EPISODE #5484 - DESERT HIDEAWAYS
$1,000 Tossup - SONG TITLE
O _ / T H E / R _ _ D
_ _ A _ _
Scott solves "ON THE ROAD AGAIN" (by Willie Nelson). Will any of our players be making beautiful music when the night is done? Here they are...
Scott Tatman: project administrator for an administrative & engineering firm from Fresno, CA
Charis Knight: senior reporting analyst at a relocation company and licensed dance fitness instructor from Memphis
Sara Liles: has been watching this show since age 4 and had her grandma find a Christmas picture of her asking for one of the show's board games; she's from Baton Rouge
$2,000 Tossup - THING
L _ C _ Y
P E _ _ _
Charis remembers her LUCKY PENNY, so she's spinning first.
FEATURED DESERT TRIP: to the Sorrel River Ranch resort & spa in Utah worth $5,415
Jackpot Round - SAME NAME
Charis immediately BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side. Sara starts her run w/ a T for the Wild Card, but she then misses with the N while on $2,500. After that, Scott BANKRUPTS on the other side of the MDW. Back to Charis who FPs the E, but then comes LAT. Sara then picks up $5,000 from the L and R (the latter came from her wise WC use), but she BANKRUPTS away $5,650. Towards the end, Scott picks up a 1/2 KIA before dudding out w/ D. Charis then lights up the C's...
L A S / V E G A S / &
C O _ I C
S T R I P
...and solves LAS VEGAS & COMIC STRIP for $1,850.

========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Sara picks up a 1/2 KIA with an H. After filling about half the puzzle, she BANKRUPTS to give up $3,300 and that plate. After that, Scott says M while on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. He's definitely going for it...good call! He also picks up the Camping World gift tag with a D. After finishing off the vowels, here's...
O A T M E A L / _ I T H
_ L U E _ E _ _ I E _
A N D / _ A L N U T _
He solves OATMEAL WITH BLUEBERRIES AND WALNUTS for $12,150 cash and camping gear!

========
Round 3 - PHRASE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Don't forget that as of taping week, the PP is permanent here.
After a lot of of work, Scott purchases the only bad vowel of this puzzle (I). That prompts Charis to solve...
_ E A D _ / _ O _ / A
N E W / A D _ E N _ _ _ E
She's READY FOR A NEW ADVENTURE, because she's going on a $9,700 MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE from Celebrity Cruises.

Round 4 - RHYME TIME (full $1,600 speed-up round)
F R _ _ / _ _ R _ T

========
$100,000 Bonus Round
Scott lands on the N in WIN.
Category: THING
This pretty big puzzle starts out as...
_ _ L L - _ _ _ _ E _
_ L _ _ _ R
Scott would like B, C, P and A...
_ _ L L - B _ _ _ E _
_ L A _ _ R
He does get the first word, but it's definitely NOT some kind of PLAYER. The answer was FULL-BODIED FLAVOR, and he doesn't win $30K. That sends him home w/ $21,150 cash and camping gear.
