TPiR: This is the first-ever Twins Episode! All of this morning's prizes, except for trips, come in pairs & each Pricing Game will either have the word "two" being pronounced (regardless of if it has to do w/ said number of not) or have a synonym of the same word in their title. And whether you like it or not, I will tell you right now that in one of today's car games, you have to know the combined price of both automobiles.

The First Four pairs of twins are Laura & Linda Seber, John & Joseph Ahern, Windi Thomas-Holliman & Whitney Savageau and Juan & Josue Rodriguez. The first IUFB's some FUJIFILM camera kits (Gwendolyn & Rachel; "Iris" by Goo-Goo Dolls).

Amy & Charleen from Orange County will each drive home in an all-new $16,205 Scion iQ (Std., Speaker, Storage, Front Mats)(Gwen w/ the silver, Rachel w/ the black)("Do You Miss Me" by Jocelyn Enriquez) if they can just Pick-a-Pair of same-priced grocery items from the following ("Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine)- Birdola Plus, Challenge Butter, Dec-A-Cake decorations, Nilla wafers, Minute Rice (28-ounce box) & Emerald Deluxe Mixed Nuts.

They first choose the butter, which is $3.19. After the people in the back mishear them choosing the rice, their actual second selection's the decorations...which result in a WIN! Thanks a lot, TTM. The wafers & the rice were both $4.19 & both the seed & the nuts were worth $5.99 each.

Video Bonus: PaP for TWO Cars!

(Note: Upon further review, they actually chose the rice second & obviously dumped the rice for the decorations right after that; obviously, part of that segment was edited out.)

FEBRUARY was once used as a bonus puzzle under a similar category back in the 10th Anniversary season (& wasn't solved) and tonight, Devon solves SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, two more items you can find on every calendar. And now, to tonight's interviewing:

Devon Wood (Westchester, PA)- A catering sales manager for a convention center in Philadelphia who once bumped into Pat while she was cleaning up
Ed Ludwig (Omaha, NE)- A telecom specialist married to Amy w/ two daughters
Sara Lytsell (Myrtle Creek, OR)- A dental assistant married to Randy for 15 years w/ a 19 yr. old child named Brandon & is expecting a second child later this yr.

Sara hears some CHIRPING SPARROWS.

Wednesday's WG: Avenue Inn Bed & Breakfast in New Orleans w/ Bed and Breakfast.com airfare ($7K)

IHOP Jackpot Round: Show Biz

Sara has started by calling two R's for 18 bills but then Losing a Turn. Devon secondly calls for a T, but there aren't any. Third, Ed calls triple the N's for $900, buys double E's & quadruple A's, lights up a $300 L & purchases two I's before saying a dud in P. On her second turn of the round, Sara calls a $1,650 D trio, buys the two O's but then goes Bankrupt next to the Wild Card to lose her remaining $3,200. Devon then hits the LaT, allowing Ed to pick up the N.O. wedge w/ an M, then he calls the twin C's for $700 more & buys the U before taking the green 1/2 KIA w/ a $500 Y. But just as his nametag drops, he's dropping to zero, too, because he's Bankrupted next to top dollar, so he's just let his plate & $8,400 in cash & trip slip away. After Sara duds out w/ the B, Devon calls the $1,200 J pairing, $500 G & $300 K before finally choosing to solve...

Mystery Round: Food & Drink

Devon immediately swipes the Vegas.com gift tag w/ a T at the end of the first of the four words on this board, then she calls two $350 R's but then a dud of L. Second, Ed puts in a $1K couple of N's for the other 1/2 KIA, five A's, a pair of $500 B's, a $500 D & an E to complete the second half of this solution, followed by an L bobble while on the WC. Once Sara calls a $500 S for the 1/2 KIA that was first picked up in this episode, she loses both right back to the Million Dollar Wedge's right Bankrupt, her second of the night. The two M's & one W are then called by Devon for an extra $300 apiece to just about finish this puzzle...
