This has been a very agonizing week to begin Season 29. Can we finally get some serious winning going?
EPISODE #5464 - HOME SWEET HOME[/u]
$1,000 Tossup - PLACE

Neil and Traci solve THE FRONT PORCH. Thursday's teams...
Neil and Traci Billock (brother/sister from the San Diego area): Traci works in the restaurant business and is opening her very first restaurant with her business parter Gina in S.D.
Sandy Bradbury and Jeanie Ackerman (mother/daughter): Sandy the daughter from Priest Lake, ID is a home interior store manager for her sister who has been married to Steve for two decades
Steve and Madeline Arterburn (father/daughter from McCordsville, IN): Steve teaches a New Life ministry and is a book writer; Madeline is a student at Azusa Pacific University and a soccer player
$2,000 Tossup - MOVIE TITLE
X - M _ _ :
F I R _ T / _ L A S S
The Billocks triple their winnings with "X-MEN: FIRST CLASS".
Jackpot Round - PHRASE
Early on, the Arterburns pick up the Beyond the Rack gift tag with an S (they almost repeated the dud of R by the mother/daughter team), but they then whiff with L while on the Wild Card. That allows the Billocks to get that piece of cardboard with five T's...
_ T / T A _ E S / T _ _
T _ / T A N _ _
...and solve IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO for the house minimum.
DUDS: R (red ladies), L (Arterburns)
BANKRUPT HIT: Billocks ($100 loss)
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $5,900
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Sandy/Jeanie: $0
Arterburns: $0
Billocks: $5,000 + WC
========
Round 2 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (PRIZE PUZZLE)
The red ladies get off to a great start with three $3,500 N's. After a lot of work, they duplicate the T they already called so they likely kissed at least $11,950 goodbye. Next, the Arterburns FP the A but they then go BANKRUPT for the second time tonight. After that, the Billocks cash in $14,000 with four L's and wisely use their WC to get $7K more with two R's. We now have...

Some of us may be ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING as they solve this puzzle for $21,000 and a trip to the Beaches Resort in the TURKS & CAICOS worth $12,600; they win $33,600 that round!

DQ: Sandy and Jeanie's T repeat

========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
After a dud of R by the Arterburns, the Billocks light up a T via the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. They go for it...and get their second BANKRUPT of the night. The red ladies then repeat the same dud consonant called earlier. A little later, the Arterburns also get their second BANKRUPT and lose $700. We come back to the Billocks who FP the M and O. Towards the end, they get two grand worth of F's via the other MW. We now see this...

It's JUST ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY FEUD as they solve this puzzle for $2,600.

Round 4 - FOOD AND DRINK (full $6,000 speed-up round!!!)
If the Billocks complete the sweep and also win at least $24,000 this round, they'll shatter Lauren Kaufman's maingame record of $66,350. Let's see what happens...
R _ D / D _ L _ C _ _ U S

The red ladies SPOIL the sweep by solving RED DELICIOUS APPLES for their first and only $12,000.

Category: PHRASE
We start them off with...
_ _ _ / _ N
_ _ L _
M, F, C and O...are all DUDS. They're way off with BET ON GOLD and GO FOR GOLD. It was BUY IN BULK[/b][/color]. If their envelope has the $100K, they just missed out on becoming the second-highest team winners of all-time, and we've also made horrible history...
....no, they actually lose $35,000, so they're leaving with $44,200 cash and trip!

Why won't they go back to awarding trips to France and Italy if those most likely cost thousands less?
Blue team should have went for the Ps and Ys, though.
