TPiRecap (this Pregnant Moms episode was taped on November 29th instead of Sept. 6th)

WoF: We're on the "Wheel Loves NY" set for at least tonight. The first Toss-Up offers an unrelated spot On the Map:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ S

_ H _ O

Matt quickly solves COLUMBUS, OHIO to score first. Let's round up this evening's players:

Matt Cox (Bowie, MD)- An engaged systems engineer
Cassandra Baqir (Peoria, AZ)- An I.T. analyst at a healthcare company who also has a black belt in martial arts while she & one-year husband Haydar were in South Korea
Catalina Jacques (Doral, FL; originally from Romania)- A Math teacher who's married to Randy for eight years (& is said to be the most patient man alive)

_ _ _ A T O

M A _ _ _ _

Cassandra solves POTATO MASHER.

After the $5K wedge & the Beef Bucks debit card both go back onto the wheel, the Eggland's Best Jackpot Round subject's Movie Quote. Cassandra first calls a $500 T but then a dud of R. Catalina secondly calls a $550 M, buys two E's but then buys the sole dud vowel of the puzzle (A). Third, Matt puts up a $400 H but then bobbles the A. Back to Cassandra, who says a $400 D, four I's, an F for the Wild Card & the other two pairs of vowels (O's & U's), then going down her alley are an $800 Y but then a negative of G. After Catalina misses out on picking up the blue 1/2 KIA w/ an H repeat, Matt captures the triple L's for an additional $2,700 &...

I F / Y O U

_ U I L D / I T

H E / _ I L L / _ O M E

...exactly recites "IF YOU BUILD IT, HE WILL COME" from "Field of Dreams" for a new cash total of $3,850.

(AIRED) DUDS: A (Catalina), $300 G (Cassandra), $800 R (Cassandra)
(AIRED) DQs: 2 (Matt's A duplication, Catalina's H violation)
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $10,150

(Note: Judging by Pat's comment of "There's no R, either; what's going on here?" early on in that round, it appears a null cycle was edited out of the broadcast.)

First in the Mystery/Before & After Round, Catalina calls a couple T's for $1,100, purchases an E & three A's but then Bankrupts next to where the WC formerly was to give back the remaining $600. Second, Matt Free Plays three I's, then comes an H while on the Mystery Wedge in between that & Lose a Turn. He buys a flip of it for $1K...& has the $10K! Following that are a $300 R, two O's, a $1,200 pair of L's & a solve attempt at the following...

R A _ I O / _ I T _

_ _ _ I _

H A L L

& / O A T E _

...he nails RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL & OATES for an $11,250 payoff in this round, $15,100 in total money & keeps control.

SOLE BANKRUPT: Catalina

Things is the topic of this Prize Puzzle Round. Two S's for a grand start the puzzle out, but he then buys a dud of E. Second for Cassandra are a $500 T, triple A's but then the right-side Bankrupt of the Million Dollar Wedge wipes out the WC & the other half of the $500. Third, Catalina inserts two $300 N's & buys the rest of the vowel department (an I & two O's), followed by a $600 couple of D's but then the other normal Bankrupt. Matt then tries to end this round immediately...

_ A _ _ / D A _ S / A N D

_ O O _ / N I _ _ T S

...& he does, so he's $750 wealthier & will be spending some WARM DAYS AND COOL NIGHTS on his stay at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe in Punta Cana worth $6,360, putting him at $22,210 in cash & trip.

SOLE DUD: E (Matt)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (women)

TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: VO0192763 (Valentin O.)

Wheel Deals! Wednesday Offer of the Week: $40 towards an AVIS car rental for half that value; the SonyCard deducts two more bucks

Closing out the T-Us will be a Landmark:

H I _ _ O _ I C

_ _ _ D M _ _ K

Matt correctly responds w/ HISTORIC LANDMARK to rise even further to $25,210 in cash & trip.

Once again, it's time to ask What Are You Doing? What he first does is get the obvious stuff out of the way w/ the two N's for $600, twin I's, an O & the double G's for an extra C-note. After that is a bad vowel of A. Next, Cassandra chooses a $1.5K set of S's but then L for loss of another turn. Catalina follows w/ twin R's for $1,800, the E as the final vowel, a $300 C & a $500 M before finally going for a solve...

C R O S S I N G / M _

_ I N G E R S

...I'm CROSSING MY FINGERS that she finally gets on the board...& she does to the tune of $2,350.

DUDS: A (Matt), $600 L (Cassandra)

The next Event's the Last Chance Round w/ the consonant value of...$1,300. Once a D's lit at Cassandra's request...

G R _ N D

_ _ _ N _ N G

...she remembers at least one GRAND OPENING of something to finish w/ $3,300. Catalina leaves w/ the $2,350 & Matt's won this upfront game w/ $25,210 in cash & Punta Cana!

Which means that was a $30,860 maingame this evening.

DUDS: L (Cassandra), S (Matt), T (Cassandra)

TONIGHT'S (AIRED) BANKRUPT TRASH (excluding cardboard): $1,800

Big Money Round #78: Matt makes the Bonus Wheel stop on the E in GAME & we close out the Wednesday puzzles w/ back-to-back Event boards. This one begins w/:

_ L _ _ _ - T _ E

_ _ _ _ _ R

He's onto something, my peeps! BFCA adds to the mix...

B L A C _ - T _ E

A F F A _ R

...today's edition of "Deal" was a BLACK-TIE AFFAIR for only Wayne & Jonathan, but this guy's won himself hopefully the same thing that came up from that same envelope exactly a week ago...










































































































































...NO, it's the $30K; he still leaves w/ $55,210 in cash & vacation!

BTW, Pat & Vanna were laughing about something when they came out; in the closing, they don't elaborate on it.
