$2K Toss-Up: RHYME TIME

A N D / B I K I N G

LaTrisha just makes it in time w/ the right order of HIKING AND BIKING.

FEATURED NORTHWEST TRIP: AMTRAK Vacations

Round 1: BEFORE & AFTER

She gets started w/ a $600 T, three N’s for the AMTRAK train tour, A and four A’s, but then the BANKRUPT near top dollar to give up $1,600 plus the train tour. Second, Mike calls up a $900 L, two I’s, a $1,300 R pair, the final vowel of O, but then W for worthless. Jennifer then lights up a $7,500 C trio…

C _ I C _ E N
T E N _ E R
L O _ I N _ / C A R E

…and she has some CHICKEN TENDER LOVING CARE (if it really exists) for that much money.

SOLE DUD: W (Mike)
SOLE BANKRUPT: LaTrisha

Mystery Round: THINGS

This round’s all Mike — five S’s for $17,500, six E’s and four I’s to quickly clean out the vowels, four R’s for another two grand and a $1,300 pair of T’s.

I R R E S I S T I _ _ E
_ E S S E R T
R E _ I _ E S

He can buy plenty of IRRESISTIBLE DESSERT RECIPES w/ another $20,300 — BIG PR!

Jennifer: $7,500/LaTrisha: $2K/Mike: $21,300

PP/Express Round: PLACE

All Jennifer here — a $1,400 R pair, four A’s, two E’s and O (the last via FP), a $3,500 T, and the last vowel of I.

A / _ A R A _ I _ E
O _ / E A R T _

She’s won $4,150 and a trip to A PARADISE ON EARTH, The Crane in BARBADOS worth $10,990 — PR #2.

Jennifer: $22,640 cash & Barbados/LaTrisha: $2K/Mike: $21,300

We’ve got quite a match between Jennifer and Mike…

Not sure if he has been to his HIGH SCHOOL REUNION, but Mike’s back in the lead at $25,300.

Round 4: WAYD?

Next on his rundown are a $500 N, I, the obvious $5K G, E, A and O, a $650 T, the last vowel of U, but then L for loss. Jennifer secondly wastes a spin w/ the BANKRUPT near $650. LaTrisha follows w/ a $1,300 S pair, a $600 R, and a $550 M before we look at…

_ R O S T I N G

After Jennifer starts w/ a $500 S and three A’s…

A / _ A _ _ _ _
_ _ / _ A _ _ _ S

…we have another one of those $1,500 Final Spins.

Jennifer: 2 R’s
LaTrisha: F
Mike: 2 L’s

A / _ A R R _ L
_ F / L A _ _ _ S

Mike knows that this game can be a A BARREL OF LAUGHS, so he wins another three grand.

FINAL SCORES
Jennifer: $24,640 cash & Barbados/LaTrisha: $2K/Mike: $33,200

GT: $59,840
BANKRUPT TRASH: $1,600 plus train trip of unknown value

Mike’s given that same EVIL category list like Amy from last night (the first two were flip-flopped)…

  • THING
  • PHRASE
  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

And yes, he goes for WAYD?.

$100K Bonus Round

Mike’s wife is named Claudia; the S in SPIN calls out his name. I know it already…

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

GCMI does some good…

G R _ _ _ I N G / _
_ _ I C _ / _ I T E

He fouls up w/ GRABBING A TRICK KITE when he should’ve been GRABBING A QUICK BITE, so he loses the $37K.

MY RATING: 7
