Last night, their month didn't start out very well thanks mostly to bad luck and a total Wild Card waste by $25K+ winner Sean Horrigan. We hope things go much better tonight...
EPISODE #5559 - FABULOUS FOOD
$1,000 Tossup - FOOD AND DRINK
L _ _ _ T _ R

CULINARY TRIP ON THE WHEEL: to The Essex in Essex Junction, VT worth $5,200
Jackpot Round - SHOW BIZ
Jennie's first letter(s) spell out ERA, but she then hits LAT. Secondly, Sam FPs the O, but he buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (U). Ana's first spin yields nothing but the BANKRUPT next to the Wild Card. A little later, Jennie says G for green 1/2 KIA, but that's no good. Sam then picks up the VT trip w/ two L's...

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE

Loved her dance. It's getting annoying how often we're seeing 30K, though. Just how many envelopes of it are there?
Amazing how much the noise level can change. Hope they keep it up tomorrow.
