EPISODE #7872: 🌄GREAT OUTDOORS🌄

$1K Toss-Up: WAYW?

_ I K I N G
B O O T S

Almost a Triple Stumper, but Anthony dons a pair of HIKING BOOTS. Tuesday’s trio…

Anthony Jones: locomotive engineer and father of four kids (three sons and a girl) from Homewood, IL

Leigh Wang: a lady who’s been to Komodo Island and was once bitten by a monkey in Bali from Chicago

Lindsey Ziegenfuss (CC left out the SS at the end of her name): married retired police detective after 11 yrs. who homeschools her two sons Tyler and Andrew (the family also has a 13-month-old little boy) from Oxford, PA

$2K Toss-Up: IN THE KITCHEN

_ E _ S _ R I N G
_ _ P

Anthony triples up w/ MEASURING CUP.

FEATURED OUTDOORS TRIP: Voyagaire Lodge & HOUSEBOAT ride in Minnesota

Round 1: SAME LETTER

Anthony: LaT right away

Leigh: R for rats

Lindsey: SL Bonus of four S’s for $4,600, buys of two E’s, two A’s, and U (that U purchase was not necessary), $600 G, other two vowels of I and O, T for turnover ($3,950 on the line)

Anthony: $500 M, $500 D, one K for WC (he tried to pick it up before calling this letter)…

S _ I _ _
S M O K E D
S A U S A G E

…but he FLUNKS OUT on the very next pick of W — where do you think that would go, sir?! -__-

Leigh: $700 P, $600 C (she hesitated before picking that), solve…

S P I C _
S M O K E D
S A U S A G E

She has a bite of this SPICY SMOKED SAUSAGE for $1,300.

Mystery Round: PHRASE

Leigh: $2,400 T quartet, one H on MW near LaT and FLIPS…$$$, three O’s and three E’s, $1,800 N pair, $650 D, $1,500 R trio…

D O N ‘ T / _ O R _ E T
T O / _ R _ N _ / T H E
_ _ _ E R _

…but she painfully LaTs out to leave $15,850 on the table — oh brother. That allows Lindsey to solve “DON’T FORGET TO BRING THE CAMERA” for an unnecessary house minimum when there were two G’s to be uncovered.

Lindsey: $1K/Anthony: $3K WC/Leigh: $1,300

I don’t like where this is going… -__-

PP/Express Round: WAYD?

Lindsey: two G’s for $1,800 (just missed EXPRESS), buys of five I’s and A, $2,400 N quartet, one E and three O’s (NMV), $1,700 T pair, G repeat ($4,900 at risk)

Anthony: the R fails him

Leigh: $2K S quartet, $700 C (close call), $1,300 W pair (another close call), solve…

T O S S I N G
C O I N S / I N T O / A
W I S _ I N G / W E _ _

She’s $4K richer, and she won’t be TOSSING COINS INTO A WISHING WELL in Rome, because she’s actually going on a Trafalgar tour of HAWAII worth $10K (I’m not taking that particular tour on my next visit to the Aloha State coming soon).

Lindsey: $1K/Anthony: $3K WC/Leigh: $15,300 cash & HI

Ugh, Lindsey, it’s clearly not SOLID CHOCOLATE. -__-

_ _ L T _ D

$100K Bonus Round

Lindsey’s hubby is named Eric; she lands on what’s under the S of SPIN. I know this already…

_ _ _ / _ S
_ / _ _ S _ T

HDSCO triggers a WIPEOUT, and she’s well off course w/ WHO IS A, AND IS A, and AND AS A. I don’t know if she’s gonna PAY US A VISIT after losing $40K.

MY RATING: 5 (good thing for that $6K Final Spin)
