Gaby: $2K/Sarah: $9,450 cash & Barbados/Jonah: $3K


Triple Toss-Up: WAYD?

1.

_ I T T I _ G
_ H _ / _ _ _ K S

We’re “hitting” things, but Gaby blows it w/ HITTING THE SOCKS — there ain’t nobody doing that, girl. -__-

_ I T T I _ G
_ H _ / B _ _ K S

And she said the correct answer after she was ruled incorrect, so Jonah solves HITTING THE BOOKS.

2.

H _ _ _ _ _ G
_ H _ / _ _ M

Jonah takes too long, but he flubs the last word w/ ROOM anyway.

H _ _ _ _ _ G
_ H E / _ _ M

Sarah might have been HITTING THE GYM after this taping.

3.

_ _ _ _ I _ _ / _ _ _ 
_ N O _ Z _ / B _ _ T O N

Gaby gave away the answer to Sarah without ringing in, and so the middle girl has solved HITTING THE SNOOZE BUTTON.

Speed-Up: PHRASE (w/ a ? at the end)

Sarah has spun $1,700 per consonant.

Sarah: 2 S’s
Jonah: 2 T’s
Gaby: H (DUD)
Sarah: 2 R’s
Jonah: P
Gaby: Y
Sarah: N

_ S / _ T / S P R _ N _ 
_ R _ _ _ / Y _ T ?

Sarah asks “IS IT SPRING BREAK YET?” and I say “We’re far from it, but you’ve won $8,500.”.

Round 4H (Gaby)

FINAL SCORES
Gaby: $2K/Sarah: $21,950 cash & Barbados/Jonah: $5K

I’m very surprised and impressed Sarah won over $20K in spite of this messy game.

GT: an underwhelming $28,950
SEASON-WORST BANKRUPT TRASH: a whopping $21,500 cash & prizes

Sarah too gets a generic category list…

  • PERSON
  • PHRASE
  • THING

She goes for PERSON.


$100K Bonus Round

Sarah also didn’t bring anybody, but she lands on the second A of AMERICA’S. Here’s a trio in this one-wordy…

_ _ _ T _ _ E R

She WIPES OUT of the game w/ MPDI and is wrong w/ BUTCHER, CATCHER, WATCHER, and FETCHER. Since she’s not much of a YOUTUBER, she too loses $40K.

MY RATING: 4
