And for next week, I’ve called in @jpgenius to do the first three days of America’s Game II, while I do the last two to get December started.

WoF Recap: 🛍Black Friday 2022🛍

EPISODE #7675: 🏫COLLEGE WEEK🏫

$1K Toss-Up: EVENT

_ _ P
_ A _ _ Y

I’m sure Kellen’s school had a PEP RALLY in regards to his upcoming national TV appearance. He’s not the only guy of this Black Friday panel…

Kellen Franklin (Fisk Univ.): sophomore who’s obsessed w/ Beyoncé and gelato and wanted to go to law school from Long Beach, CA

Mia Depta (Purdue): sophomore studying elementary education who wanted to be a teacher ever since she was younger (and there are teachers in her family) and is a fan of Taylor Swift from Crown Point, IN

David Szilagyi (UC-Riverside): senior studying mechanical engineering hoping to be an engineering professor and project lead at the Marine Energy Collegiate Competition who does a lot of rock climbing from Riverside, CA

$2K Toss-Up: PERSON

T _ _ / _ _ A _ / O F
_ _ E / S _ _ _ 

THE STAR(s) OF THE SHOW are Pat & Vanna and Kellen has won the right to spin first.

LAST CONTIKI TRIP THIS WEEK: EGYPT

Round 1: BEFORE & AFTER

Kellen: two T’s for MDW right away, BANKRUPT near $650 just as quick 

Mia: $500 R, $800 S, one A, BANKRUPT near the big one (lost $1,050)

David: $600 L, $1,700pair, three E’s, $650 B, three I’s, M for mistake on WC

Kellen: SPINGLE for $500 P, solve…

P E R I _ _ I _ 
T A B L E
T E N N I S

There’s no such sport called PERIODIC TABLE TENNIS, but Kellen’s correct for the house minimum.

Mystery Round: COLLEGE LIFE

Mia: two T’s for WC, A for awful 

David: $1K S pair, two E’s, $850 N, two U’s, same BANKRUPT Mia got (lost $1,350)

Kellen: just solves…

_ U _ _ N _ / U S E _ 
T E _ T _ _ _ _ S

There were two B’s he left behind as he makes another house minimum solve w/ BUYING USED TEXTBOOKS.

Mia: WC/David: NIL/Kellen: $5K

Even though I understand Kellen’s afraid of BANKRUPTS, the scoreboard SHOULDN’T be like this going into the next round…


PP/Express Round: PHRASE

David: $1K S pair, $1,300 T pair, $650 N, triple E’s, $1,800 L trio, $500 R, one O, $800 B…

L _ _ E / _ S / B E T T E R
_ N / _ L _ _ – _ L O _ S

but he falls for the V trap (he was definitely thinking LOVE), so $5,550 has gone to waste and Kellen responds w/ “LIFE IS BETTER IN FLIP-FLOPS” for a trip to the Grand Case Beach Club in ST. MARTIN worth $9K.

Mia: WC/David: NADA/Kellen: $14K cash & St. Martin


Triple Toss-Up: WAYD?

1.

S E _ D _ N G / T O _ S
O _ / M _ S S A G _ _ 

All of these have “tons of” in the middle and Kellen might be SENDING TONS OF MESSAGES about his WoF appearance.

2.

W A T _ _ _ _ _ / _ O _ S
_ _ / _ I D _ O _ 

Mia has been WATCHING TONS OF VIDEOS and she’s finally off the schneid.

3.

_ A S _ I N _ / T _ _ S
_ _ / _ _ _ E

Mia’s not WASTING TONS OF TIME trying get herself back into the game.

Speed-Up: OCCUPATION

Good news, Mia — you’ve just spun $6K per consonant!

Mia: 2 R’s
David: T
Kellen: S

S _ _ T _ _ R _ 
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ R

Kellen’s a letter short w/ SOFTWARE ENGINEER, but he gets the right one of SOFTWARE DEVELOPER just before the buzzer for $6K. And Pat came over to hug him.

FINAL SCORES

You know, I’m just shocked how someone like Kellen who plays the game conservatively would end up winning…

GT: an underwhelming $27K
BANKRUPT TRASH (minus MDW): $2,400

Kellen will pick from…

  • THING
  • EVENT
  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

He’s going for WAYD? like Noah from last night.


$100K Bonus Round

After we see Kellen’s mom and grandma, he lands on the N in WIN. You may want to avoid doing this while you’re sleeping…

_ _ _ _ N _ / _ _ 
_ T / N _ _ _ T

GHPI are all up there, but it’s no guarantee he’ll still get this…

_ _ _ I N G / _ P
_ T / N I G H T

he blows the top line w/ GOING OUT, BOWING OUT, and ADDING UP, so he won’t be WAKING UP AT NIGHT to find a $40K check in his mailbox.

MY RATING: 5
