On what has been a very exciting "Leave Winter Behind" week, we've given away a NEW SEASON-HIGH WEEKLY TOTAL of $343,290 in cash and prizes! And tonight, we have a second chance this season for a PERFECT BONUS ROUND WEEK! Will it be the first such week since April 23, 2007? Let's find out right now.
$1,000 Tossup - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
_ _ T T I _ G
S A _ _
Jeff's SETTING SAIL on a quest for big winnings; he's got a grand secured. And here are the Friday players...
Jeff Davis: pastor and a coach for the 7th grade boys/8th grade girls basketball teams from Page, ND
Alicia Mariconda: global law firm worker, event planner, and church volunteer from Belleville, NJ
Rebecca Terra: HS science teacher at a private preparatory academy in Anaheim from Los Angeles (originally from Modesto, CA)

_ _ M O _ _ S
Rebecca solves ROASTED ALMONDS.
HILTON TRIP ON THE WHEEL: trip to the British Colonial Hilton in Nassau, Bahamas worth $8,900
Jackpot Round - TITLE
Alicia picks up the Bahamas trip with three Y's. On her next spin, she lands on Jackpot and calls a D, but she can't make the solve for a $7,300 pot. Two spins later, she hits LAT, possibly costing her $9,950 cash and trip (and maybe $17,750 maximum which includes a $7,800 Jackpot). Soon enough, we have...
E V E R Y / D A Y / _ I _ H
R A C H A E L / R A Y
Rebecca solves "EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY" for $1,550.
DUDS: N (Rebecca at the start), S (Jeff)

UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $9,100

Round 2 - EVENT (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Jeff does most of the puzzle before we see...
S E E _ N G / A
G A _ E / A _
_ _ _ G _ E _ / _ _ E _ D
He blows the solve with SEEING A GAME AT TARGET FIELD (that's the new home of the MLB's Minnesota Twins), so he likely squandered at least $1,900. Alicia picks up the Wild Card with a T. She narrows the puzzle down to this...
S E E I N G / A
G A M E / A T
_ _ I G L E _ / F _ E L D
After solving this puzzle for $1,450, she'll be SEEING A GAME AT WRIGLEY FIELD in Pat's and my hometown of CHICAGO! It's a $6,000 trip to the Palmer House Hotel, and she's on the board with $7,450.
