Wow, another improving episode from the step-up, because we might thoight the winner won a trip but it’s from the wedge itself. Calling the GHO combo would’ve sealed the deal.
But now we are in a verge of a skunk x Car sweep since we broke a record on aired car envelope landings. And as mentioned in the last night’s message, there is a hypothesis that $40K and Car envelopes have been evenly spread (and we wonder of the BMW X1 is higher than the minimum?)
Our rating: 6 🙂
Playing Mochi mahyem while awaiting the finale, and either it is S34 or S38 (albeit without the biggie loss on either)…

Andy, Nick, Gopher, Justin, JP or Jerry, do you think that Bellamie had evenly spread the $40K or car envelopes in the wheel, and surely might have removed the $45K as well?

TaRhea seems to not be familiar with the Donut v. Doughnut dilemma.

Nice match between Resti and TaRhea, but I’m surprised the latter missed the bottom word even with the complete first word and we’re on the verge of a skunking/car landing sweep. I had it immediately with the RSTLNE.

I’m surprised TaRhea blanked on DOUGHNUTS. Otherwise, she and Resti had a good match going in the second half.

Just so you know, BAGELS & DOUGHNUTS was the first Bonus Round puzzle since April 17, 2009 (ADVERBS & ADJECTIVES) to have an ampersand in the answer.
