Haven't been here in this sub-board a while, but I shall continue on w/ my road to recovery.
EPISODE #4898 - ULTIMATE ADVENTURES
$1,000 Tossup - EVENT
A M E R _ _ A ' S
_ _ _
Jouya solves the yachting event AMERICA'S CUP, so we're interviewing him first...

Mary Fox: insurance agent from Cape Coral, FL
Cassandra Raskin: rocket scientist from Pasadena, CA
$2,000 Tossup - PLACE
A I _ _ _ _ T
_ O U _ _ _
Jouya's two for two w/ AIRPORT LOUNGE.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: trip to the Buccaneer Hotel in St. Croix w/ a scuba diving adventure worth $9,215
Round 1 - SHOW BIZ
After back-to-back duds by Jouya and Mary early on, Cassandra picks up the MDW with the H, but she misses with L. We later get to this...
I M A _ / M _ _ I E
T H E A T E R
Cassandra solves IMAX MOVIE THEATER to keep the MDW and $1,550.
DUDS: S (Jouya), N (Mary), L (Cassandra), C (Jouya), D (Mary)
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Jouya: $3K
Mary: $0
Cassandra: $1,550 + MDW
========
Round 2 - PHRASE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Early on, Mary picks up the Garmin gift tag and lights up the T. She also picks up the Free Spin with an L, but she's forced to use it immediately because of a LAT hit. She later gets to this...
M Y / L _ C _ / _ _
A _ O _ T / T O
C H A N _ E
She says "MY LUCK IS ABOUT TO CHANGE" for $3,800 cash and gift tag...and a trip to the MGM Grand Hotel in LAS VEGAS worth $5,200; she's on the board w/ $9K.
LAT HIT: Mary
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Jouya: $3K
Mary: $9K
Cassandra: $1,550 and MDW
========
Mystery Round - QUOTATION
In the middle of the round, Cassandra lands on one of the Mystery Wedges. After calling for an S, she obviously declines a $1,950 and MDW risk (very wise move; that's the BANKRUPT one). She also picks up the St. Croix trip with an H. Towards the end, she lights up the B's for $7K. Here's what we have now...
T O / B O L _ L _ / _ O
W H E R E / N O / M A N
H A S / _ O N E
B E F O R E
She dominates and solves "TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE" for $13,200 and the trip, a total of $22,415 that round!
PERFECT ROUND!

In the middle of the round, Jouya lights up two F's for $10K, but we have to go to speed-up mode w/ the following setup...
T H E / _ E T R _ F _ E _
F _ R E S T
The leftover consonants are worth $1,600 each. His next call is the P...
T H E / P E T R _ F _ E _

She shows some CHARISMA for the win! But is she the first-ever millionaire on the program?...
...NO. But she does win the $50,000, and exits w/ $73,965 cash and trip! Very nicely done!
