For the first time this week out of three in a row, here's Bobby McBride. Apparently, Best of the Best Week's NOT about Pat Sajak's 30th year of hosting this show, but rather about the best trip locations in the world (at least in this program's opinion). The first Toss-Up category's Thing:
_ _ U E
_ _ B B _ N
Audrey gets a $1K BLUE RIBBON for solving this puzzle. Let's greet them now:
Audrey Hamlin (Madison, NC)- A coupon clipper who's the coach of her son Clayton's soccer team & is married to Steve
Lisa Ward (Olive Branch, MS)- A choir leader at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Hernando who's married to David & has four children; she's also a senior manager at a multinational consulting technology networking company & is also learning to play both the flute & the guitar
George Barsoum (Miami, FL; originally from Nanuet, NY)- A medical student who lived in The Caribbean for two years to attend school there; he's also an aspiring screenwriter w/ his brother
For the second episode in a row, the $2K T-U topic's On the Map:
_ _ _ _ D I _ _ V _ A
Audrey solves SCANDINAVIA and now has $3K.
Tonight's showcased trip is to the Ciragan Palace Kempinski in Istanbul, Turkey worth $12,770 & the Tuesday/Thursday gift tag's courtesy of BerryFactory.com. The NatuRelief Jackpot Round category's Phrase & Audrey's first consonant call is three T's for $1,650, immediately followed by an E, a $600 N, two O's, three I's to clean out the vowels, a $2.5K S, a couple G's for another thousand bucks & the blue 1/2 KIA & a $450 L, then we have...
_ O _ T _ / I T S
_ E I G _ T / I N
G O L _
...this solve's WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD for her to the tune of another $5,450 in cash & $8,450 total.
PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $9,100
(Note: The art department provides the holiday shout-out of the night.)
A Landmark's fittingly part of the Prize Puzzle Round for this match. First, Lisa calls three N's for the Million Dollar Wedge (& the audience does a good reaction when the wheel lands on it) & two L's for the same 1/2 KIA & $1K, purchases six A's but then runs into the Lose a Turn. Second, George gets a $300 T, three O's, a $300 S, an E, the $550 H at the beginning, a $300 W & a $450 R before we take a look at...
H A W A _ _
_ O L _ A N O E S
N A T _ O N A L
_ A R _
...he banks his first $1,400 & the chance to visit the HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK during his holiday to the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa worth $6,090, making this a $7,490 round for him; he also starts the next puzzle.
SOLE LaT: Lisa
TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: DT2560508 (Dennis T.)
The identity of the Mystery Round puzzle's a Person. First up for him are five T's for the other 1/2 KIA & $2.5K (this may be the first time everybody's landed on at least one of those plates), an $800 H, trip E's, quadruple O's, quintuple R's for $1.5K extra, a pair of A's & the same number of S's to add $1,800. Here's the board...
_ _ T E R _ O R
_ E _ O R A T O R
T O / T H E / S T A R S
...while he ain't the INTERIOR DECORATOR TO THE STARS, he's the new leader w/ $13,340 in cash & Hawaii.
PERFECT ROUND #2
We're now desiring the Proper Name of someone:
M _ _ _ L
_ _ _ _ E P
Audrey certainly knows MERYL STREEP to also break five-figure territory w/ $11,450 & sweep the T-Us.
It's time to go In the Kitchen for the next round. First are a $500 N but then the Bankrupt next to where the Wild Card formerly was. Lisa secondly calls for a T, but it's a dud. Third, George Free Plays an A but then bobbles the T. Returning to Audrey, she lights a $600 L & the $5K R at the end, buys the remainder of the vowel department (four E's & singletons of I, O & U) & calls a possibly crucial dud of W. After Lisa gets the starting $300 S, a $1,600 duo of F's, a $600 C pairing & a $5K M...
S I N _ L E - C U _
C O F F E E M A _ E R
...she says SINGLE-CUP COFFEEMAKER to finally get off the zero mark w/ $7.5K.
DUDS: $350 T (Lisa) & $500 W (Audrey)
SOLE BANKRUPT OF THE NIGHT: Audrey
SOLE DQ: George (T repeat on a green $300 wedge)
The question What Are You Doing? is asked for the Last Chance Round w/ $1.5K as the consonant value; anybody can now win. After a B call...
_ L _ D _ N G / D _ _ N
T _ _ / B _ N _ _ T _ _
...Audrey's SLIDING DOWN THE BANISTER w/ an extra $3K to Bonusland w/ $14,450! Lisa missed out on doubling her money in this round & George doesn't add $4.5K to his final score, but he still leaves w/ $13,340 in cash & vacation.
$35,290 worth of cash & trip has been sent out the door thus far.
TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH: $500
Maxwell House Big Money Round #67: Audrey sounds like a player that can break our current endgame losing streak at eight episodes. She spins the A in GAME & hit us w/ some letters on another Phrase:
_ _ E R _ _ E
_ E _ _ _ T
DMHI gives her...
_ _ E R _ _ E
H E I _ H T
...her AVERAGE HEIGHT will go up once Pat shows her she's won $35K, so her final all-cash sum's $49,450; the Rebuilding Together bank's now at $177.5K!
