Ten Pound Hammer here for Monday of Best of the Best week. Happy Boxing Day to our Canadians if we have any, and happy Kwanzaa to our African-American friends.
$1,000 Toss-Up: Show Biz[/u]
_ L A T _ N U M

Selena knows it's PLATINUM ALBUM.
Selena Hardy[/color], web content editor for communications company from Hampton, GA
Natalie Rodriguez[/color], waitress/business management + marketing + accounting student from Henderson, NV
Jim Lubinski[/color], professional triathlete/former professional ice hockey player from Santa Monica, CA (originally from Chicago)
$2,000 Toss-Up: On the Map[/u]
_ O U _ _
E _ E _ _ _ T
Jim says it's MOUNT EVEREST, and he's right.
Prize on Wheel: Athens (Hotel Grande Bretagne), $9,370
Our category wipe is a limousine. Probably one with paparazzi in it, as it drives across the screen with a camera shutter sound.
Jackpot Round: Phrase[/u]
_ R E A _ I N G / O U T
T H E / _ I N E / _ H I N A
Jim is first with $2,500, but his S isn't up there. Selena puts up two T's at $900 each, then hits Lose a Turn. Natalie lands on Jackpot, calling H but it's too soon. Several letters later, L stops her streak. Back to Jim, who puts up some more letters. He's BREAKING OUT THE FINE CHINA for $100->$1,000.
Duds: S (Jim), L (Natalie)
Lose a Turn: Selena
Left behind in Jackpot: $10,750
R: $3,000
Y: $1,000

Round 2: Places[/u]
_ _ N E / _ E _ _ A R S
A N D / T A S T _ N _
R _ _ _ S
Selena puts up $1,650 in S's, but Bankrupts it right back. Natalie then Bankrupts too. Jim puts up T and E, followed by R (which gets him the Greece trip), and doesn't let go of the Wheel. After D gives him the ½ Kia over the green $500, he solves WINE CELLARS AND TASTING ROOMS for $2,950 and a trip to Napa Valley (Silverado Resort) worth $9,250!
Bankrupts: Selena ($1,650), Natalie ($0)
SPIN ID: KS4028245 (Kay S.)
R: $24,570 + ½ Kia
Y: $1,000

Mystery Round: Before & After[/u]
N A C H O S
S U _ R E _ E
C O U R T
Natalie puts a $300 N on the board and, along the way, she gets the ½ Kia tag on the blue $500. She solves NACHOS SUPREME COURT for $2,800. Both halves of the Kia are now driving away.
PERFECT ROUND![/color]
R: $24,570

_ O _ L D - _ L A _ S
A _ H L E _ E
Selena solves WORLD-CLASS ATHLETE.
Round 4: Things[/u]
R E T _ R N S / &
E _ C _ A N _ E S
Selena gets her T, but not her L. Natalie then hits $5,000 to find two N's. After some vowel buying, I stops her too. Jim calls S just as the bells ring for a $1,500 Final Spin. The puzzle looks like the above when time as called.
R E T _ R N S / &
E _ C _ A N _ E S
And it looks like this when Selena solves RETURNS & EXCHANGES for $1,900.
Duds: (both before Speed-Up) L (Selena), I (Natalie)
End totals:
R: $24,570
Y: $5,900
B: $2,800

$100,000 Bonus Round[/u]
Jim lands on the &. His puzzle is a Phrase:
_ ' _ / _ _ L _ _ _ _
_ _ _ E
M, D, C and A give him…
_ ' M / _ A L _ _ A _
_ _ M E
He can get I'M and HOME but he doesn't know the middle word. (I'M COMING HOME? Really? Herp derp.) I'M HALFWAY HOME is the answer, and he loses the $30,000.
Pat and Vanna talk again about Rebuilding Together in the final segment, showing their team with Rebuilding Together at the Watts Community Center.
