EPISODE #6214: HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

$1K Tossup: TITLE

M _ _ _ _ / _ _ A !

Laura solves the Broadway musical “MAMMA MIA!”. Tonight’s and tomorrow’s women really need to step up given how badly things have been going this week…

Laura Leu: freelance writer (and part of Coney Island Sideshow School) married to Adam 3 years w/ one daughter from Brooklyn

Bree Ramsey: solutions specialist for large telecommunications co. and mom of three sons from Vista, CA

Jamie Greifenberger: 6th Grade Math teacher at Mt. Olive MS married to Jeremy w/ one son who enjoys doing jigsaw puzzles and is working on her 2nd Master’s degree from Netcong, NJ

IMO, Jamie kinda looks like Food Network personality Alex Guarnaschelli (one of the judges on “Chopped”).

$2K Tossup: PERSON

_ _ C I S I O N
_ A _ E R

Bree takes control w/ DECISION MAKER.

FEATURED SS: Beyond the Rack

Round 1: PHRASE

For the third night in a row, the game starts w/ an insta-BANKRUPT; in Bree’s case, it’s the MDW’s left side. Second, Jamie has the same fate next to $2,500. Third, Laura calls up an $800 N and three $700 T’s, buys three pairs of I’s, O’s and E’s, but then strikes out w/ the R. Bree next runs into the other normal BANKRUPT. Jamie tries again w/ a $700 S, buys the other two vowels of A and U, but then says a baddie of L. Laura follows suit w/ an $800 Y, a $700 J, a $600 M, but then the LOSE A TURN. Bree then lights up a $600 H, two D’s to x4 the 6 Benjamins, and triple P’s for the 1/2 CAR near the orange $900 to complete the board…

I T / J U S T / P O P P E D
I N T O / M Y / H E A D

…and reads the above for $3,900. I believe there was a null cycle edited out early on in the spinning.

AIRED DUDS: R (Laura), L (Jamie)
AIRED LaT: Laura
AIRED BANKRUPTS: 3 (Bree 2x, Jamie)

Mystery Round: THINGS

Jamie’s next chance to get on the board begins w/ three N’s for $2,400, four A’s, a D for the shopping spree, four E’s, and the last vowel of I. She follows w/ a G for the other available 1/2 CAR, a $900 R, two $800 T’s, and two $600 L’s before we turn to the board…

_ A T _ _ I N G
_ R A _ E L E T
A N D / N E _ _ L A _ E

…she solves MATCHING BRACELET AND NECKLACE for a total of $12,350 cash & shopping.

Laura: $1K/Bree: $5,900 1/2 CAR/Jamie: $12,350 cash & SS 1/2 CAR

PP/Express Round: WAYD?

Laura leads off on a sour note w/ the other MDW BANKRUPT. Down Bree’s path second are a $500 G, two $800 N’s, an O, but then the BANKRUPT near $650 to lose the $1,850 remainder. Third, Jamie lights up nothing w/ a T request. Laura resumes her play w/ three S’s for the 1/2 CAR near the pink $900, two I’s, but then the sole dud vowel of E. The next letters for Bree are a $650 C, three $600 L’s, two A’s, but then M for mistake. Back to Jamie who says a $1,200 pair of R’s, but then LaTs out. Laura then fills in a $900 D and the last vowel of two U’s…

_ A S _ I N G / I N
_ O R L D – C L A S S
L U _ U R _

…another $1,650 is hers and she’ll be BASKING IN WORLD-CLASS LUXURY at the Dreams Sugar Bay Resort in ST. THOMAS worth $7,125.

Jeremy the hubby is here, and here comes the C envelope for Jamie.

Category: PHRASE
Let’s start this four-word answer like this…

_ _ _ E / _ _ _ R
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ N _

MDYA is a very good combination because we now have…

_ A _ E / Y _ _ R
M A _ _ _ / _ A N D

WAVE YOUR MAGIC WAND in front of your TVs, people…she makes the solve happen to prevent this week’s shutout from occurring! Now, those last two words should remind you of Plezetta’s $100K win in S26 and that epic 11-second fail for a car from late S29, so let’s hope for either of those to be in her envelope…

…

…nope, but we’ll take a $45K win! She leaves us w/ $62,750 cash & spree!

MY EP. RATING: 7

Great finish to prevent the shutout from happening. Thanks to $45,000 win, my rating is a 8.

Remember the last two words: season 26: it was solved for $100,000 and season 29 it wasn't solved for a Car.
