FIRST AND FOREMOST, Manisha solves and we’ll hear more about her and everybody else (last two are not related)…

Courtney Johnson: mom of three daughters (they have a dance party while she does the cooking) from Jacksonville, FL

Kyle Johnson: head coach of his volleyball program he started when he was in high school; he recently got his MBA in Human Resources and Master’s in Business Administration, both of which he earned on merit-based scholarships from Calumet City, IL

There’s no such thing as CARBONATED WATER LILIES, but she’s correct nonetheless.

They repeated the WHEEL WINNERS segment on Tricia from Jan. 18, 2023.

Mystery Round: FOOD & DRINK

Courtney: odd start w/ M and not there unsurprisingly

Kyle: $1K T pair, one A, two S’s on MW near $650 and obviously risks $750…oops

Manisha: $1,700 B pair, $7K R pair, solve…

B _ _ R – B A T T _ R _ _
_ _ S _ / & / _ _ _ _ S

I love the taste of BEER-BATTERED FISH & CHIPS, and she’s scored another $8,700.

Manisha: $13K/Others: $0 each

PP/Express Round: WAYW?

Kyle: instant dud of T

Manisha: $500 R, E for end of turn

Courtney: S for sorry

Kyle: $1,800 N trio, three I’s, $1,200 G pair (close calls on those spins), $500 L, two A’s (he nearly repeated the I), same MDW BANKRUPT he got before (lost $3K)

Manisha: $1,500 D trio, solve…

D A _ _ L I N G
D I A _ _ N D / R I N G

Another $1,750 for this lady, and she’ll be wearing her DAZZLING DIAMOND RING on her trip to The Buccaneer Beach & Golf Resort in ST. CROIX worth $12,150.

Manisha: $26,900 cash & St. Croix/Others: ZERO A HEAD

Triple Toss-Up: THING

1.

_ E _ _ G _ _ R
P _ _ _ E

Here are three things that hold your belongings, and Courtney solves DESIGNER PURSE to finally get in the chips.

2.

_ R _ _ _ _ / C A R D
H O L D _ R

Ugh, Kyle, BIRTHDAY CARD HOLDER has no chance in fitting. -__-

C R _ D I _ / C A R D

Kyle gets FANNY PACK to also get out of $0 land.

Round 4: WAYD?

Kyle: $500 T, four E’s, LaT

Manisha: $500 H, two A’s, R for rats

Courtney: $1,300 N pair, obvious $500 G

SPEED-UP

_ A _ _ _ N G / T H E
_ E _ E N / _ E A _

Courtney makes the leftover consonants worth $1,900 each. She then says four S’s…

$100K Bonus Round

Manisha brought along her mom named Enid; she lands on the N of SPIN. Here’s another one I know already…

_ R _ _ _ _ N _
S _ _ E / _ _ _ T S

PGCA does some good…

_ R A P P _ N G
S _ _ E / G _ _ T S

Unfortunately, she painfully misses w/ WRAPPING SAFE GIFTS and WRAPPING SAME GIFTS, so the producers won’t be WRAPPING SOME GIFTS in the form of $40K and sending them to her. NO WAY this should have been lost, period. -___-

Oh, and Vanna has a new personal best golf score of 93 under 100.

MY RATING: 5 (bad BR loss)
