_ _ _ _ T / _ _ _ _ _ O
P _ E

We’re a month away from Thanksgiving, and Rachel takes a bite of some SWEET POTATO PIE.

TONIGHT’S GE: Ireland

Round 1: EVENT

She picks up the eBags gift tag right away w/ two T’s, but then buys the only dud vowel of the board (E). Second, Lindsey calls out two N’s for $1,600, three I’s, and the obvious two $650 G’s before wasting a FP usage w/ E and striking out w/ H. Third, Timothy takes three R’s for $1,800, three A’s, a D for the WC, and two U’s before we see…

G R A D U A T I N G
_ I R _ T / I N
_ _ U R / _ _ A _ _

…GRADUATING FIRST IN YOUR CLASS would be great, but he only makes $1,800 when he could’ve gone for the S’s.

DUDS: E (Rachel; repeated by Lindsey), H (Lindsey)

Rachel: $2K/Lindsey: $1K/Timothy: $1,800 WC

————-

Mystery Round: BEFORE & AFTER

Lindsey first lands on the 1/2 CAR near the pink $600, but can’t pick it up w/ an S. Second, Timothy tries two N’s for $1,200, three A’s, two FP I’s and two C’s while on the MW near LaT. He risks $950 to find…$$$. He next FPs two D’s, buys the remaining two O’s and U’s, but then says a possibly fatal dud of M to leave $11,450 on the table. After Rachel LaTs out, Lindsey proceeds to call two L’s for a grand, a FP dud of G, and a $1K pair of R’s to leave only one letter unrevealed…

C A N A D I A N
_ O R D E R
C O L L I E

…a CANADIAN BORDER COLLIE has fetched another two grand for her.

DUDS: S (Lindsey), M (Timothy)
SOLE LaT: Rachel

Rachel: $2K/Lindsey: $3K/Timothy: $1,800 WC

PP/Express Round: PHRASE

Timothy the lead-off man picks two L’s for $1,800, three E’s, but the M fails him again while he’s on TD. Second, Rachel climbs aboard the EXPRESS after putting up three D’s…but her next call of V causes her to go bust. Third, Lindsey has her first taste of LaT. Timothy then inserts the $700 W and buys two I’s…

I / W _ _ L D / _ E
D E L I _ _ _ E D

…I WOULD BE DELIGHTED if he makes the solve…he does for $2K and a trip to the Riu Palace in ST. MAARTEN worth $6,286.

SOLE NON-BANKRUPT DUD: M (Timothy)
SOLE LaT: Lindsey
SOLE BANKRUPT DUD: V (Rachel)

Rachel: $2K/Lindsey: $3K/Timothy: $10,086 cash & trip WC

$3K Tossup: SHOW BIZ

B _ _ _ _ _ _ S T

This episode isn’t a LIVE BROADCAST, but Lindsey doubles her three grand.

Round 4: THING

A $1,500 trio of T’s starts this answer, followed by three I’s, but then the sole dud vowel of O. Second, Timothy requests a $650 R, buys a single A, but the BANKRUPT near $650 forces him to give up $400 and the WC. Third, Rachel has her second LaT of the game. Lindsey continues her path w/ a $500 N, the remaining vowels, two FP S’s, two G’s and L’s at $1K per pair, and a $650 D. We have…

S I D E S _ L I T T I N G
L A U G _ T E R

…she solves SIDESPLITTING LAUGHTER for $4,650.

SOLE DUD: O (Lindsey)
SOLE LaT: Rachel
SOLE BANKRUPT: Timothy

Rachel: $2K/Lindsey: $10,650/Timothy: $10,086 cash & trip

Speed-Up Round: WAYD?

$1,500 per consonant again. After that man uncovers the L (first letter of the last word)…

_ _ S _ T _ N G
T H _ / L _ _ R _ R Y

…Timothy isn’t VISITING THE LIBRARY just yet, because he’s won $4,500 and a ticket to Bonusland.
