Sorry for the delay of this recap. I had some circumstances beyond my control last night, but now that they're taking care of, here it is -- day 2 of "Celebrating New Orleans".
$1,000 Tossup - LANDMARK
_ A C K _ O N
_ _ U _ R E
This is a historic park in the French Quarter of New Orleans, and Ginger solves JACKSON SQUARE. Let's start the interviews with her in the blue position...
Ginger Grant: works for the Louisiana Dept. of Education as a distinguished educator and recently got her Doctorate of Education from N.O.
Glenn Day: service clerk at a local grocery store and a community college student studying fine arts from N.O.
Sara Vallory: 6th grade English/Language Arts teacher of 25 years and does some volunteer work with her students at a local animal shelter from Alexandria, LA
$2,000 Tossup - PERSON
N _ _ T - _ _ _ R
_ E I _ _ _ O _
Glenn recalls his NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR to begin the night's spinning.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: the spafinder.com trip to the Hotel Grande Brettagne in Athens, Greece worth $10,145
Jackpot Round - RHYME TIME
Glenn immediately BANKRUPTS. Sara starts with three T's for the Greece trip, but she BANKRUPTS to give it right back. Ginger then gets the same fate via the MDW's right side, so we're back to Glenn. His next spin lands him on the orange $800 when it should have been the red one (BAD EDIT ALERT), and he puts up three S's. After purchasing the E's, he loses his turn by buying the A. Sara then cashes in $5,000 with two N's. Her next spin lands her on Jackpot, and she lights up six F's. Here's the board right now...
_ _ F F E _ E N T
S T _ O _ E S / F O _
_ _ F F E _ E N T
F O _ _ S
SET OFF THOSE FIREWORKS -- she nails DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS for $7,750 and an $8,800 Jackpot (sixth win of the season), a total of $16,550 that round!

Round 2 - BEFORE AND AFTER

W A _ E - _ _
C A L L
O F / T H E / W I L D
...and then solves WAKE-UP "CALL OF THE WILD" for $4,100 cash and gift tag.

BANKRUPT HIT: Glenn
Pre-Round 3 Scores

Mystery Round - FUN AND GAMES (PRIZE PUZZLE)
After some work, Ginger misses with the T. Glenn BANKRUPTS on the other side of the MDW to give up $1,000; that's his third such hit this evening. And he called those black wedges "evil"! LOL! Sara then BANKRUPTS for the second time tonight while Ginger puts up two L's before striking out with the C. That prompts Glenn to solve...
E A _ L _ - _ O _ N I N G
S U _ _ I N G / L E S S O N
