Players:
Shawn Strumsa: massage therapist from Miami
Edward Finehandler: substitute teacher, high school tennis coach, and voluntary probation officer from Sparks, NV (one-day champion with $36,950)
Faith Stingfellow: college student from Hampton, AR
Round 1 ($1,000 and the SURPRISE added) - FILL IN THE BLANK
? BENNETT ? AWARDS ? THE TIGER solved by Faith for $2,300. She wins another $500 by correctly filling in the blank as TONY, so she wins $2,800 that round.
Gameplay Notes (Long round):
*Shawn immediately picked up the Free Spin with four T's. He later hit BANKRUPT and decided not to use it. Later on, he missed with an L, then later with a K and didn't use his Free Spin either of those times.
*Edward accidentally repeated the H, then later missed with a Y.
*Faith missed with an N, then later with a P.
Scores so far:
Shawn: $0
Edward: $0
Faith: $2,800
