All right, let's hope my last recap of this year will end on a good note.
EPISODE #5524 - SANDALS RESORTS GOLF GETAWAY
$1,000 Tossup - THINGS
_ _ _ D I _ _ / A N D
B O _ _ _ _
Cherie solves BIRDIES AND BOGEYS. For the third time this week, we have two men competing...
Cherie Montgomery: senior manager for a health care company in the northern suburbs of Illinois from Waukegan, IL
Matt Rossiter: from Sommersville, NH; this guy says that every time he solved a puzzle on this show, his grandma would think they were watching a repeat
Joe Gilberti: youth sports coach who plays golf from Destrehan, LA
$2,000 Tossup - AROUND THE HOUSE
A I R
_ A _ T R _ _ S
Joe solves AIR MATTRESS.
Jackpot Round - SHOW BIZ
Joe starts w/ two T's for that Bahamas vacation, but then lands on LAT. Cherie's first call of H is no good. Next, Matt lands on Jackpot and puts up a trio of R's. He hits said space again two more times in a row and pus up the C's and a D. He's going to go for it...
A C T _ R - D _ R E C T _ R
_ E _ / A _ _ _ E C _
He solves ACTOR-DIRECTOR BEN AFFLECK for $10,100 (including a $7,100 pot)!
SOLE DUD: H (Cherie)
LAT: Joe
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Joe: $2K
Cherie: $1K
Matt: $10,100
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Cherie calls an instant dud in S. Secondly, Matt misses on the Wild Card w/ R. Joe puts up multiples of N's, E's and I's before dudding out w/ H. Cherie picks up the green 1/2 KIA w/ two L's, but she BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to give up her plate and $1,100. Matt picks up that other 1/2 KIA w/ the D's, and we now have...
_ I C K L E D
_ I N K
L E M O N A D E
He proves to be TICKLED PINK LEMONADE for another $3,700.
DUDS: S (Cherie), R (Matt), H (Joe)
BANKRUPT: Cherie
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Joe: $2K
Cherie: $1K
Matt: $13,800 + 1/2
========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE
Early on, Joe puts up a $3,500 T. He hits it again on the next spin and puts up the M. He keeps on going till we see...
I ' M
A B S O L U T E L _
S _ E E _ _ L E S S
He admits "I'M ABSOLUTELY SPEECHLESS", because he just won $9,050 and a $5,750 trip to the Sandals La Toc Golf Resort & Spa in ST. LUCIA, totaling $14,800 that round!
TRIP SPIN ID: JR5615943 (Joe R. -- yeah, another Joe going on the same vacation as said contestant in the red!)
SOLE DUD: N (Matt at the start)
Pre-Tossup #3 Scores
Joe: $16,800
Cherie: $1K

========
$3,000 Tossup - PEOPLE
N E W
N _ _ _ H B _ R S
Joe solves NEW NEIGHBORS, putting him $200 shy of the $20K mark.
Round 4 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (full $6,000 speed-up round!)
This is an interesting situation -- if Matt solves this puzzle for only $6K, we'll go into a Tiebreaker Tossup for the first time since early March 2006 (during "Soap Stars Week"). Let's see what we have on the board when an S is called...
_ R _ _ T _ _ _ N G
M Y / S _ _ N G
Matt solves PRACTICING MY SWING for $18K (everybody else had that same amount) and the win!
DUDS: L (Joe), F (Cherie)
FINAL SCORES

Cherie: $1K
Matt: $31,800
TOTAL MAINGAME WINNINGS: $52,600

T _ _ _
S T _ N _
CDMO gives him...
T _ _ _
S T _ N D
...but my year doesn't end well as he BLOWS IT w/ TOFU STAND and TOGA STAND. It was TAXI STAND, and he loses $35K. That sends him home w/ $31,800.
========
Bobby McBride (doing tomorrow night) and TPH will take you through the rest of this year.
MarioGS: Fixed R4 category.
