The last letter Kate gets for free's an R. I'll tell you that the $17,460 Toyota COROLLA's behind CURTAIN #2 ("Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj) & if she turns down Wayne's $2K, it's hers (& maybe her husband Timothy's as well)...PERFECT DEAL!

Catherine's Jonathan's Diary (Wayne) Round Decision (BB): GO ($1.5K)- Giant jack/ball set

THE BIG DEAL: David doesn't want a second chance at an automobile, so Rickey gets the Big Deal of the Day opportunity.

TOTAL WINNINGS: $54,322

WoF: Tonight's stop's on the Desert Hideaways set. The first Toss-Up topic appears to be Proper Name:

T _ _ _ A _

_ E _ _ E R _ _ N

Maggie solves former President THOMAS JEFFERSON. Let's get to the panel:

Maggie Woelke (Calipatria, CA)- A teacher at Apex Academy High School
Katrina Julian (San Diego)- A law school student who has a Chihuahua named Pac-Man
Mitch Kimbrell (Cordova, TN; originally from Doerun, GA)- A student Mid-America Baptist Seminary married to Sara who's also a fan of the University of Georgia Bulldogs & the Atlanta Braves

Here's a slightly more general $2K T-U puzzle within the realm of Show Biz:

B E _ T - _ _ _ S _ E D

L I S T

Maggie might not necessarily be on our BEST-DRESSED LIST, but she's $3K richer as of now.

Eggland's Best Jackpot Round category's Same Letter & the ally BANK $5K wedge's on the wheel. The first letters from her are two L's for the Tuesday/Thursday gift tag of the jura coffee center, two S's for $1,200, an E & six N's for another three grand & the green 1/2 KIA, then she buys an I, calls two T's for another 11 bills & two G's for $1,200 additional & purchases an A in each of the three lines before she says the SL of trip C's for $1.5K more & we have...

C _ N S T A N T L _

C _ A N G I N G

C _ A N N E L S

...it's hard to be CONSTANTLY CHANGING CHANNELS if you're a fan of Maggie, who just won another $8,250 in cash & coffee stuff, $11,250 overall.

PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $7,750

Song Lyrics make up the Mystery Round board this time. First from Katrina are three T's for $900 & six E's, but she then Bankrupts next to the Wild Card to give back $650. Secondly, Mitch captures four R's for $1,200, an I & O, an S for the WC & he tries to solve this now...

T _ R E E / _ _ E E R S

_ O R / T _ E / R E _

_ _ I T E / _ _ _

_ _ _ E

...he gets "THREE CHEERS FOR THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE" from "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean" to get $300 in vowel fees back & keep control.

SOLE BANKRUPT: Katrina

The category of the very important Prize Puzzle Round's Phrase. He uses that WC right away to call two T's & R's for $7K per pair, then he buys two O's. Following that are three N's for an extra $300 each, a quartet of I's, a $550 G & the rest of the vowels (two A's & U's & an E) & the puzzleboard as we see it...

_ E T / _ O U R

I _ A G I N A T I O N

R U N / _ I _ _

...LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN WILD, sir- you've won another $14,200 & a trip to the Outrigger Reef on the Beach courtesy of Hotwire.com worth $6,035! His first-place score's $21,235 in cash & Hawaii.

PERFECT ROUND #2

TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: DA6426549 (Debra A.)

T-U #3's about Living Things:

_ _ C K I _ _ _ I R D S

Maggie gets the T-U Sweep w/ MOCKINGBIRDS, so up to $14,250 she goes.

Let's ask What Are You Doing? First, she calls for the $300 G & the three N's to quadruple that amount; following her obvious buying of two I's is a dud of S. Second for Katrina are two T's at $550 per appearance, the same number of O's but then the same Bankrupt that she hit earlier to cost her $850. Third, Mitch lights up a $300 R but then buys the sole dud vowel on the board (U). Returning to Maggie, she gets the $600 L at the start, the E & a $300 H before...

L E _ R N I N G / H O _

T O / _ N I T

...she wins another $1,600 towards LEARNING HOW TO KNIT, so she inches to $15,850 in cash & merchandising.

DUDS: $300 S (Maggie), U (Mitch)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Katrina

The ID of the next solution's Around the House. Katrina's base letter is a negative of T. Mitch then calls another dud of R, which means Maggie's next w/ a Free Play E but then the other Bankrupt ends her turn. On Katrina's next go-round, she calls up a $300 N before Bankrupting in the exact same fashion as she's done twice before & it's Last Chance Mode time...

_ _ _ _ _ _ N _

_ E _ _

...$1,600's the value of each of the remaining consonants. After an H's called...

M _ H _ G _ N _

D E S K

...Katrina avoids getting gooseegged thanks to a MAHOGANY DESK to the tune of $4,800. Maggie goes home w/ $15,850 in cash & prizes and Mitch's won the match w/ $21,235 in cash & trip!

$41,885 in cash & merchandise has been won so far tonight.

DUDS:
Prior to final bell: $800 R (Mitch), $550 T (Katrina)
After it: B (Mitch), C (Mitch), L (Maggie)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (females)

TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH: $1,800

Big Money Round #77: Mitch whips up the M in GAME & Things is the BMR category. Starting w/:

_ E _ _ _ N _

_ _ _ S

GCDA adds...

_ E D D _ N G

_ _ _ S

...he gets as close as WEDDING KISS & WEDDING BLISS before going off course w/ BEDDING. He definitely won't be making $30K worth of WEDDING VOWS here & leaves w/ $21,235 in cash & Aloha State.

J!: Dan McShane's part of the program's best run of returning champions in at least a long time. His challengers this evening:

Jennifer Osorio (Huntington Beach)- Librarian
Bryan Barnett (Potomac Falls, VA)- Military charter flight attendant

Tuesday's First Six:

SLIM VOLUMES
STATE OF THE UNION
GOING TOO "FUR"
IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
JONATHAN SWIFTIES
COMIC STRIPS

Dan's barely leading at the halfway point in the Jeopardy! Round, $3K to Bryan's $2,200 & Jennifer's $2,400. It Might Surprise You that Dan ends said topic w/ a Photo Daily Double at $4,800; Jennifer has Dan's former first-half score of $3K & Bryan's down to $1,400. Dan's wager is $1,200 on this:

It's NOT one large bone below the waist; it's five bones- the coccyx, ilium, ischium, pubis & sacrum.

"What is the pelvis?"...correct to be right on the doorstep of Lock Game Territory w/ $6K. Not enough time for the final Slim Volumes clue, but he's in LGT now w/ $7,200 to Jennifer's $3,200 & Bryan's $2,400.

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $400 (Jonathan Swifties)
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $2,400
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $2,800

Double Jeopardy! Lineup:

ARCHITECTURE
SOUNDS LIKE A CAPITAL CITY
MOTORCYCLE MAKERS
MISSING LINKS
PLATE TECTONICS
COMICS STRIP

We have our second Photo/Video DD of the night under the middle clue about Architecture & it's found by Bryan w/ $6,800; he's trailing Dan by $5,200 for first place, but he's only $400 out of second. After slightly doing a Sean Connery impression, Bryan bets four grand on this by Jimmy Maguire from outside the New York Stock Exchange:

The six Corinthian columns of the NYSE facade are among the regions the building's considered a masterpiece of this architectural style, the true inspiration for Greek in Roman models.

"What is Neoclassic?"...he shouts for a good reason & now shoots to $10,800! But we run out of time before the last DD can be found underneath either the last two Motorcycle Makers answers or the last three Plate Tectonics spots.

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $2K (Architecture)
UNATTEMPTED LACH TRASH: $4,800
TOTAL DJ! LACH TRASH: $6,800

After DJ! Round:

Dan: $10,800
Bryan: $8K
Jennifer: $7,200

CORYAT SCORES:

Dan: $10,600
Bryan: $5,200
Jennifer: $7,200

FINAL JEOPARDY! SUBJECT: Rulers in History.

Born in 1672 & named for a Saint, in 1703, he founded a city whose name represents both of them.

Jennifer Osorio's final response was "Who is Peter the Great?"...she nearly doubles up to $14,399 w/ that right question, but after Bryan Barnett BUSTS due to running out of time, Dan wins again w/ $16,001! Three-match total: $40,401.
