It's the finale of "Great American Cities", and this extra episodes week has been very excruciating like the one to begin 2011. And we may very well get our third BONUS ROUND SHUTOUT of this season, unless one of our three players can get us out of this mess.
Tonight, we're on the set of "Picture Perfect", meaning the car available is the Dodge Challenger.
$1,000 Tossup - ON THE MAP (last time this week)
_ _ A _ T _ _
W _ S _ _ N G _ O N
It's the home of MLB's Mariners and the NFL's Sehawks, and Steven knows that's SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. Friday's bios are...
Steven Darroh: A UT-Austin part-time student & part-time speech therapy clinic worker from Austin, TX
Marisa Haire: sophomore at the Illinois Institute of Technology studying chemical engineering from Chicago (originally from East Greenwich, RI)
Lauren Connor: executive assistant for a consulting firm & makeup artist from NYC

_ C O U _
Marisa solves TALENT SCOUT.
AMERICAN TRIP ON THE WHEEL: to the Union Station Hotel in Nashville worth $5,974
Jackpot Round - THINGS
Early on, Marisa picks up the MDW with two T's, but then comes the only bad vowel (E) of this puzzle. Later, she picks up the Wild Card with an R. Soon enough, the board reads...
_ A M I L I A R
_ _ O T A T I O N S
Marisa solves FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS for the house minimum, and keeps both of those cardboard pieces.
