This season has to be a record for Triple Stumpers - 4 so far. Let's see how many of them happened per season in the retro section, starting with season 19...
Season 19: 2 -WHAT A RELIEF (Phrase, NO ONE even rung in, '02) -AN ONLY CHILD (Person, that of course had the UGLY CHILD moment, 4/02)
Season 20: Not that I know of...
Season 21: At least 1 -CORNER BARBERSHOP (Place, that couple in Phoenix solved EVERY OTHER PUZZLE, 2/13/04)
Season 22: At least 1 -RIGHT OFF THE BAT (Phrase, 10/29/04)
Season 23: 3 -BUDDY MOVIE (Show Biz, 12/15/05) -RISE AND SHINE (Phrase, 2/17/06 in Ft. Lauderdale) -NAMBY-PAMBY (Rhyme Time, a phrase I have NEVER heard of..., 6/2/06)
Season 24: 3 -STAR POWER (Phrase, the one with the SETTING UP BEACH CHAIRS incident, 11/8/06 in Dallas) -SPAM FILTER (Around the House, 1/22/07) -FROM SOUP TO NUTS (Phrase, 2/27/07)
Season 25: 1 -ROBIN REDBREAST (Living Thing, two contestants gave the same wrong answer, 11/23/07 in NYC)
Do any of you know of any more Toss-Up stumpers - particularly in seasons 18-21?

Season 18 had SHE ACED IT, and it also had another on March 30 but the answer was not specified (although it was after Round 3).
The $3,000 Toss-Up WHAT A RELIEF was Season 20, not 19.
Season 22 had two consecutive stumpers on April 11-12: A $2,000 of WILD DINGO, and a $1,000 of TAKE IT TO THE BANK.
Season 23 had three wrong answers on a $2,000 Toss-Up of BAGGAGE HANDLER, so S23 and S24 both had four known stumpers.

Wow, so tonight wasn't the first time we had two consecutive stumpers. As for SHE ACED IT and TAKE IT TO THE BANK...too arcane.

They were both themed puzzles, though (SHE ACED IT during College Week, and TAKE IT TO THE BANK during Big Money Week).
