Let's see if we can rebound from a DISASTROUS first week of 2011 with a week that's hopefully "Picture Perfect" for big winnings.
The animated intro shows Pat taking a picture of Vanna modeling Mt. Rushmore before he turns the photo over to reveal the show's logo.
For the first time ever, this show has its first female announcer! Her name is Lora Cain.

Round 2 - BEFORE AND AFTER
Matt immediately BANKRUPTS while Kacie hits LAT. Sharmayne loses $1,800 to BANKRUPT after starting with four T's. We immediately get back to her after the other players call back-to-back duds in N and L. Late in the round, Sharmayne calls M for MDW. After filling in some vowels, here's the board...
H I T / M E / _ I T H
_ O _ _ / B E S T
S H O T
O _ / E S _ _ E S S O
The first half is a Pat Benatar song, and she solves "HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT" OF ESPRESSO for $3,100 and possession of the MDW.

After a moderate amount of work, Kacir BANKRUPTS to give up $2,600. Sharmayne next picks up the Wild Card with two N's and then cashes in $7,000 with a pair of G's. The board at this point...
_ A N _ E R S
_ E A R _ N G
G R A S S / S _ _ R _ S
She solves DANCERS WEARING GRASS SKIRTS for $7K, and a trip to the Outrigger Reef on the Beach in OAHU worth $6,343; she wins $13,343 that round.
