Last night, Paul Larsen became the first player since December 16, 2010 (and all year long) to win the big one of $100,000 (third of the season)! He's also the first male grand prize winner all season long! It's gonna be tough to follow that up, but let's see what tonight's players can do as we start Day 3 of "Fabulous Food" week from New Orleans.
$1,000 Tossup - FOOD AND DRINK
_ _ _ F O _ D
_ _ _ _ _
Stephen quickly gets on the board first with SEAFOOD GUMBO. Let's get some details on him and the female opposition...
Stephen Occhipinti: movie theater projectionist and food lover from Kenner, LA
Rebekah Smith: 3rd grade teacher from NO
Susan Jong Pate: optometrist from St. Francisville, LA
$2,000 Tossup - OCCUPATIONS
_ A _ T E R / &
_ _ _ T R E S S
Stephen is 2 for 2 with WAITER & WAITRESS.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: trip to Vermont at the Essex hotel worth $5,200
Jackpot Round - PHRASE
In the middle of the round, Stephen lands on Jackpot and calls two Y's, but he doesn't make the $7,000 Jackpot solve. He then picks up the Wild Card with two T's. Towards the end, he lights up three E's via FP. He dominates...
_ E _ S T / Y O U R
E Y E S / O N / T _ _ S
...and solves FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS for $2,900.
PERFECT ROUND!
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $7800

Stephen: $5,900 + WC
Both ladies: $0 each

Round 2 - LIVING THINGS (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Early on, Rebekah picks up the Gourmet Gift Baskets gift tag with a pair of T's. She fills in most of the puzzle, but then BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to give up $8,000 cash and gift tag. Ouch. Soon enough...
