $0
========
Mystery Round - FUN AND GAMES (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Early on, Renee lights up the E's on FP. She then wisely uses her WC on $3,500. After calling two T's, she bags another $10,500 with three H's! She fills in most of the puzzle, but she hits LAT for the second time tonight; she likely coughed up at least $18,950. Sally BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side to lose $1,500. DJ decides to just solve...
C A T C H I N _ / A
_ R I _ _ E E / O N
T H E / _ E A C H
He'll likely be CATCHING A FRISBEE ON THE BEACH at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort in THE BAHAMAS worth $5,800.
