A / C A T /_ A _

========
Jackpot Round - FUN AND GAMES (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Gary BANKRUPTS at the start. Emerald picks up the PETCO gift tag w/ four N's (the $1K is donated to Mutts & Stuff in St. Louis). She misses w/ an L. Miriam picks up the Free Spin w/ an H, but she uses it immediately after hitting LAT. Later, she lights up the K on Jackpot. Here's what we have right now...
S I N K I N G / _ _
T _ E S / I N
T H E / S A N D
We have our first Jackpot win of Season 26! She solves SINKING MY TOES IN THE SAND for a total of $11,000 (including an $8,000 pot)...and a trip to the Presidente CANCUN Resort worth $5,400, giving her $16,400 that round!
SOLE DUD: L (Emerald)
BANKRUPT: Gary
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Miriam: $19,400
Gary: $0
Emerald: $1K + WC
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Emerald calls an instant dud in S. Miriam BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side to lose $250. Gary hits that same BANKRUPT to forfeit $850 (that's his third one of the night). Emerald picks up that MDW w/ two G's. Later, she lands on the Mystery Wedge next to LAT and calls for the C's. No way is she risking $3,400 and both of those valuable pieces of cardboard (she would have gotten it, though). After finishing off the vowels...
C R E A M / _ U _ _
T H E / M A G I C
D R A G O N
She solves CREAM PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON for $3,150.
SOLE DUD: S (Emerald)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Miriam, Gary)
Pre-Tossup #3 Scores
Miriam: $19,400
Gary: $0
Emerald: $4,150 + WC + MDW
========
$3,000 Tossup - THINGS
L O _ _ - T E R M
_ O _ L S
Emerald's fulfilling her LONG-TERM GOALS; she now has $7,150
Round 4 - FOOD AND DRINK
After some regular gameplay, speed-up mode commences w/ the remaining consonants worth $1,900 each. That means NO CHANCE for Emerald to win this game. Once we hear Miriam light up the S's...
S _ _ N _ C _
S _ L _ _
She solves SPINACH SALAD for $4,200 and the win!
DUDS (both before speed-up): T (Miriam), R, (Emerald)

Category: PHRASE
Her starting board...
_ ' _
S _ E _ T _ _ _ L
That L didn't want to be revealed at the start, huh? Anyway, Miriam calls very good choices in I, H, P and C...
I ' _
S _ E P T I C _ L
I'M (not) SKEPTICAL at all, because she easily solves this puzzle to become the second Mitsubishi Outlander of the week! That gives her $53,735 cash and prizes to take home!
(NOTE: Pat incorrectly announced her total as $51,835.)
