$1K Toss-Up: SONG LYRICS
S _ _ U _ / S_ O _ T
L _ _ / I T / _ L L / O _ T
Desmond recites “SHOUT, SHOUT, LET IT ALL OUT” by Tears for Fears. Thursday’s trio…
Desmond Slowe: karaoke enthusiast who works for two companies that have given him a karaoke machine (he’s not really good at remembering words, though) and sounds like Cher when he sings from Boise, ID
Tasha Gray: basketball wife & mom whose husband played that sport while in the Navy (both of her sons play said sport and her youngest is playing right now for Troy University; she claims to be the university’s #1 fan and is the loudest in the room); she also tells people all the time that she’s going to be a referee (and she says she doesn’t need a whistle) from Birmingham, AL
Courtney Smith: kindergarten teacher and big “FRIENDS” fan who decorates her classroom like that sitcom (she even roped her younger brother into learning the routine that Ross and Monica performed on the New Year’s episode) from Egg Harbor Township, NJ
$2K Toss-Up: LIVING THING

Courtney: $1,400 N pair, one I, $900 G, triple E’s and two A’s, solve…
_ A _ E – E A T I N G
_ _ N T E S T
This is no CAKE-EATING CONTEST, but she wins $1,550 when she could’ve gone for the C’s.
Mystery Round: BEFORE & AFTER
Tasha: same BANKRUPT
Courtney: LaT
Desmond: $1,800 R pair, triple E’s, $1,400 N pair, one O, $500 T, two A’s, one P on MW near LaT and risks $2,950…ZERO

She imagines BEER ON TAP DANCERS for $1,250.
Courtney: $1,550/Desmond: $3K/Tasha: $1,250
We need to pick things up now…
PP/Express Round: WHAT THE FUN!
Courtney: $500 T, $650 S, two I’s, $10,500 N trio (close call), sole dud vowel of E
Desmond: $550 G, one U, not that same BANKRUPT (lost $300)

C R U I S I N G / _ N
A / C A T A _ A R A N
Unfortunately, she gets the preposition wrong w/ IN, so that will cost her $2,650. Courtney then capitalizes for $11,150 and will likely be CRUISING ON A CATAMARAN while at the Zoëtry CURAÇAO Resort & Spa (includes an underwater walking tour) worth $9,470.
Courtney: $22,170 cash & Curaçao/Desmond: $3K/Tasha: $1,250

At night, I do some exercises that involve STRETCHING MY MUSCLES, and Desmond’s correct.

There something rare I’m hoping Courtney will pick…
- PHRASE
- SHOW BIZ
- THING
…but she goes for PHRASE instead — ok, then.
$100K Bonus Round
After we see her mom Cindy, she lands on the potentially valuable ’. If this is what I think it is, it was last used during Teen Best Friends in S33 (and not solved for the minimum)…

HCDI causes me to stick a fork in her…
_ _ / T H E
_ _ _ _
She could muster MY THE, UP THE WIND, and UP THE CREEK. Because she didn’t go BY THE BOOK of picking the best combo of letters, she’s the third $75K loser this season.
