Last week was a very rough one as we got ourselves not one but TWO $100,000 losses, even though we got two BR wins. With 1/3 of the season remaining, will we finally get a grand prize winner? Let's find out as we start "Weekend Getaways".
EPISODE #5591 - WEEKEND GETAWAYS
$1,000 Tossup - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
_ L _ _ N I _ _ / M Y
E S C _ P _
While I'm PLANNING MY ESCAPE to Houston this summer, Heidi gets on the board w/ that solve. Tonight's players...
Heidi Ambrozaitis: Spanish teacher at Monty Tech HS from Fitchburg, MA (originally from VT)
Jeff Neely: process operator for a snake cake from Ooltewah, TN
Asia Ahmonuel: manager of enrollment services for a health care advocacy firm from Burbank
$2,000 Tossup - PEOPLE

Heidi just makes it in time w/ the second word of LIFELONG FRIENDS.
FEATURED WEEKEND GETAWAY: the JW Marriott Desert Springs Palm Desert worth $5,165
Jackpot Round - QUOTATION
This Week's Category Wipe: Some kind of car related to the theme
Heidi and Jeff instantly BANKRUPT next to $2,500 back-to-back. Asia picks up the Palm Springs trip w/ two T's and the green 1/2 KIA w/ two R's on back-to-back spins. Next is three M's for $7,500. Shortly after that, she puts up two D's while on Jackpot. After a lot of work, she buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (U), possibly losing the plate as well as $14,125 cash and Palm Springs. Heidi then picks up the other 1/2 KIA w/ two S's. After she spins one more time for the P, here's what the board reads...
T O / D R E A M / T H E
_ M P O S S _ _ _ E
D R E A M
She solves "TO DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM" ("Man of La Mancha") for $1,300.

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
In the middle of the round, Jeff FPs a $500 N, and picks up the Wild Card w/ a W. He goes for the solve at this point...
_ O R N / T O / _ _
W _ _ _
O A T S
He's correct w/ "BORN TO BE WILD" OATS for $1,950.
PERFECT ROUND!
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Asia: $0
Heidi: $4,300 + 1/2 KIA
Jeff: $1,950 + WC
========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - THINGS
Asia loses control right away w/ the same BANKRUPT that her opponents got. Secondly, Hedi fills in four R's, but then N for negative. Jeff's next w/ a $400 W, but the then BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side to lose that amount and the WC; that's his second such hit of the evening. Asia tries again w/ two T's and an E, but then a decoy in D. Heidi later gets bitten by the only dud vowel of this puzzle (I). Once Jeff fails to capitalize on $3,500 w/ an M, Asia puts up the L's...
A / F _ L L
A R R A Y / O F
W A T E R S P O R T S
