$1K Toss-Up: OCCUPATION

_ _ _ _ / _ _ H _ _ L
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Dan, HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER is too short.

_ _ _ _ / _ _ H _ _ L
_ _ _ N _ _ _ _ _

Corrie capitalizes w/ HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL. She’s the only lady of this midweek panel (first one this season w/ two men)…

Corrie Cockle: kindergarten teacher for 23 yrs. in Anaheim married to Brian for 22 yrs. w/ two kids and two dachshunds (Bailey Graf and Frankie Federer) from Garden Grove

Dan Moroaica (cirkumvent on BAV): social studies teacher at Beverly Hills HS since 2005 and comic book collector (he has about 8K of ’em) who plays the guitar and is married to Beronica (yes, w/ a B) w/ three daughters from Pico Rivera

Milton Martin, Jr.: elementary education teacher for 25 yrs. (he teaches a combination class of fourth and fifth graders) at Dailard ES in San Diego married to Heather w/ two kids from Spring Valley

$2K Toss-Up: PEOPLE

P _ _ _ T I _ E
R O _ _ / _ _ _ _ L

Corrie shows that she’s a POSITIVE ROLE MODEL.

FEATURED TRIP: Cowboy Country (includes visits to Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Old Faithful, and Mount Rushmore) from collette worth $8,698

Round 1: TITLE

But she and Dan get instant penalties (her on the MDW’s left side, him on LaT). Going to Milton already who calls up four T’s for $3,600, but the same MDW BANKRUPT strikes. Corrie restarts w/ four H’s for $2,400, four E’s, and a $5K W pair (so close to BANKRUPT) before she goes for a quick solve…

T H E / _ _ _ _
T H E / W _ T _ H
_ _ _ / T H E
W _ _ _ _ _ _ E

She nails the C.S. Lewis novel “THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE” for $7,150 and $10,150 so far.

INSTA-LaT: Dan
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Corrie, Milton)

Mystery Round: SAME LETTER

Dan says an automatic dud of T while on the Pilot Pen gift tag. Second, Milton gets a $650 R, but then L for loss on the Cowboy Country tour. Third, Corrie takes a $10,500 S trio, buys of E and two A’s, a $600 N after dodging the BANKRUPT near $650, but then M for mistake. Both men quickly BANKRUPT back-to-back (Dan got the one near $650 while Milton loses his own $650 to the one near TD), so we’re coming right back to Corrie who lands on the MW near $650 and lights up two C’s before adding the sure $2K to her $10,600. But after buying the last vowels of I and two O’s, she says F for flunk while on the other MW (she fell for the FOODS and FINGERS trap). Dan then uncovers the SL of three B’s on the MW near $650 and risks the SL money…he got the right one. The board…

B O O _ S

Corrie: $10,150/Dan: $11K/Milton: ZIPPO

PP/Express Round: WAYD?

Here goes Milton w/ the calling of a $600 N, a $650 G, the obvious I, a $1,300 T pair, two A’s, and an H on the EXPRESS before he DECLINES. Turns out it was a blessing in disguise, because his next call of S would’ve wiped him out of $3,050. Corrie’s up second w/ two FP E’s, a $600 R, but then LaT. Dan then spots two L’s for $1,300, a $500 X and two O’s. Board…
