Molly locates PARIS, FRANCE for the tripler.

Round 1: HEADLINE

Her first moves are a $550 R, three E’s, but then the LaT. Second, Kyle calls up a $700 H, a T for the $10K Slots wedge, A, and two I’s, after which come a $500 D, two O’s to clean out the vowels, S and three N’s for $10K more, but then a MAJOR DUD of F for flunk to likely throw away $20,950. Laura then puts up triple $700 B’s and two $700 L’s…

B O B / D _ L A N
_ I N S / T H E
N O B E L / _ R I _ E

…she solves “BOB DYLAN WINS THE NOBEL PRIZE” for the early lead by $500.

SOLE DUD: F (Kyle)
SOLE LaT: Molly

Crossword/Mystery Round: GOLF  ______

Kyle’s road to redemption begins w/ a $7K T pair, four E’s, a $600 N, two U’s and an I, after which come a P for the WC and an M on the MW near $650 before he obviously declines (that’s probably the BANKRUPT one). But he then gets into trouble w/ the MDW’s left side to have $8,350 and the WC torn up to pieces. Laura then inserts a $650 B, the last vowel of O, a $700 L and a $500 R. Grid…

T_OUR_E
EL
E_UIPMENT
B

…she scores a $1,600 birdie w/ COURSE, EQUIPMENT and CLUB, giving her $5,100 now.

SOLE BANKRUPT: Kyle

Kyle: ZERO/Laura: $5,100/Molly: $3K

PP/Express Round: PHRASE

Laura leads off w/ two N’s for the 1/2 CAR near $600, A, but then the sole bad vowel of O. Second for Molly are an $1,800 G pair, two I’s, an S for the Bicycle gift tag, four E’s, four T’s at add $2,600, a U, and a $2,700 H trio. We have…

G E T T I N G
T H E _ E / I S
H A _ _ / T H E / _ U N

…according to her, GETTING THERE IS HALF THE FUN, and she’s won $7,850 plus a trip to that Sandals La Source in GRENADA worth $50 less than the money amount she won that round.

SOLE DUD: O (Laura)

Kyle: BAD SHAPE/Laura: $5,100/Molly: $18,650 cash & Grenada

$3K Toss-Up: OCCUPATION

…w/ a $1,600 FS.
