PERFECT ROUND!
Pre-Round 2 Scores

========
Jackpot Round - FUN AND GAMES (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Nina lands on Jackpot and puts up the T (Jackpot was at $6,800). After a lot of work, she says D for dud while on the Wild Card. Nykky picks up that coveted MDW w/ a K, but then comes L for loss of turn. After that, Dan decides to go for the mystery trip...
B A S _ I N G / I N
T H E /_ A _ M
S U N S H I N E
He'll be BASKING IN THE WARM SUNSHINE at the Hilton BARBADOS worth $6,820.
DUDS: D (Nina), L (Nykky)
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Dan: $19,020
Nina: $1K
Nykky: $0
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Nykky immediately duds out w/ S. Dan secondly lands on the Mystery Wedge next to LAT and lights up three N's. He turns down the $3K...for the $10K! But he loses that and a $50 to BANKRUPT. Later, Nykky picks up the WC w/ two D's, but then misses w/ M while on the other MW. Once Dan purchases the E, here's the setup...
I R O N I N G
B O A R D / O _
E D _ _ A T I O N
I don't think there's such an organization called the IRONING BOARD OF EDUCATION, but Dan gets it right for the house minimum.
DUDS: S (Nykky), L (Nina), M (Nykky)
BANKRUPT: Dan
Pre-Tossup #3 Scores
Dan: $20,020

========
$3,000 Tossup - RHYME TIME
_ _ _ / R E _ L
_ E A _
This is THE REAL DEAL -- Nykky finally breaks through for her first $3K.
Round 4 - PERSON
Nykky gets an early taste of LAT. Dan puts up more letters, but we shift into speed-up mode...
_ _ E R N _ _ _ T
S _ _ _ E S S
...and the remaining consonants are worth $1,300 each.
_ _ E R N _ _ H T
S U C C E S S
Nina isn't necessarily an OVERNIGHT SUCCESS, but she does solve this puzzle for $2,600.
FINAL SCORES
Dan: $20,020 cash and trips
Nina: $3,600
Nykky: $3K and a worthless WC
TOTAL MAINGAME WINNINGS: $26,620
========
$100,000 Bonus Round

C, P, G and O give him...
P E _ C _
_ _ _ _
He only gets the first word of PEACH FUZZ, and he's the second straight $30K loser. That sends him home w/ $20,020 cash and trips.
