Eileen Curry (Steel Gray): a married mother of two, mother-in-law of one, and grandmother of two who enjoyed garedning & painting from Newport, NJ

$2K Tossup: THINGS

Leah tripled up w/ HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE.
Round 1: PHRASE
All Leah here: a $650 S, 2 I’s, an obvious $600 T, 2 A’s, a FP O, 2 $700 R’s, 4 E’s & U to clean out the vowels, and 2 $650 M’s.
I T ‘ S / _ I _ E
A / _ R E A M
_ O M E / T R U E
IT’S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE for Leah as she scored a $3,550 PR and now had $6,550 to her name.
Mystery Round: CHARACTERS
Eileen BANKRUPTed right on the spot ($650) while Linda whiffed w/ T for terrible. Leah lit up $2K worth of N’s, but after buying an A pair, she BANKRUPTed near $3,500 to flush down the $1,750 remainder. Eileen picked up the MDW w/ an obvious D, but that got taken away by Leah’s BANKRUPT. Linda took control w/ a $550 P, 2 $500 R’s, a $3,500 S, and 2 W’s on the MW near $650 before she took a $5,050 gamble…$$$ (Pat: “Well, what do you expect from a woman who spent the last 15 years working at a casino?”). She then said the last consonant of 2 $500 M’s…
S _ P _ R M A N / A N D
W _ N D _ R / W _ M A N
…but her teammates would have to shout “No!” as she blew the $16,050 solve w/ SPIDERMAN AND WONDER WOMAN (we also saw Vanna putting her hands to her face). Therefore, Leah took the house minimum w/ SUPERMAN AND WONDER WOMAN (Pat: “I don’t know who feels worse here.” / Linda: “Oh, I do.”).
SOLE DUD: T (Linda)
BANKRUPTS: 3 (Eileen twice, Leah once)
CRITICAL DQ: Linda’s blown solve
Leah: $7,550/Others: $0 apiece
BTW, Linda realized her fatal mistake before Pat even said a word after the missolve.
Express Round: WAYD?
Linda got going w/ 2 $600 R’s, but LaT stopped her cold and it’s all Leah from here: a $500 N, 2 I’s, a $500 G, a $600 S, E, 2 $500 T’s, the rest of the vowels (2 A’s, 3 O’s, U), and 2 $500 W’s.

As we’re WATCHING OUR FAVORITE SHOW, Leah’s won another $2,350.
SOLE LaT: Linda
Leah: $9,900/Others: BAD SHAPE

…but she botched the first word w/ BOYS, BABY, BOX and BODY. Therefore, she wouldn’t go to a BOOK CLUB w/ an extra $34K and her teammates would receive about $2,783.33 each.
Also, for consistency, these episodes won’t be added to the weekly stats since they were never aired.
