$1,000 Tossup - SONG TITLE
_ _ N G / _ _
T H _ / _ _ _ D
Bryan solves Roger Miller's 1964 song "KING OF THE ROAD". Thursday's players are...
Bryan McElroy: actor, singer, and songwriter from NYC (originally from Chicago!)
Veronica Salinas: recruit division commander of the U.S. Navy (18 years) from Memphis, TN
Jana Wisthoff: former teacher & stay-at-home mom from Bismarck, ND
$2,000 Tossup - SHOW BIZ
M O V _ E
M _ _ _ T H _ N
Jana solves MOVIE MARATHON.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: the $5,585 Durango, CO trip (airfare provided by Orbitz)
Jackpot Round - PHRASE
Jana starts with a $500 S while on the left side of the 1/2 car wedge near the WC. A little later, she picks up the license plate of the other 1/2 car wedge (between $700 and BANKRUPT) with an N. She also nabs the MDW with four L's as well as the WC with two R's. The board now reads...
I T ' S / A L L
_ O _ N _ I L L
_ R O _ / _ E R E
She dominates and solves IT'S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE (we hope that's NOT the case) for the house minimum, the WC, the license plate, and the MDW. And here's some good news for Jana -- the license plate will NOT be taken away by BANKRUPT in either of the next two rounds! Also, two more of those license plates get placed on the wheel.
PERFECT ROUND!
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $6,300
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Bryan: $1,000
Veronica: $0
Jana: $3,000 + MDW + WC + 1/2 car
========
Round 2 - SAME NAME
Bryan immediately BANKRUPTS. Veronica gets her run going with $3,200 worth of four S's, but she buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle. A little later, Jana gets DQed for repeating that dud vowel. Two spins later, Veronica lands on the right side of the 1/2 car wedge next to BANKRUPT, but her N call is no good. Towards the end, Jana goofs with the L. Bryan then puts up the M...

...and solves BEDTIME & SUCCESS STORY for the house minimum.

DQ: Jana's A repeat
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Bryan: $2,000

Mystery Round - THINGS (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Remember, Jana has one more chance this round to get the other 1/2 car wedge and solve the puzzle to win that Hyundai Accent.
Speaking of her, she lands on the Mystery Wedge between $300 and $800 in the middle of the round and lights up a pair of C's. No way is she risking $4,600 and all that cardboard including the MDW (that had the $10,000, however). Two spins later, she picks up the Colorado trip with an M. She then cashes in another $3,000 while on the same MW and then decides to solve...
B R I _ H _ L _
C O L O R E D
B E A C H
_ M B R E L L A S
She won't be getting that Accent, but she's right with BRIGHTLY COLORED BEACH UMBRELLAS for $8,200, the Colorado trip...and a second trip Villa del Arco Beach Resort & Spa in CABO SAN LUCAS worth $6,050! Altogether that round, $19,835 cash and trips!

Here's what going up first...

Jana's all-important picks are C, D, H, A (the puzzleboard operators prematurely lit up some of her first four choices) and M. Let's wee what they give her...
A _ T _ _ R A _ H
She nails it! But is this AUTOGRAPH really worth the big one???...
...NO. Darn. That's worth another $30,000 to her, but she's still going home with $55,835 cash and trips! She was in the right word, but the million was three spaces away (E in GAME).
