EPISODE #8262: 
DRAFTKINGS CASINO MULTIPLIER TOURNAMENT
The short intro was used.
$1K Toss-Up: THING
_ _ G E / _ A _ H
P R I Z E
Arlicia or one of this Tuesday trio from left to right could be winning a HUGE CASH PRIZE by the end of this night…
Arlicia Turner: Univ. of Georgia sports fan (she also loves the Atlanta Braves, Falcons, and Hawks) who used to do classical dancing for 13 years (she had no rhythm in hip-hop and so she had to get into those classes as she got a little older) from Suwannee, GA
Liz St. Claire: former mud wrestler (this put her through beauty school and she’s been doing hair ever since) who used to dance on “American Bandstand” (she was one of those people who invented the “Y.M.C.A.”) from Cathedral City, CA
Paul Phillips: man who loves to cook w/ his wife even though they sometimes get lazy (he did an Internet search on the best recipe that involves ketchup, sketchy avocado, some tomatoes, and some rice, but when that doesn’t work, the dogs are pleased) and has a real affection for downtown Las Vegas (he enjoys the whole gangster vibe of everything, and he and his wife dub it “Dirty Vegas”) from Holiday, FL
$2K Toss-Up: WAYD?
E _ R N I N G
P _ I N T S
Arlicia’s not EARNING POINTS, but rather money, and has tripled up.
Crossword Round: CHOCOLATE ______
Arlicia: instant dud of C (she was thinking CAKE like I did)
Liz: also misses w/ T
Paul: three L’s on Multiplier near $800 (4X), BANKRUPT near $2,500 (busted out of $12K just as quick)
Arlicia: $3,600 S quartet, two A’s and E, $500 B, N for negative
Liz: $700 K (not quite to other Multiplier), $600 M, unnecessary buy of two I’s (NMV), LaT
Paul: final letter of $600 R
| M | B | A | L | L | S | ||||
| I | A | ||||||||
| L | R | ||||||||
| K | I | S | S | E | S |
He reads them all for a $400 bonus.
Fanday Funday Word of the Day: COIN (enter for a chance at $10K courtesy of DraftKings Casino)
Mystery Round: RISKY BUSINESS
The other Multiplier wedge is still in play for this round unlike last night.
Liz: $700 N (just got out of trouble), $650 R, one E, $500 T, one A, two S’s on MW near $650 and risks $1,350…BUSTED
Paul: MDW’s right side
Arlicia: $550 G, three I’s, $900 F, one V on other Multiplier (3X), two O’s, $2K Y pair, solve…
S A Y I N G / I / _ O V E
Y O _ / F I R S T
She solves SAYING “I LOVE YOU” FIRST for $5,950 (so it appears a player’s round total WON’T multiply w/ that wedge even after this solve — ok, then).
Arlicia: $8,950/Liz: ZERO/Paul: $1K
PP/Express Round: PLACES
Paul: instant dud of L
Arlicia: two S’s on EXPRESS and GOES ABOARD
Next Picks: T…A…E…R…4 N’s…U…G…2 I’s (NMV)…CRASH WITH M ($8K wiped out; she thought the second word started w/ MINE)
Liz: just solves…
S T U N N I N G
_ I N E _ A R _ S
Liz will see some STUNNING VINEYARDS at Algodon Wine Estates in ARGENTINA worth $8,415.
Arlicia: $8,950/Liz: $8,415 Argentina trip/Paul: $1K
This has been an UNPLEASANT game thus far… -___-

Almost another PP-mattering scenario there.
GT: $33,365
NEW SEASON-WORST BANKRUPT TRASH (minus MW $): $21,350
Liz’s generic category list…
- THING
- PHRASE
- PLACES
She goes for PHRASE (though Ryan thought she was gonna choose PLACES the way she sounded it).
$100K Bonus Round
After we see Liz’s friends JoJo and Jeffrey (both have done dancing; JoJo the lady has danced on “Bandstand” longer than anybody else in the show’s history), she lands on the P. Here’s a familiar puzzle used way back in early S21…
_ _ _ _ _ / _ S
_ / _ _ N _
LCPMA won’t do much…
_ _ _ C _ / A S
A / _ _ N _
She doesn’t prove to be QUICK AS A WINK (she had BLACK for the first early and WIND for the last late) for $55K.
