For the second time this week, it's Bobby McBride. Thursday's Toss-Ups lead off w/ a Thing:
M A P / O _
T H E / _ O _ L D
David's MAP OF THE WORLD might be coming handy at least once during this show; in the meantime, he's secured his $1K & we'll interview him first:
David Schmidt (L.A.; originally from Big Sandy, TX)- An event emcee/stand-up comedian who has a son named Hank attending high school
Misti Haynes (Memphis, TN)- A game show fanatic & certified nursing assistant working at a retirement community
Kelly Schoen (Green Bay, WI)- A substance abuse counselor who has a 5.5-year-old son
This $2K T-U might be up David's alley, because the topic's Event:
S U R P R _ _ E
_ N D _ _ G
Hoping to be one to provide a SURPRISE ENDING to tonight's show, Misti scores the cash & control.
Aer Lingus provides tonight's $5.5K Great Escape to Ireland & the MidNite Jackpot Round category is Phrase. Misti goes first & calls an N for the Ricardo luggage, Free Plays five E's, calls four T's for $1,800 & buys an I & two O's before calling two H's for another grand while on the Jackpot & she buzzes in...
T H E / E _ _ E _ T I O N
T O / T H E / _ _ _ E
...& she proves this is THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE for the $6,450 pot, the $2,300 in her bank & the gift tag, for a first-place total of $11,750 in cash & prizes.
PERFECT ROUND
(Note: Most of the crew gives tonight's holiday greeting.)
Kelly's first turn in the Mystery/Before & After Round starts w/ her call of four T's for $2K, her purchase of four E's but then her Bankrupt landing on the Million Dollar Wedge's right side to take away the remaining $1,750. Second, David calls two H's for $1,800 & buys three O's, an A & a U to wipe out the rest of the round's vowels just like that, followed by his calls of two L's for another $1,200 to complete the first word, three N's for an additional $2,400 & three R's for an extra $10.5K & we have...
A L L / _ U I E T / O N
T H E / _ E _ T E R N
_ R O N T
_ O R _ H
...it's not going to be "ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT" PORCH, especially when he just nailed this puzzle for another $14,900 & the lead w/ $15,900 & stays in control!
SOLE BANKRUPT: Kelly
Kelly could make this game really tight if she gives the right solution to tonight's Prize Puzzle Round that highlights another Phrase, but we stay w/ David, who first says a dud in T. Misti secondly says a $300 N, FPs a couple E's but then Bankrupts next to the top dollar space to lose the three bills. Third for Kelly is a dud of S after closely getting by that same Bankrupt. The man in the middle gets control back & next asks for three R's good for $900, the O & the U, a $400 Y, the double C's for another six Benjamins & the final vowels of three A's, followed by this board...
C _ E A R / Y O U R
C A _ E N _ A R
...CLEAR YOUR CALENDAR, David, because you've banked another $1,150 that you might spend on a trip to the Galley Bay Resort priced at $8,640; he's up to $25,690 in cash & Antigua!
DUDS: $300 S (Kelly), $600 T (David)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Misti
TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: CR12889 (Candace R.)
It's again time to ask What Are You Doing? on the final T-U:
_ L _ W I _ G
_ _ S S E S
Misti's BLOWING KISSES to climb to $14,750 in cash & gift tag.
Next on our menu's Food & Drink. She leads off w/ a $400 N but then the other normal Bankrupt attacks both women, so Misti's lost $400 & they both have two Bankrupts to their credit. David continues his potential romp w/ an $800 F, pairs of O's & E's, a $5K T & two C's for another C-note...
_ _ _ C E / O F
C _ N T _ _ O _ _ E
...& he has a SLICE OF CANTALOUPE good for $6,300 extra & he's a $10 bill shy of $32K in cash & vacation!
BANKRUPTS: 2 (ladies)
Going on the puzzleboard next are some Song Lyrics. Kelly initially calls out a trio of S's for $1,200 & buys four O's, then she puts up the trip T's for a $2,700 addition before Losing a Turn. After David gets the $1K pair of D's, it's Last Chance Mode time...
D O _ ' T / S T _ _ D
S O / _ _ O S _ / T O / _ _
...& for each time one of the remaining consonants appears in this puzzle, $1.5K will be awarded. Once he calls the twin N's...
D O N ' T / S T _ N D
S O / _ _ O S _ / T O / _ _
...he says exactly "DON'T STAND SO CLOSE TO ME" by The Police for $4K worth of icing on his cake, so he's a big champion w/ $35,990 in cash & holiday! Misti leaves w/ $14,750 worth of money & luggage and Kelly has to settle for the $1K consolation prize.
$51,740 in cash & merchandise has been given away so far tonight!
SOLE LaT OF THE EVENING: Kelly
TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH: $2,450
Maxwell House Big Money Round #64: Dave spins the first A in AMERICA'S & his BMR category tonight's Thing. Courtesy of RSTLNE, we start w/:

He could potentially be making a $135,990 bet w/ these choices of DCMA...
A T _ L E T _ C
_ _ _ L D
...but after falling for the ATHLETIC FIELD trap, he's incorrect w/ ATHLETIC WORLD, ATHLETIC MOULD & ATHLETIC GOLD. It was ATHLETIC BUILD & he actually misses out on nearly doubling his winnings w/ $35K. But he still leaves w/ $990 more than that in cash & Antigua.

And it worked out great! I hope they use these kinds of puzzles more often for the PP instead of the gratuitous and nonsensical ones.
