THE BIG DEAL: Unfortunate news, folks...because Kari's keeping her new regular car, she just missed out on paying off her previous automobile & will have to pay title & tax shortly after this episode's over & done with. And because Edward & Rebecca are completely cashing out to the tune of seven grand, Tanika will have the chance to be the week's hero w/ that Toyota prius. After ruling out Door #1, she's going w/ #3. #2 had the $8,496 trip to Wyndham Sugar Bay, but #1 actually had...an outdoor cabana w/ loungers & a stainless-steel cooler priced at $2,697- IT'S ALL OVER!!!

Scott, a server/musician from Corona, CA shirt, wants to play Pl!nko because of his black shirt...I don't know if he's going to be too disappointed about actually being the season's first aired player to play PAY THE RENT (Manuela at the house; Gwendolyn w/ the groceries)! The items are a box of Sara-Lee Cherry Pie, a 16-ounce bottle of Pepsi, a gallon of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar, a Swifter 2-in-1 Sweeping & Mopping Starter Kit, some finish JET-DRY rinse agent & a box of TheraBreath Mouth-Wetting Fresh Breath Lozenges.

WoF: If we get skunked on this four-day week tonight, in the spirit of "Fun & Fit", I'll do 20 push-ups. Tonight's first category in terms of Toss-Up puzzles is Thing:

E X E _ _ _ S E

V I D _ _

Jessica blows the $1K solve w/ EXCLUSIVE VIDEO & Chris blanks out, allowing Katie to steal this EXERCISE VIDEO. Tonight's panel:

Katie Haney (Phoenix; originally from Boise)- Communications manager/social media geek
Jessica Kwok (Costa Mesa, CA)- Corporate recruiter for a digital consulting company
Chris Dobrowolski (Chicago)- A pre-law major who recently graduated from the University of Illinois-Chicago & is currently a government worker who also does some comedy writing; in addition, he dressed like Pat at a GS-themed Halloween party

The $2K TU's about Show Biz:

A P P _ _ _ _ E

S I G _

The APPLAUSE SIGN gets activated as Katie solves said puzzle to triple up.

The last featured vacation of the week's to the Premier Fitness Camp in Park City, UT worth $7,900 & the IHOP Jackpot Round topic's Movie Quote. She first gets an instant Bankrupt next to $2.5K, as does Jennifer. Second, Chris calls out two S's for $900, buys two I's, calls three N's for another $1,800 & purchases an O & three E's before inserting a $500 T for the blue 1/2 KIA, a $500 H, the two A's to clean out the vowels & two R's for another $1,200. But he then calls a dud in M to likely be denied of his license plate & $3,900. After Katie takes the two B's for $900, we have...

T H E R E ' S / N O

_ R _ I N _ / I N

B A S E B A _ _

...she reminds us "THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL" for a $100 bonus & $4K in current cash.

SOLE DUD: $300 M (Chris)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (women)
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $8,400

As Jessica starts the Before & After Mystery Round, she calls for two R's worth seven grand, buys an O & two U's but then Bankrupts the same way both women did in the prior round to lose the remaining $6.5K; I can tell you the second half of this puzzle's the title of a past GS. Chris secondly calls two S's for $1K the other 1/2 KIA but then buys a negative vowel in A. Third, Katie calls a dud consonant of T while on the trip. Returning to Jennifer, she says a $450 P, an L for the vacation & buys two E's to take the vowels out of play for the round, followed by two C's while on the Mystery Wedge in between Free Play & Lose a Turn. She takes the $2K w/ no hesitation...

_ E _ C _

P R E S S

_ O U R / L U C _

...& she's right on BENCH "PRESS YOUR LUCK" for $10,100 in cash & Utah & first place...which could've been $18,100 had she flipped that wedge over.

DUDS: A (Chris), T (Katie)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Jennifer

The final Prize Puzzle Round question of the week's What Are You Doing? Chris starts w/ that same nasty Bankrupt. Second for Katie are three N's worth $1,350, three I's, an E, but she Bankrupts like everyone else for the second time this evening to give back $850. Jennifer's next rundown's made up of a $3.5K G, the leftover vowels of three O's & an A, but then her second Bankrupt of the night to snatch $3K away from her. Chris then goes for the solving steal...

_ _ O A _ E N I N G / _ _

_ O _ I _ O N _

...but he fails by leaving out the S. Katie capitalizes by lighting up a $600 B, two R's to double that amount & we now have...

B R O A _ E N I N G / _ _

_ O R I _ O N _

...she's right w/ BROADENING MY HORIZONS for the extra $1,200 & a holiday from Club Med to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic w/ a $6,300 value, putting her back in front of the pack w/ $11.5K.

BANKRUPTS: 3 (Everybody)
SOLE DQ: Chris (S omission)

TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: CR9873371 (Curtis R. from Illinois)

The category of the $3K TU's on the way- Fun & Games:

S I M _ N

_ A Y S

SIMON SAYS...give Chris his first three thousand bucks.

$1.5K per consonant appearance is on the line during our Last Chance Round w/ a fairly big Proper Name. After Katie calls, of all letters, a Q...

Q _ _ R T _ R _ _ _ _

T _ M / _ R _ _ _

...she sacks New England Patriots QUARTERBACK TOM BRADY for the win w/ $19K in cash & Punta Cana! Jessica's going to Utah w/ $10,100 in winnings & Chris gets the $3K TU award.

$32,100 in cash & holidays have been won tonight.

DUDS: I (Chris), N (Jessica), P (Chris), S (Jessica)

TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH: $10,350

LAST CHANCE MAXWELL HOUSE BIG MONEY ROUND SALOON #3: Here, Katie strongly spins up the S in AMERICA'S & another Phrase turns up:

_ _ _ _ L L _

N _ _ E

YCHI doesn't do too much...

_ _ _ _ L L Y

N I C E

...it would be AWFULLY NICE to give her something else...
















































































































































































































































...but we won't w/ the $30K- we have a BONUS ROUND SHUTOUT W/ AN ASTERISK. That sends her home w/ $19K in cash & trip.

As a result, we have a NEW ALL-TIME LOW TOTAL for any four-day week w/ $105,130. On the bright side, the three-week-or-so Secret Santa Sweepstakes begins on Monday.

J!: Next in the Tournament of Champions:

Joon Pahk (seven-time champ)
Tom Kunzen (five-time champ)
John Krizel (four-time champ)

Friday's First Category Set:

LITERARY TITLE OCCUPATIONS
REAL PEOPLE ON FILM
THAT'S THE CHICAGO WAY!
BIBLICAL RELATIONS
WEBSITES
RHYME-BOT (each correct response rhymes w/ "bot")

Joon gets a jump on the first of the Daily Doubles under the center clue on Literary Title Occupations; he's got $600 to Tom K.'s $200. Here's Joon's $1K clue:

It's the occupation mentioned in a 1916 James Joyce book title.

"What is artist?"...correct to nearly triple up to $1,600. He adds $3K to that by the first break; John's $400 in the hole (originally $1,200 in such territory).

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $3K
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS: $600 (Websites)

On Tap For Double Jeopardy!:

MAPMAKER, MAPMAKER
MTV VIDEO OF THE YEAR ARTISTS
BALLET
CALCULATING THE MEASUREMENTS
CANADIAN HISTORY
GIMME AN "H"

Tom K. goes DD Hunting right away...but he finds one behind the $800 Mapmaker, Mapmaker answer a little too early w/ a grand to now. To triple it:

However you draw the border between Nicaragua & this 2-named country, somebody gets mad, huh?

"What is El Salvador?"...that plus sign next to his $1K becomes a minus. Correct: "What is Costa Rica?". But he then gets the lost $2K right back on that same category's maximum value clue. Alas, Joon gets his second DD of this tournament attached to the $2K "H" spot; he's even deeper in LGT w/ $11,200, followed by John w/ $2,400 & Tom K. at -$200. $4K's his bet on this:

Anglers & crafters, not just surgeons, use this instrument whose name means "blood stop".

"What is a hemostat?"...he's indeed right to jump to $15,200!

ATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $2,400
