TPiRecap

WoF: Thursday's Toss-Up agenda starts w/ an Occupation:

P E R S O _ A L

T R _ I _ _ _

Zoltan gives the right solution of PERSONAL TRAINER, meaning those interviews are starting w/ him:

Zoltan Illes (San Diego)- A Biomedical Science teacher at Southwest High School working on his Master's Degree & training for his first marathon
Hope True (Auberry, CA)- An advocate for recycling, reusing & refilling who's married & has four children
Renita Henry (Miami, FL)- A Marriage/family lawyer in South Florida who also does some amateur boxing

Fun & Games is the $2K TU topic:

F I _ U R E

_ _ _ _ I _ G

Hope gives the "True" answer of FIGURE SKATING.

After Jimmy talks about a trip to Cape Eleuthera worth $9,430, we reveal the layout for the IHOP Jackpot/Before & After Round. Hope has a $500 N but then the Bankrupt next to $2.5K to start. Second, Renita calls two T's for $600, buys an E, lights up a $1K pair of S's while on Jackpot & buys two A's before saying a dud in L. Third, Zoltan calls three R's for $1,650, buys two O's & gets up there two F's for another thou while on that Jackpot...

_ _ A R _ O T S / O F

F _ R E

_ _ _ R A N T S

...& we have fireworks for the second Thursday in a row thanks to his solve of "CHARIOTS OF FIRE" HYDRANTS, resulting in another $7,750 added to the prior $2,400 this round, for a new cash sum of $11,150.

SOLE DUD: $400 L (Renita)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Hope

The Mystery Round's about the query of What Are You Doing? What Renita does first is call a $500 G, two N's to add $800 & buys an easy I before hitting the other normal Bankrupt to let $1,050 disappear. Second in line, Zoltan Free Plays three A's, calls for two T's for $1,200 & buys an E, then comes a negative of S. Hope's next letters are trip R's for $1,800, a $600 F, five O's & a $500 FP H, but she then Loses a Turn. Back to Renita, she calls the double D's while on the Mystery Wedge next to that dreaded white wedge & gives back $2K...for her second Bankrupt in this round of play. After Zoltan FPs a $500 L, we see...

_ O O L I N G / D O _ N

A F T E R / A / H A R D

_ O R _ O _ T

...he'll be COOLING DOWN AFTER A HARD WORKOUT w/ $1,450 more, $12,600 so far.

SOLE DUD: $300 S
SOLE LaT: Hope
BANKRUPTS: 2 (both by Renita)

He also starts tonight's Prize Puzzle Round board that's filed under Places. First up for him this time are four N's for $1,400, half a dozen E's, an FP O & two D's while on the blue 1/2 KIA for another C-note, followed by four I's, twin T's for another grand, two R's for $7K extra, a $350 B, a $500 FP G, a $500 M, but then the Million Dollar Wedge's right-side Bankrupt to render the KIA Soul null & void for the rest of the night; also, his $11,250 just got wiped out. Darn. Hope then takes a stab at it...

B E G I N N E R / A N D

I N T E R M E D I A T E

_ _ I / _ _ O _ E _

...& she succeeds in solving BEGINNER AND INTERMEDIATE SKI SLOPES for a ski vacation at Holiday Valley in NY worth $5,735, so that's a new score of $7,735 in cash & trip for her.

$3K TU theme's In the Kitchen:

Zoltan takes out a MEASURING CUP to be at $15,600.

It's also Rhyme Time on the next regulation puzzle, starting w/ a $450 N, two FP E's but then a costly vowel buy of A. Hope secondly calls a set of T's for $1,050, an $800 S & a $350 L before we shift to Last Chance Mode...

_ _ _ _ / N _ _ _ T

S L E E _ / T _ _ _ T

...& the remaining consonants have a value of $1,450 a pop. She then calls those three G's...

G _ _ _ / N _ G _ T

S L E E _ / T _ G _ T

...& says "GOOD NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT" instead of sing it for an additional $6,550 & a decent final second-place bank of $14,285 in cash & skiing. Renita gets gooseegged for $1K & Zoltan's the champ by $1,315!

$30,885 in cash & NY was won in that maingame.

SOLE DUD (prior to big bell): A (Zoltan)

TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH (excluding 1/2 KIA): $14,800

...but he's wrong w/ FLIGHTS OF LUNCH, FLIGHTS OF HUNCH & FLIGHTS OF BUNCH. If he had only called the F's on FLIGHTS OF FANCY, he would've won...

J!: The second trio in the Tournament of Champions:

Kara Spak (five-time champ)

2011 MOVIES

TRANSLATION EXERCISES

Roger hits $10K on the head just as he gets one of the two DDs this round attached to the middle Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? clue during some DD Hunting; he leads Kara by $2,800 & Brian by $5,600. Mr. Craig's putting 6/10 of his current score & the lead on the line on this:

This 1928 title character begins as a man & ends, almost 400 years later, as a young woman (but NOT in Florida).

"Who is Orlando?"...yes indeed to stay in first place w/ 16 biggies! And the other one's his at the end of It Came From the New World & he's much deeper in LGT to the tune of $23,600; Brian's at $8K & is $800 ahead of Kara for second. Roger next risks $5K:

Also known as butter beans, they were, prior to being exported to Europe, a diet staple of the Inca.
