(This will be my last recap on here before I'm off to Atlanta for a one-week vacation.)
Last night, Hillary Light became our second $100,000 winner of the season after quickly solving BRAINS AND BRAWN! It was previously used on January 24, 2006 that made $100,000 winners out of Babette Dominguez & Bob Griese during NFL Players Week! What will happen tonight as we finish off "National Parks"?
(Keep in mind, though, that this is the second week in a row on this particular set that Rich Fields had to do post-production duty.)
$1,000 Tossup - ON THE MAP

Doug solves GLACIER BAY. And now, our players for tonight...

Doug's two for two w/ MALLARD DUCK.
NP ON THE WHEEL: to Denali NP & Preserve in Alaska worth $6,800
[b]Jackpot Round - BEFORE AND AFTER[/b]
Doug immediately BANKRUPTS. Andi buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (E). Next, Doug cashes in $5,000 w/ two R's, but he hits LAT on his next spin. Valarie next picks up the Wild Card w/ a Y as well as the Coleman gift tag w/ an L. Soon after that, she misses w/ a D. Andi BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to give up $350. That allows Doug to go for the solve...
_ O T / O N / Y O _ R
T R A I L
_ I _
He's right w/ HOT ON YOUR TRAIL MIX for $4,750.

Round 2 - PHRASE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
After some work, Valarie BANKRUPTS on the same side of the MDW as Andi to give back the WC as well as $600. Speaking of Andi, she picks things up from here...
T H E R E ' S / N O
O T H E R / _ _ _ _ E
I ' _ / R _ T H E R / _ E
She solves THERE'S NO OTHER PLACE I'D RATHER BE for $5,100...and a trip to The Buccaneer in ST. CROIX, making her total this round $12,700.

Round 4 - QUOTATION
Doug immediately BANKRUPTS. A little later, Valarie lights up the A on FP, and then cashes in $10,000 w/ two H's. After some work, it's time for speed-up mode...
T H E / T _ I _ E
H A _ / _ _ _ _ E _
Each of the remaining consonants are worth $1,800 each. Valarie's next call in N...
T H E / T _ I _ E
H A _ / _ _ _ _ E N
...but she still CAN'T solve for $12,900 and the comeback victory. Two turns later, Doug calls the R...
T H E / T R I _ E

You always hear this during Tribal Council on the TV show "Survivor" and Doug nails "THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN" for another $1,800.
