Amanda's FD Decision: CURTAIN #1 (which has something we've already seen)- Cactus furniture (SE: VIP photo shoot)($2,255)
THE BIG DEAL: Believe it or not, AMY'S GOING FOR IT because she knows she won't get ZONKED. Out of a choice between DOORS #1 & #2, she picks #1. #2 had a small kitchen worth...$6,209. Behind #3 was...THE BD- trips to Curacao ($6,244) & Ireland ($11,840) w/ $4K spending money (that was revealed last on-air). Which means before she possibly makes a deal w/ Jordan to join him on his P.R. vacation, she'll have to settle for that cheaper-than-you-think Sunlighten sauna.
Furthermore, for the first time that I know of on this version of the show, one trader was deemed INELIGIBLE & has been stripped of his/her winnings.

Emily might be a LONG-DISTANCE RUNNER this coming Summer, especially after solving this puzzle.
Monday's Featured Prize: Earth River Expedition in Patagonia, Chile courtesy of Hotwire.com ($9K)
Monday/Wednesday/Friday Gift Tag: seventh GENERATION
IHOP Jackpot Round: Before & After (w/ a recycling truck category wipe that has a $ on it)
Emily's first letters are an N for the Million Dollar Wedge, a $900 R, three E's, a $600 S & two A's (including the obvious one at the end of the first line out of three in this puzzle), followed by D for dud while on that Chile expedition. Secondly, Lindsay gets horned for repeating said consonant. Third, Manny calls triple T's for $1.5K (including one at the very end of this solution) & double M's for the Wild Card, Free PLAYS two O's, picks up the trip w/ a C call & the green 1/2 KIA w/ a P pick. After buying two I's to round out the round's vowels, he finds two $600 L's & an $800 V but then Bankrupts out next to the now-vacated WC to lose that, his plate & $13,750 in cash & prizes. Emily then hits the other one available on the wheel to lose her MDW & a C-note. Right after those spins, Lindsay calls the $400 F...

Mystery Round: Place
Lindsay has lit first two S's for 18 bills & five O's before she Loses a Turn. Second, Manny Bankrupts in the same place as he did late last round. Third, Emily calls a $500 N for the same 1/2 KIA, purchases the same number of I's & has discovered three T's while on the Mystery Wedge next to the invisible MDW. Once she takes the $3K offer (but the $10K was on the back side), she calls an H for the other 1/2 KIA & five more Benjamins. After that's an LaT landing, unfortunately. Lindsay next puts in trip C's for $1.5K extra, an I, but nothing w/ a V call. Then for Manny's a $3,200 quartet of R's & a $550 G before we finally get a look at...

Russia loses its last czar.
"What's the 20th Century?"...correct to go to second at $1,600. He drops slightly to $1,400 at the halfway point in the Jeopardy!

In 1863, George I became king of this country & known as King of the Hellenes.
"What is Greece?"...is right to temporarily get within striking distance of Eliza w/ $6,800. Speaking of Eliza, she's gotten the last of them this evening thanks to the $1,600 Physical Science screen; it's a back-and-forth match between the girls & she's only $200 over Rose, $16,600-$16,400, while Jeff's at $7,200. Eliza bets $1.5K on the following:
In an atom, these particles move in arrangements called orbitals.
