MORTICIA GOMEZ PUGSLEY & WEDNESDAY ADDAMS solved by Darlene for $500. Unfortunately, she could have had a LOT more if you see below...
Gameplay Notes (FRUSTRATING!):
*Darlene filled in almost the entire puzzle and racked up $13,200 (including $7,500 with an R and a pair of Y's), also picking up the Free Spin with a C. But after a bunch of spinning, SHE LOST ALL OF HER $13,200 TO THE RIGHT-SIDE BANKRUPT ON THE $10,000 WEDGE! OUCH!!! She used her Free Spin to redeem herself and later landed on the SURPRISE, but BLEW her chance to pick it up (and win it, at that, since she was the one who solved the puzzle) when she missed with an H.
*Sandy blew the puzzle by missing with a D when there was only the G left.
*Dean also blew his chance at the puzzle when he missed with a B.
Scores so far:
Dean: $0
Darlene: $2,800
Sandy: $0
Jackpot Round ($3,500) - BEFORE AND AFTER
V O L _ P T _ O _ S
F I G _ R E
O F / S P E E CH
VOLUPTUOUS FIGURE OF SPEECH solved by Darlene for $250, the Lake Havasu trip (picked up with an L), and a $15,550 JACKPOT!
Gameplay Notes:
*Sandy immedately hit a BANKRUPT.
*Dean did some work and racked up $9,700 (including $7,000 with a pair of P's). He also landed on the JACKPOT and called an F, but was unable to solve it. He landed on the $3,500 again, but missed with a D.
*Sandy hit LOSE A TURN.
*Dean missed with an A, causing him to miss out on $9,450.
*Darlene called the V before solving for the Jackpot.
Scores so far:
Dean: $0
Darlene: $21,200 (I guess that makes up for the terrible disaster from Round 2...)
Sandy: $0
Round 4 ($5,000) - PLACE[/b] (also a speed-up round for $600 per consonant)
_ _ T - B L _ C K

Category: THING
Sarting with the RSTLNE...
T _ _ _ _
Darlene's choices of C, M, H, and A give her...
T _ _ _ C
With only a couple seconds left, Darlene manages to solve TOPIC and wins a Chevrolet S-10 4X4 pick-up truck worth $23,176! Her one-day total is $44,376 and I'm almost positive that she's gonna be back on Friday for the Friday Finals!
By the way, I heard that on the Friday Finals, Darlene swept the maingame, won $25,000, and retired with $119,351!
