For the last time in '11, it's Bobby McBride doing a recap. Two more episodes left this year. Thursday's first Toss-Up falls under the topic of Place:
F _ V E - _ T A R
H _ _ _ _
"Wheel" offers trips to these all the time & Jamie knows we're referring to a FIVE-STAR HOTEL. Let's find out how many stars each of these players will get for their performances tonight:
Jamie Schuh (Valders, WI)- An autism therapist who has two nephews, one of whom just returned from Afghanistan
Becky Gorton (Lakeville, MN)- A director of business development for an analytics consulting firm & an Augustana nursing home volunteer who's married to Matthew, has a six-month-old baby girl named Caitlin & a female Airedale dog named Zoey
Gardenia Parham (Lynwood, IL)- A legal secretary married to Fred for 16 years who has hopped on the back of her husband's motorcycle on occasion
The next stop's the $2K T-U that acts as something In the Kitchen:
C A _ _ E R O _ E
D I _ _
Gardenia gets CASSEROLE DISH.
The featured trip wedge of the night could send one to the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay in Hawaii & it's worth $5,800. After announcing that the NatuRelief Jackpot Round category is Fun & Games, Gardenia's first letters are two T's for $800, three E's, an A, a $300 N, five R's for another $1.5K & the other two vowels in the puzzle of two O's & three I's, then she calls on four L's to add another two grand & the green 1/2 KIA...
T _ R I L L I N _
R O L L E R
_ O A _ T E R
R I _ E
...so far, her THRILLING ROLLER COASTER RIDE has led her to a cash total of $5,600.
PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $6.5K
(Note: A holiday shout-out's made by the production department.)
Jamie kicks off the Before & After Round w/ the Lose a Turn. Second, Becky puts up three T's to pick up that Million Dollar Wedge, two H's for $1,200, two E's, a $300 N & two A's, then she takes two D's for another 11 bills & the board at this time...
T H E / T _ D A _
_ H _ _
A N D / T E _ _
...and she solves "THE TODAY SHOW" AND TELL to get on the board w/ $2,100.
SOLE LaT: Jamie
(Note: The other shout-out of the evening comes from the post-production folks.)
However, she's starting the Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round featuring some People. She collects the other 1/2 KIA immediately w/ two S's for a grand, two E's & three A's, followed by a $900 N pairing, a couple I's but then the only dud vowel buy of the round (O). Gardenia secondly calls for a $300 R & M & buys the leftover U...
_ E _ E N _ A R _
_ A _ _ / M U S I _ I A N S
...& she's known enough LEGENDARY JAZZ MUSICIANS to win 350 more bucks & a $5.5K vacation to the Loews New Orleans Hotel, giving her a new total of $11,450 in cash & trip.
SOLE DUD: O (Becky)

The final T-U category's Show Biz:
B _ _ _ S _ A _ E
T O U _
Becky takes too long.
B A C _ S _ A G E
T O U _
Jamie doesn't need the BACKSTAGE TOUR for him to quadruple up.
Some Food & Drink goes on the big board next. Jamie's opening letter is N for negative. Becky secondly says a $400 T but then a dud of R. Third for Gardenia are a $500 S, triple E's, a $500 B but then the Bankrupt next to where the WC formerly was to give back $750. Jamie's second turn leads off w/ the twin F's for eight Benjamins, two O's & a U, then following a $1,650 set of C's...
C _ O _ C E / C U T S
O F / B E E F
...he eats some CHOICE CUTS OF BEEF for $1,950 additional & $5,950 overall, so he's in second place.
DUDS: $350 N (Jamie), $400 R (Becky)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Gardenia
Next to be solved appears to be a Phrase. Becky duds out right away w/ a T. Gardenia gets the other Bankrupt, which means we move on to Jamie, who calls a $600 N & a $900 trio of G's & purchases an I & two E's before we finally go to Last Chance Mode...
G _ E _ _ I N G
G _ _ E
...& the remaining consonants have a value of $1,550 per appearance. He then calls the back-to-back S's on top...
G _ E S S I N G
G _ _ E
...& he's won this kind of a GUESSING GAME round to pocket another $3,700 & leave w/ $9,650. Becky has the $2,100 from the second maingame round & Gardenia wins by $1,800.
$23,200 in cash & flying has been won so far on the show this evening.
SOLE DUD (before final bell): $800 T (Becky)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Gardenia
TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH: $750
Maxwell House Big Money Round #69: Given Gardenia's late two Bankrupts, I'm not sure her landed envelope from the first A in AMERICA'S has anything worth all that much. But we'll know what's in there whether she wins or loses on this Phrase, starting like this:
_ _ _ _ / T _
_ N _ _
She might have an idea by calling GDMO...
G O O D / T O
_ N O _
...it's GOOD TO KNOW she's $30K richer & we have our third BMR win in a row after an eight-episode drought! She finishes w/ $41,450 in cash & Hawaii and the Rebuilding Together bank's up to $182.5K; she didn't bring any friends or family, though.
