Bobby P. (TenPoundHammer) here with my inaugural recap for this forum. It's Day 7 of the Secret Santa Sweepstakes, so let's get our Santa caps on.
$1,000 Toss-Up: Quotation[/u]
R _ U _ D / A N D
_ O _ _ D / S _ _ / _ _ _ S
Melanie gets ROUND AND ROUND SHE GOES.
Melanie Bowerman[/color], a teacher for a local nonprofit from Los Angeles, CA

_ _ _ _ _
Melanie's very quick on the draw with THE EIFFEL TOWER.
As always for the Secret Santa episodes, the Wheel Prize is a $5,000 shopping spree at Sears. (We're using a lot of S's tonight.)
Jackpot Round: Same Name[/u]
B U L L E T I N / &
B O O _ I E
B O A R _
Melanie leads off with S, but it's not up there. Before Felix spins, Pat jokes with him some about his daughter. Felix's second spin hits the Jackpot, but it's too early. After some work, he duds out with P. Bonnie's first spin hits the blue $500 Kia tag, which she gets with an N. After knocking out the last of the vowels, she spins again for the other 1/2 Kia tag. She solves BULLETIN & BOOGIE BOARD for $1,850 and a Kia Soul ($15,000), for a Round 1 total of $16,850!
Duds: S (Melanie), P (Felix)
Left behind in Jackpot: $8,350
R:
Y: $16,850
B: $3,000

With the Kia win, the tags are gone for the rest of the game. There's still plenty left to win.
Mystery Round: Husband & Wife[/u]
O _ _ _ / &
S H A R O N
O S _ O _ R N _
Felix starts off with the N's, but buys a nonexistant I. Bonnie's first spin hits the See's Candies gift tag, which she claims with S. It's all her for the rest of the round, as she goes on to solve OZZY & SHARON OSBOURNE for $1,500 and the Gift Tag. Bonnie jokes that she doesn't want the candy because she's overweight, and will give the candy to her husband.
Sole dud: I (Felix)

Bonnie starts again with N, but buys an E that isn't there. Melanie calls S, but her A isn't up there either. off to Felix, who tries an H. After some more work, he Bankrupts on the MDW, losing $550.

Bonnie has a Kia, a trip to Gatlinburg and some candy along with her cash. Can she add to her winnings? Her daughter and three sisters are in the audience to root her on.
The Bonus Wheel lands on the S in SPIN. Tonight's puzzle is a Phrase:
