Jackpot Round - OCCUPATION
This Week's Category Wipe: golden dollar sign
Megan does a little work before saying a negative in G. Michael secondly says S while on the MDW, but that's also a dud. Crystal's next w/ three T's for the Omaha Steaks gift tag, but then runs into LAT trouble. Back to Megan who puts up an L while on Jackpot. A few letters later...
_ E R T I _ I E D
_ _ _ L I _
A _ _ O _ N T A N T
...she solves CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT for $2,300.
DUDS: G (Megan), S (Michael)
LAT: Crystal
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $8K
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Crystal: $1K
Megan: $4,300
Michael: $0
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Early on, Michael picks up that Miami trip w/ a D. Next are three O's and an L via the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. Believe it or not, he's putting $9,175 cash and Florida at stake...BAD MOVE. A little later, Crystal puts up a $3,500 M. Towards the end, she picks up the green 1/2 KIA w/ an F. The board at this point...
L E N D / M E / Y O U R
E A R S
O F / _ O R N
She says "LEND ME YOUR EARS" OF CORN for another $7,050.
(EDIT ALERT: After Mike picked up the MW, we saw a shot of the same wedge being placed back on the wheel on Crystal's first spin of the round.)
(AIRED) BANKRUPT: Michael
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Crystal: $8,050 + 1/2 KIA
Megan: $4,300
Michael: $0
========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - EVENT
Crystal immediately duds out w/ R. Megan FPs two E's. It's all her from here...
E S C A _ I N G / _ O
A N / I S _ A N D
_ I D E A _ A _
She solves this puzzle for $3,350 and will be ESCAPING TO AN ISLAND HIDEAWAY, which happens to be the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort in ST. MAARTEN courtesy of hotwire.com worth $5,875; this round was worth $9,225 to her.
TRIP SPIN ID: MT8538299 (Misty T.)
SOLE DUD: R (Crystal)
Pre-Tossup #3 Scores
Crystal: $8,050
Megan: $13,525

========
$3,000 Tossup - FOOD AND DRINK
R E D / _ _ L _ E T
C _ _ _
Megan takes a bite out of this RED VELVET CAKE, bringing her up to $16,525.
Round 4 - PHRASE
Megan FPs four A's, but then BANKRUPTS near $5K to lose $350. Michael next lands on top dollar and hesitantly up two D's, but time's running out...
A N _ _ _ E _ / D A _
A N _ _ _ E _ / D _ _ _ A _
...and the leftover consonants each have a $1,300 value.
A N _ _ _ E _ / D A Y
A N _ _ _ E _ / D _ L L A _
This is more than ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR for our leader Megan -- she seals the deal w/ another $2,600 in her pockets and denies Mike of $11,300.
SOLE DUD (after Final Spin): S (Crystal)
BANKRUPT: Megan
FINAL SCORES
Crystal: $8,050

Category: THING
This one-word puzzle starts out as...
S _ _ L _ _ _ T
