Let’s hope we have a much sweeter ending than last night’s debacle.
EPISODE #7239: 🍬MAKE LIFE SWEETER🍬
$1K Toss-Up: WAYD?
V I S _ _ I N _ / _ _ E
C _ N D _ / S _ O R _
Levon could be VISITING THE CANDY STORE w/ at least a grand in his pockets. Meeting him and the ladies right now…
Levon Derkalousdian: a guy studying for the bar exam who’s learning to play the piano and has a sister who’s a nurse from Glendale
Yvette Bentley: supervisor for 911 operators and police dispatchers married to Brian w/ four kids and four grandkids from L.A.
Dianne Swanson: recently retired teacher of 22 yrs. who’s married w/ two kids and six grandkids from Long Beach
$2K Toss-Up: OCCUPATION
W _ _ D I N G
_ _ A N _ _ _
Levon’s two for two w/ WEDDING PLANNER.
Round 1: FOOD & DRINK
He’s off and running w/ three T’s for $2,700, a $900 R, buys of E and four A’s, but then the BANKRUPT near TD to lose $3,100. Second, Yvette calls up three S’s for $1,650, an O buy, three W’s for the Cookie Jam prize wedge (Pat mistakenly called it the gift tag — whoops), three I’s to wipe out the vowel shop, a $1,400 H pair, and a $1,200 K pair. We have…
_ A _ I _ _ A
_ I _ K S H A K E
W I T H / T W O
S T R A W S
She sips a VANILLA MILKSHAKE WITH TWO STRAWS for $15,250.
SOLE BANKRUPT: Levon
Mystery/Crossword Round: _________ SUGAR
Fresh off her R1 win, Yvette starts the search w/ a $600 B, and two R’s on the MW near LaT before she goes for another possible $10K wedge… but the news isn’t good. Dianne secondly wastes a turn w/ the MDW’s left side. Levon thirdly lights up an N for the gift tag, two O’s and three E’s, an $1,800 W trio, a single A, but the last vowel is NOT an I. Yvette then lights up a $3,500 P (huh?!)…
- P O W _ E R E _
- _ A
- B R O W N W
- E
…I was hoping she said the D’s instead, but she gets the remaining sugar things of POWDERED and PURE.
SOLE DUD: I (Levon)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (ladies)
Levon: $3K/Yvette: $18,750/Dianne: SCORELESS
PP/Express Round: PLACES
Here goes Dianne w/ the calling of a $700 T, a single E, a $1,200 S pair, two A’s, but she and Levon LaT out back-to-back. Yvette finds a $500 N, but the BANKRUPT near TD wipes her out. Dianne gets up there a FP I, the other two vowels of O and U, but then M for mistake on EXPRESS. Levon just misses the EXPRESS, but he says B for bad anyway. Yvette FPs an H, but BANKRUPTs in the same spot again. Dianne then says two L’s for $1,300…
L U S H
T _ O _ I _ A L
_ A _ _ E N S
She’s on the board w/ $2,200 and will be visiting the LUSH TROPICAL GARDENS of ANTIGUA while at the Galley Bay Resort & Spa worth $9,320.
