Mystery Round - PHRASE
Greg starts w/ the letters spelling THE, but then says S for sorry while on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. Maryanne secondly puts up two R's for $1,800, but the sole dud vowel of A bites her. Grace FPs triple I's, takes $7,000 worth of double G's...
G I _ I N G / I T
_ N E / H _ N _ R E _ / &
T E N / _ E R _ E N T

Pre-Round 3 Scores
Maryanne: $1K
Grace: $11,250

...she's pocketed $8,400 cash and gift tag plus the chance to be SEEING THE SIGHTS ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP, a $5K vegas.com trip w/ a 1-night stay at The Bellagio. Her total that round is $13,400 cash and prizes.

PERFECT ROUND!

$3,000 Tossup - AROUND THE HOUSE
B O T _ _ E
O _ E _ _ _
Greg solves BOTTLE OPENER, bringing him up to $5K.
Round 4 - THINGS (full $1,800 speed-up round)
It's possible that Greg might win this game if things mostly go his way. After starting w/ the S, he gives a hilarious answer of BASIC TRAINING (the solution of the first Tossup), so I won't officially declare that as a DQ. But when we get to the point where he says M...
_ _ L _ _ M - _ _ L L _ _
_ _ L L _ _ N S
...he barely beats the buzzer w/ HELIUM-FILLED BALLOONS for $12,600 and the comeback win!

FINAL SCORES
Maryanne: $14,400 cash and prizes
Grace: $11,250
Greg: $17,600
TOTAL MAINGAME WINNINGS: $43,250
========
$100,000 Bonus Round
Let's see what Greg can do. He lands on the I in SPIN.
Category: THING
This should be a familiar one to some of you when Vanna first lights up the following...
_ _ N _
_ _ _ E R
G, C, M and O don't add much...
_ _ N _
O _ _ E R
He only says the second word under his breath, so he won't be taking this KIND OFFER of $45,000. That sends him away w/ $17,600.
At the end, Pat gives all three spouses the Sony Tablets at center stage. Also, Maryanne gets the surprise of her life as Andrew comes out from behind the puzzleboard!

And great that he finished his solve even with the buzzer sounding. Glad that Pat emphasized the rule so hopefully less contestants make that kind of mistake.
