EPISODE #5589 - BIG MONEY WEEK
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE
L I _ I N _ / O _
_ A S Y / _ _ _ E E T
Andrew isn't LIVING ON EASY STREET, but he's on the board first among these people...
Andrew Racho: graphic designer from Burbank, CA (originally from Stamford, CT)
Susan Dellio: interactive marketing manager for a Boston financial services firm from Quincy, MA
Lindsay Bowman: title clerk at a motorcycle dealership and an aspiring country music artist who's part of the group Smoke 'N Guns from Nashville
$2,000 Tossup - FOOD AND DRINK
G _ _ _ _ _ D
S _ O R _ _ I S H
Susan takes a bite out of this GRILLED SWORDFISH, so she's spinning first.
FEATURED PRIZE: Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Village, CA worth $5,790
Jackpot Round - QUOTATION
Right away, Susan BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side. Lindsay's second in line w/ $4K worth of T's. Shortly after that, she goes for a quick solve...
_ L L / T H _ T
_ L _ T T _ _ _
_ _ / _ _ T / _ _ L _
She says "ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD" for $5,750.
BANKRUPT: Susan
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $6,650
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Susan: $2K
Lindsay: $5,750
Andrew: $1K
========
Mystery Round - SAME NAME
Lindsay immediately picks up both halves of the KIA Soul w/ N and D, respectively (the first one she got was from the blue $500). She also picks up the Wild Card w/ two R's. But after filling in more than half of the puzzle, she buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (O); that might cost her $16,350 cash and Soul. Andrew doesn't do any better w/ the BANKRUPT next to $3,500. Susan narrows the puzzle down to this...
B L U E B E R R Y
A N D / _ A _ T H
H I L L
She solves BLUEBERRY AND FAITH HILL for $3,400.
EDIT ALERT: A "null" cycle was likely edited out before Lindsay's R's on the Wild Card.
SOLE AIRED DUD: O (Lindsay)
AIRED BANKRUPT: Andrew
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Susan: $5,400
Lindsay: $5,750 + WC
Andrew: $1K
========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - SAME LETTER
Hoping for a better round, Andrew leads off w/ a T, but then gets stopped just as quickly by the sole dud vowel of A. Secondly, Susan BANKRUPTS on the other side of the MDW. Lindsay's next w/ the SL of three S's for $2,400, but then loses that amount and the WC to the MDW's left-side BANKRUPT. Shortly after that, Andrew gets shot down by the MDW's right-side BANKRUPT and gives up the remaining $550. Both he and Susan each have two BANKRUPTS to their name. Susan misses w/ the W. Towards the end, Lindsay hesitates a bit on what to do next, but she's going for the bonus trip...
S E _ L U _ E _
S N O R K E L I N G
S _ O T
She wins another $1,600 and a hotwire.com trip to a SECLUDED SNORKELING SPOT, the JW Marriott Ihilani Ko Olina in HAWAII, worth $6,110. That round was worth $7,710 to her.

_ _ _ _ I N G / T O
C O N C _ _ S I O N S
Instead of JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS, she's won another $1,550, and now stands at $15,010 cash and trip.
