WoF: The second half of the sears Secret Santa Sweepstakes starts right this instant, w/ the $1K Toss-Up puzzle category being Quotation:

R _ U _ D / A N D

_ O _ _ D / S _ _ / _ _ _ S

You won't hear this often if at all on this show anymore- Melanie says "ROUND AND ROUND SHE GOES" for $1K. The next three Secret Santas:

Melanie Bowerman (L.A.)- A local non-profit environmental education teacher for local city kids
married to Garrett
Felix Maldonado (Boston)- A stay-at-home dad who has a 16-year relationship w/ his HS sweetheart Millie
Bonnie Rutschilling (Celina, OH)- A lady whose husband Jim has been in love w/ Vanna for 30 years

This $2K TU's a Landmark:

_ _ _ / _ _ F _ _ L

_ _ _ _ _

Melanie quickly puts away THE EIFFEL TOWER to triple up.

As a Same Name puzzle goes up for the Eggland's Best Jackpot Round, she calls a quick dud of S. Felix secondly calls a $500 R & a T to double that while on the Jackpot, buys an A & two E's but then loses a turn w/ a P call. Third, Bonnie calls a $500 N for the blue 1/2 KIA & two L's for another $600, purchases a U, two I's & three O's to clean out the vowels & calls three B's for $1.5K more & the other 1/2 KIA before we see the following...

B U L L E T I N / &

B O O _ I E

B O A R _

...for the first time ever, the 2012 KIA Soul's been won in a Jackpot Round after she solves BULLETIN & BOOGIE BOARD! That's a total in cash & car of $16,850!

DUDS: $500 P (Felix), $550 S (Melanie)
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $8,350

(Note: The video footage of said KIA's different than it has been in the past.)

We need a Husband & Wife for this Mystery Round. First, Felix calls two N's for $1,200 but then buys the only negative vowel on the board (I). Second, Bonnie calls for two S's to get that See's Candies gift tag & two R's for $1,200, then she buys an A, calls out an $800 H & buys four O's. The board...

O _ _ _ / &

S H A R O N

O S _ O _ R N _

...she solves OZZY & SHARON OSBOURNE for another $2.5K in cash & sweets, giving her a new bounty of $19,350 in cash & merchandise.

SOLE DUD OF THE ROUND: I (Felix)

Not only that, she'll start the Prize Puzzle Round that has the Fun & Games theme. First up her alley this go-round are three N's for $1.5K but then a dud vowel of E. On her next turn, Melanie calls three S's for $900 but then buys the other bad vowel available (A). Third, Felix gets a $400 H, three I's, a $400 G, but he then Bankrupts on the left side of the Million Dollar Wedge to lose $550. That allows Bonnie to try to get another solve under her belt...

_ _ _ N H I _ _ / &

_ _ _ S S - _ _ _ N _ _ _

S _ I I N G

...& she does so for the remaining $1,250 in her bank for that round plus a chance to do some DOWNHILL & CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING during a $5,100 stay at the Ober Gatlinburg in Tennessee w/ ORBITZ airfare, for new winnings of $25,700.

...& she's just seen a $3,200 CELEBRITY SIGHTING for a final championship total of $31,900 in cash & goodies! Melanie has the $3K in TU dough & Felix & his Wheel Watchers Club member each receive the $1K consolation.

That means $35,900 in cash & merchandising have been sent out the door thus far tonight.

DUDS: D (Melanie), K (Melanie), M (Bonnie), O (Felix) & P (Bonnie)

TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH: $550
