Charis IDs
LUCKY PENNY.Up for grabs from the desert trip department's a stay at the Sorrel River Ranch resort & spa courtesy of Hotwire.com worth $5,415; the topic of this Meineke Jackpot Round's
Same Name.
Charis goes first by instantly Bankrupting on the
Million Dollar Wedge's right part. Second,
Sara calls a T for the
Wild Card, but then misses out on a potential chance to use it when she duds out on the
$2.5K wedge w/ an N call. Third,
Scott hits the other Bankrupt of the
MDW. Fourth,
Charis calls three S's for $900, buys two A's, calls for a
Free Play E but then Loses a Turn. Next up for
Sara are a
$2.5K L & R (the latter coming on the
WC use), two I's, a $900 P, but then the normal Bankrupt next to
$2.5K to lose $5,650. Once
Scott regains control, he calls a $550 V, buys an O to round out the vowels & inserts a
$500 V for a
1/2 KIA before saying D for dud.
Charis then calls the two C's for an additional $1,200 & we have...
L A S / V E G A S / &
C O _ I C
S T R I P
...& she solves
LAS VEGAS & COMIC STRIP for new cash winnings of $3,850.
DUDS: $900 D (Scott), $2.5K N (Sara)
SOLE LaT: Charis
BANKRUPTS: 3 (Everybody)
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $14,250
Sara starts the Mystery Round w/
Food & Drink as the topic, first by calling triple the T's for $2,700, buying two I's, calling a
$500 H for a
1/2 KIA from the other available spot & purchasing quad E's & A's, followed by two N's for six more bills but then the same regular Bankrupt to cost her
that plate & $3,300. Second,
Scott gets up there an M while on the
Mystery Wedge w/ that
MDW nearby. He takes the obvious gamble...& it
pays off! After that come a $1,650 trio of L's, a D for the Camping World
gift tag, the rest of this puzzle's vowels (an O & two U's)...& the following...
O A T M E A L / _ I T H
_ L U E _ E _ _ I E _
A N D / _ A L N U T _
...he eats some
OATMEAL WITH BLUEBERRIES AND WALNUTS for a total this round of $12,150 in cash & camping gear, making his overall bank $13,150.
SOLE BANKRUPT: Sara
He also stays in command at the
Prize Puzzle Round's beginning (remember, as of this taping week, it's permanently in R3); category's
Phrase. His opening letter choices are two N's for $1,200, four E's & an O, then coming his way are two D's for another grand, trip A's, a $400 W, but then the only negative vowel up there this round (I).
Charis decides to ring in...
_ E A D _ / _ O _ / A
N E W / A D _ E N _ _ _ E
...& she's
READY FOR A NEW ADVENTURE- it's a $9,700 Celebrity Cruise to the Mediterranean, so w/ $13,550 in cash & cruise, she has a $400 first-place margin.
SOLE DUD: I (Scott)
