LMaD: Before we can begin the week's trading floor action, we need a couple- David & Mildred (who've been married for three years & been together for about 11). They choose the BIG BOX, which has something worth $1K+:
Gum- $1,800
SB ($2K+)- Five-night trip to the British Colonial Hilton Nassau ($8,250)
CURTAIN #1- Gorilla fortune teller booth
BB- Michael Kors shoes ($1,066)
Potentially playing the LOTTO are Jake (who's wearing a black afro), Nicole (who's wearing a pink hat & suspenders) & Kaitlyn (dressed as a lion).
Jake: Red- $250
Nicole: Green- $100
Kaitlyn: Blue- WIN
PAYOFFS:
Wayne: $5K
Tiffany: $3K
Jonathan: $80 (rounded up from the posted $79.95, of course)
CAR (CURTAIN #3): Nissan Sentra 2.0 ($16,972)
PICKS: #1, #4 & #7
1. #1- SENTRA
2. #4- TIFFANY
BAILOUT
What's behind CURTAIN #2 for her's the $3,399 Yamaha ATV.
FINAL SCRATCH-OFF: #7- WAYNE (Other Sentra: #2)
Amina's Fast Deal Decision (an administrative assistant for six doctors dressed as Little Red Riding Hood): CURTAIN #1- Mt. Rushmore/Yellowstone Tour (Fortune Cookie Cash: $222)
Rebecca's FD Decision W/ Wayne's Diary (modern princess)(BB has something that more than one human can handle): BB ($2K)- Spaghetti w/ a giant meatball
They're going to try again to give away the same Sentra (now behind Curtain #1) in Go for a Spin; Charlotte's wearing a non-fake afro.
Mashed Potatoes & French Fries: FF- YOU BET
Online Shopping & Mall Shopping: Online- NO
Watch the Movie & Read the Book: Watch- YES
After removing both ZONKS on the upper part of the Wheel of Jeopardy, she gives back the assured $1K...but she should've taken off the one in between $500 & $1K.
In Majority Rules, Brandi (police officer), Keara (peacock) & Kevin (caveman) all decide on CURTAIN #3:
SB (freebie)- MacBook Air ($1,599)
CURTAIN #2 (hot)- Jacuzzi ($5,970)
SE- (Lost in the) Bermuda Triangle Getaway
CURTAIN #3 (they all declined $900 as well)- Wii fitness center ($2,790)
Michelle's first tempted w/ what's from Jonathan's Diary behind CURTAIN #1 as read by both Wayne & Tiffany- something outside. Instead, she takes what's in the SB (in front of CURTAIN #2).
CURTAIN #1- Giant hatching chicken
SE- One monthly facial by Visage by Marie-Claire for half a yr. ($5K)
SB- Laura's Jewelry white gold hoop earrings ($3,400)
THE BIG DEAL: Even though she didn't get the facials to move up to the top of the BD standings, because Amina keeps her $4.5K tour, Michelle moves right on to the big part of the show. It's a toss-up between DOORS #1 & #2 to me & she chooses #2...WRONG- she slightly trades down to a $2,243 kitchen.
#1- Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ($19,305) & trip to the COURTYARD Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort ($5,747)
#3- Bedroom ($6,415)
FF: I have a feeling this will be the other week of episodes this season w/ the blue background on the show's big board logo.

Dean Acheson
"What is Secretary of State?"...yup for $1.5K. Once we go to break, Lizzie's on the board w/ four pictures of Benjamin Franklin & Robert's slightly in Lock Game Territory at $3,400. When time runs out in the round, here's what gets left behind:

Chris' just having fun (earlier in this round, he gave away a correct response even though he didn't ring in!), so he bets the lot on this clue:
Put on your cap & gown & name this Edward Legar composition (which was also the tune for most of "Macho Man" Randy Savage's pro wrestling career).
"What is 'The Land of Hope & Glory'?" is ABSOLUTELY ACCEPTABLE for "Pomp & Circumstance". The time runs out right after that.

For the $50K (remember, the runners-up each earn a minimum of $10K), Lizzie also goofed w/ "Who is Tina Fey?"; the right person is Bill Cosby. She risked...$9,800, so Gibbs wins!
