I'm Bobby McBride. We're wrapping up another fine week for any "Wheel" sweepstakes tonight. The first Toss-Up related to golf falls under Event:
M _ _ _ _ _ / _
_ _ L _ / _ N / _ _ E
Eron's MAKING A HOLE IN ONE. The final three players of the week:
Eron Cummings (Coral Springs, FL)- A Vice-President of software development at a university who also coaches flag football & basketball
Josh Frye (Vegas; originally from Denver)- Works at TPC Las Vegas
Cathy Billington (Ringgold, GA)- A Fifth Grade teacher at Boynton Elementary
This $2K T-U solution's Around the House:
D I G _ _ A _
T H E R _ _ _ _ T _ R
Eron triples up w/ a DIGITAL THERMOMETER.
As we get ready to solve a Song Title in the FAMOUS footwear Jackpot Round, he immediately gets the green 1/2 KIA w/ a $500 T, but he hits Lose a Turn after buying two O's. Second, Josh Bankrupts next to the $2.5K wedge. Third, Cathy calls three Y's to pick up that Million Dollar Wedge & a $600 M, then she buys the U at the end before she & Eron both Bankrupt in the same fashion, so she's lost the MDW & $350 while Eron's giving back a 1/2 KIA & $250. On Josh's second chance in the round, he calls a $550 R, purchases two A's & says a dud in P while on the gift tag. Cathy then proceeds to call a couple of W's for $1,200 & trying to solve this now...
W O R _ _ _ _ / M Y / W A Y
_ A _ _ / T O / Y O U
...she does w/ "WORKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU" by The Four Seasons from 1966 (later by The Spinners in 1979).
SOLE DUD: P (Josh)
SOLE LaT: Eron
BANKRUPTS: 3 (Everyone)
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $7,250
We close out this week's Mystery Rounds w/ the Before & After prompt appearing once again. Josh first calls two T's while on the Mystery Wedge next to the former MDW & risks $2K...to turn it into the non-spendable $10K! Immediately after that are the call of a $400 S, an E buy at the end of the first of three words & a dud of R. Second, Cathy says N for nothing. Third, Eron calls a $1K L, purchases an A, calls a $1K P & buys three O's, but he then Bankrupts out next to the Wild Card to toss away $1.5K, his second of the night. Right after that, Josh puts up three C's for another $1,350...
C _ O C O L A T E
C _ _ P
S _ O T
...& makes a CHOCOLATE CHIP SHOT to be the second straight winner of the $10K MW & win a total in just this round of $11.5K (initially, the scoreboard people mistakenly doubled the $10K).
DUDS: $600 N (Cathy), $900 R (Josh)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Eron
Cathy's in the lead-off spot for the Prize Puzzle Round w/ the topic of Phrase to mull over, starting w/ a $400 T, a $300 H, seven E's, three N's for another $1,800, a quartet of I's, a $1K pair of C's for the blue 1/2 KIA & two A's to shut the vowel department down, followed by back-to-back B's for $1,600 additional & an attempt at this...
E _ _ E _ I E N C E
_ I _ E / I N / T H E
C A _ I B B E A N
...she's earned the right to EXPERIENCE LIFE IN THE CARIBBEAN w/ an additional $4,350 in hand on the $5,750 (the PP trips have been worth exactly this much all week long) trip to the Sandals Grand Riviera Beach & Golf Resort, so w/ $11,300 in cash & Jamaica, she's $200 out of first place.
(Note: The 1/2 Car icon was incorrectly displayed on her podium for the rest of the round after she picked her plate up.)
PERFECT ROUND
LAST SPIN ID OF THE WEEK: WB6610623 (William B.)
This last T-U could put her in front; category's Movie Quote:
_ H A K _ _ / N O T
_ T I R _ E D
Josh remembers the famous James Bond line "SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED" to rise to $14.5K.
The identity of the Last Chance Round puzzle's a Living Thing & consonants are valued at...$1,300. After Cathy calls a C...
_ / _ _ _ / C _ _ S _ N _
_ T S / T _ _ _
...at the buzzer, she's wrong right away w/ A CAT; that may be a blessing in disguise, since she currently has $2,600 to play for in this round. But Eron then calls the D...
_ / D _ _ / C _ _ S _ N _
_ T S / T _ _ _
...as in A DOG CHASING ITS TAIL; he leaves w/ $4,300. Cathy leaves w/ $11,300 in cash & trip and Josh hangs on w/ his $14.5K check!
$30,100 in cash & vacation was won in the maingame this night.
SOLE DUD: R (Eron)
SOLE DQ OF THE MATCH: Cathy (missolve)
TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH (excluding cardboard): $2,100
Maxwell House Big Money Round #60: Josh takes out the C envelope & he may have a shot at it already from the early looks of this Phrase:
_ _ R / _ N _
_ _ _ E
DMPA gives him...
_ A R / A N D
_ _ D E
...but he flames out w/ CAR AND RIDE. The $30K goes way too FAR AND WIDE, so he leaves w/ $14.5K of that.

Saying a destination explicitly stated really ruined our enjoyment...
I could swear I put ****...
