A P P _ E
_ I _ _ _
Janie solves APPLE CIDER. On this Thursday evening, these players are here to kick off the month...
Janie Stafford: assistant principal at Chickasaw Elementary School from Horn Lake, MS
Amanda Remondet: Louisiana technical college student studying process technology from Reserve, LA
Lon Zimmet: from Los Angeles
$2,000 Tossup - LIVING THINGS
P O N D E R O S A
P I N _ S
Sorry, guys -- Janie blows it w/ PONDEROSA PINTS, and we have our first TOSSUP TRIPLE STUMPER of the season; the answer was PONDEROSA PINES. Since nobody got the $2K, Amanda will be kicking off the night's spinning.
FEATURED ALPINE ADVENTURE: from Brendan Vacations, a tour of Switzerland worth $10,125
Jackpot Round - LIVING THINGS
Amanda instantly BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side. Secondly, Lon misses w/ S. Janie's next w/ five T's four the Swiss tour and an H for $2,500. Once she finishes off the vowels...
T H E / _ O _ T _ _ E _ T
O _ / _ _ T _ _ _ T _ _ _
...she gets THE CONTINENT OF ANTARCTICA for $12,125 cash and Switzerland. Her pronunciation of the last word was questionable (she left out the first C), but the judges accepted it anyway.
SOLE DUD: S (Lon)
BANKRUPT: Amanda
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $7,800
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Amanda: $0
Lon: $0
Janie: $13,125
========
Mystery Round - RHYME TIME
Lon begins w/ TEN T's for the MDW. After some work comes a bad vowel in A. Janie hits LAT. After that, it's all Amanda from here...
T H R E E / _ I T T _ E
K I T T E _ S / T H E _
_ O S T / T H E I R
M I T T E _ S
...and she solves "THREE LITTLE KITTENS, THEY LOST THEIR MITTENS" for $2,950.
SOLE DUD: A (Lon)
LAT: Janie
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Amanda: $2,950
Lon: $0
Janie: $13,125
========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE
Janie begins w/ an R, but both ladies then LAT out back-to-back (Janie's hit is her second of the evening). Lon lights up three T's for $10,500. We later see this layout...
I ' _ E / _ E E N
_ _ I T I N _ / F O R
T _ I _ / _ O _ E N T
He admits "I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT" for $11,700 and the caravan.com TOUR OF COSTA RICA, so he's now in the lead w/ $17,700 cash and trip.

_ _ N O _
Janie's the MAID OF HONOR in this game, so she's now up to $16,125.
Round 4 - THING
Janie fills in most of this puzzle, but her O purchase could very well cost her another $3,200 and the game. After that, Amanda lights up a $5K L...
T _ R T L E N E _ _
S W E A T E R
...and she'll probably purchase a TURTLENECK SWEATER w/ that much money. She's now at $7,950.
SOLE DUD: O (Janie)
Round 5 - EVENT
Amanda begins w/ the S, but it's time for speed-up mode...
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ S _
...and the remaining consonants are worth $1,900 each. Once we see the N go up...

_ _ _ E / _ T
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ L
C, D, F and O are Lon's choices...
_ _ _ E / _ T
O F F _ C _ _ L
I shall MAKE IT OFFICIAL -- he's another $30,000 winner, and he departs this studio w/ $47,700 cash and Costa Rica; Rebuilding Together's now at $165,000!

What on Earth was Amanda doing?! She was completely avoiding the multiples! 
(I don't think anybody called the L, Andy) I bet Lon's next spin if he had taken it would have been Bankrupt.
