WoF: Tuesday's first Toss-Up puzzle is about a Thing:
_ _ L _ E _
_ P P O R T _ N I _ Y
Katie takes advantage of this GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY. The last three contestants helping out in the sears Secret Santa Sweepstakes are:
Katie Houska (Green Bay)- A legal assistant at a law firm & a Packers fan married to Isaiah for three years
Ainsley Fagan (Baton Rouge)- A Tulane University student studying International Relations & French who was a part of their marching band back on the New Orleans road trip last Spring
Scott Wills (Ruckersville, VA)- A Fourth Grade teacher at Nathaniel Greene Elementary School in Greene County (he attended that school) married to Tammy who has a two-year-old daughter named Emma
We're going In the Kitchen on the $2K TU:
_ _ E G E T A B L E
_ T E A M _ R
Katie solves VEGETABLE STEAMER for $3K.
On her first turn in the FAMOUS footwear Jackpot Round w/ the Same Name prompt, she calls three N's for $900, buys three A's, calls an $800 D & buys an E at the end, then she calls three L's to add $1.5K to her stake, purchases an I & puts up the G at the end of the first word for nine more Benjamins before buying three O's & we have...
_ O _ L I N G / A N D
_ A _ _ O O L
L A N E
...she just scored a $3,100 strike on a BOWLING AND CARPOOL LANE, doubling her money & then some w/ $6,100.
PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $7.5K
The Mystery Round solution's full of Fun & Games. First on Ainsley's docket is the Million Dollar Wedge's left Bankrupt. Second, Scott calls four N's for the SHinDigZ gift tag, a $300 G & buys three I's before calling for an R, which is a dud. Third, Katie calls a $450 S, two T's for that MDW & two H's for another $1,200 prior to buying four E's, calling a $600 D & purchasing the remainder of the vowel section of this round (an O & an A). Afterwards come a Z for the Wild Card, two L's for six more bills, a $400 B & a $1K P while on the Mystery Wedge next to Lose a Turn. The board now:
S P I _ I N G / T H E
B A L L / I N / T H E
E N D / Z O N E
She's SPIKING THE BALL IN THE END ZONE to the tune of an additional $3.5K & a new cash total of $9,600. Had she been daring enough to flip the MW...she would've gone Bankrupt!
SOLE DUD OF THE ROUND: $900 R (Scott)
SOLE BANKRUPT OF THE ROUND: Ainsley
Scott leads off the Prize Puzzle Round; topic's Phrase. Coming his way first is an automatic dud of N while on the $3.5K wedge. Second, Katie gets up there a $300 R, two S's to quadruple that amount, three E's, three T's for an extra $2,400 but then the only dud vowel on the board (A). Third for Ainsley are a $400 H but then the Bankrupt next to the former WC location, which is her second of the night. On Scott's second chance, he Free Plays five I's, calls two C's for $700 & the $450 W at the start of the board & purchases an O & U to finish off the vowels, followed by the other regular Bankrupt to wipe him out of the remaining $900. After Katie calls a $1K pair of P's for the blue 1/2 KIA, here's what we've got...
W H E R E / _ O / I
P I C _ / U P / _ _
S _ I - _ I _ T
T I C _ E T S ?
...she's won 4,100 more bucks & will be asking "WHERE DO I PICK UP MY SKI-LIFT TICKETS?"; the answer's an airport that leads to a $5,800 stay at Smuggers' Notch & new overall cash/trip winnings of $19.5K.

Katie gets the steal on Seattle's THE SPACE NEEDLE to stay perfect like the Packers are this season w/ $22.5K in cash & Vermont!
It's the Last Chance Round for her opposition. The question's What Are You Doing? & the consonant value turns out to be...$1.5K. After two L's...
S _ L _ _ N G / _
R _ _ _ L _
...SOLVING A RIDDLE is...NOT Katie; instead, Scott's $4.5K richer. That means the $1K gooseegg gift goes to Ainsley, but Katie's still going to Million Dollar Bonusland w/ $22.5K in cash & skiing!
In all, $28K in cash & flying/skiing were won upfront.
SOLE DUD: T (Ainsley)

MAXWELL HOUSE MILLION DOLLAR BONUS ROUND #5: This sweepstakes period started like this & has ended the same way! Let's see if Katie comes any closer than the last time w/ her WC in hand. She spins the M in GAME & hopefully MILLIONAIRE as well. Tonight's endgame subject's People. Reveal the legend:
N E _ L _ _ E _
_ _ _ _ L E
She doesn't need that WC, because she calls CDPOW...
N E W L _ W E D
C O _ P L E
...Bob Eubanks, Carnie Wilson & Sherri Shepherd have seen way more than one NEWLYWED COUPLE during their tenures on "The Newlywed Game", but what has this Packers fan won for knocking this bonus puzzle out of the park?...
...just the $30K, & WE WERE TWO SPACES OFF IN THE OTHER DIRECTION TONIGHT!!!!! OUCH. Thus, the $1M was in the double-star, but she still finishes w/ $52.5K in cash & ski vacation; the Rebuilding Together bank's at $162.5K!

J!: Our new champion Francis Lansangan is a military analyst from Virginia Beach! Now, to his challengers:
Abby Drwecki (Arvada, CO)- Anthropologist
Peter Jury (Ellington, CT)- Clothier
Opening Categories:
OLD TESTAMENT WOMEN
2011 NEWS
CARTOON VOICES
WHERE YA FROM?
PUT ON A SUIT
A DISH OF YIDDISH
At halftime, Francis has the early lead w/ $3,600, followed by Peter w/ two grand & Abby w/ one. The Daily Double to end Where Ya From? & this round of play is given to...Francis w/ $5,600; Abby's a slight second place w/ $3,400 to Peter's $3,200. The champ wagers double the face value of this answer:
Born June 8, 1867 in Richland Center, WI, he dreamed of moving to Chicago w/ its soaring architecture.
"Who is Frank Lloyd Wright?"...is right to conclude Round 1 w/ $7,600!
LACH TRASH (all attempted): $1,400
Double Jeopardy! Lineup:
TURKEY DAY
BODY WORKS
BOOKS' SUBTITLES
"DANCING WITH THE STARS" WINNERS
A "LITTLE" LEARNING
IS A DANGEROUS THING
Peter immediately uses the High School Strategy on Books' Subtitles...it takes just three clues for him to find a DD somewhere in that topic, under the $1,600 clue; Abby got the $2K one to start. He makes it a True DD, so for $7,200 or nil, the clue is this:
John Gray: "The classic guide to understanding the opposite sex"
"What is 'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus'?"...exactly! Just before the end of this second round, Francis claims the other DD from the $1,600 Turkey Day sport w/ $16K, but this match's a nail-biter, because while he has $16K & the lead, Abby's at $14,200 & Peter's just $200 behind her. Francis' wager this time's four biggies:
This Western European country w/ a three-million-strong Turkish minority's one of Turkey's main trading partners.
"What is Germany?"...he breaks the $20K mark! This round ends w/ its sole Triple Stumper on its final $2K clue.
Scores After DJ!:
Francis: $20K
Peter: $14K
Abby: $14,200
CORYAT SCORES:
Francis: $16,600
Peter: $12K
Abby: $14,200
FINAL JEOPARDY! CATEGORY: U.S. Money Math.
Adding up the denominations of circulating bills w/ U.S. Presidents on the front gives you this total.
My response would be "What is $36?". But everyone's wrong w/ "What is $76?"; they all left out the $2 bill, so the actual sum was $78. Wagers...
Peter: BUSTED
Abby: $13,199 = $1,001
Francis: $8,401 = $11,599
...& the Virginian stays the champ w/ a two-game total of $40K.
