Third, Nick puts in two F’s for a grand, two M’s for $600 and two I’s to clean out the vowels. After those picks are a $500 G, a $600 H, a $350 P, but then the other normal BANKRUPT to clean him out of $2,800 and the WC…

MY EP. RATING: 6
Wow, a NEW record for Triple Stumpers…everyone did OK at least. And I don't like saying this but why they picked Ashley to be the blogger is beyond me…should've been Molly.

I agree. Even most of the $100K winners last season weren't the bloggers — Cat Doebler (cleaned up in Jackpot Round), Cindy Kling (new non-million record), Jeff Ellingson (confetti came very late) and Tasha Trujillo (could've won the $10K MW and the Sonic)

Wow. But they'd put most of the biggest winners of the season before Molly on the blogs. Very unfair.

Like Pat said, it (the Bonus Puzzle) was meant to be for Ashley…she's a big fan of the Beatles.
