Round 1: PEOPLE
She starts us off w/ a $1,500 N trio, a $650 S, a $1,300 pair of D’s, seven E’s, and three A’s. But after a $650 T is the BANKRUPT near TD to lose $3,600. Second, Ed gets the WC w/ three H’s, but NOT the MDW w/ a C call. Kevin, however, gets that sparkly green wedge w/ two R’s, but misses w/ F. Stormy then puts up a $1,300 pair of M’s…

Both men strike out on the spot w/ R and T, respectively. Third in line, Stormy digs up three N’s for the 1/2 CAR near $600, an E, two I’s, and a G for the other 1/2 CAR. Next are a $500 W, the last vowel of O, an L for the sears wedge…but then M for MAJOR DUD to leave $24,240 cash & prizes sitting there. Ed then puts up a $500 D, the last vowel of A, and a $1,300 pair of C’s. The near-complete board…

PP/Express Round: WAYD?
Here goes Kevin w/ a $900 N, four E’s, three A’s, an S for the 1/2 CAR near $900, four $500 T’s, but then a baddie of O. Stormy then plugs in the obvious twin G’s for $1,200, and a $2,400 P trio…

$100K Bonus Round
It was won on the Friday episode of “Shopping Spree”, and it’s back again — the ’17 Ford Explorer XLT. Stormy brought along dad Joe, Joe’s longtime significant other Jean, and friend Susie; she lands on the N in WIN.
Category: THING
Two letters in the bottom to start…
_ / _ _ _
_ _ _ T _ R
DHMA only gives her the obvious vowel…
A / _ _ _
_ A _ T _ R
No extra consonants for her on the board was A BIG FACTOR in this $34K loss.
MY RATING: 6
I’ll see you Wednesday night after the election.
