TPiR Retro Quickcap: 9/21/2016

Since Lauren is perspiring, here’s what happened on this mid-premiere-week episode that had just celebrated its sixth birthday yesterday…

First Four: Maryleticia Mata (previously appeared on 9/22/2006), Michael Houston, Ida Mhunduru (expecting a child named Sam) and Steven Tuma
Push Over: Ida ($1K + $500 PB) pushed her way through to the South African Safari (GT: $13,213)

Next up: Michelle Schrader
TRIPLE PLAY: Maryleticia ($2,050) had gotten played out of Part 3 by a FORCED LOSS SETUP

Let’s move it along with: Denise Repsher
Cliff Hangers: Denise ($590) survived to win the prizes (GT: $6,751)

SCSD #1 Winner: Maryleticia (Ida never had a chance there)

Misc.: Gwendolyn had just dyed her hair blonde.

---

Going up next: Rosalina Perez
Bonkers: Steven ($2,695) appropriately was going bonkers on his way to The Hamptons (GT: $9,776)

Come on down: Jerome Gooden
Pass the Buck: Jerome ($898) was passed the keys to the Toyota Yaris after this W (GT: $18,663)

Last call while Maryleticia sweats: Destiny Holt
One Right Price: Destiny (2nd half green podium sweep; $1,305) located the correct price of the 4K TV for the perfect second half and the showrunners had gotten Maryleticia (GT: $8,574)

Off to the FFBC: Michael

SCSD #2 Winner: Destiny (Banked $1K – $9,574) (Again, no chance for Jerome)

---

Showcase Winner: Maryleticia ($49,373) (That brought her all-time total from the show to $58,995)

---

ant0824’s Rating: 8

Skipps’ Rating: 8 (B) (the odds were against Maryleticia in Triple Play, but glad she had the last laugh and redeemed)

My Rating: 5 (D-)

While the Triple Play loss hurt, I have to give some leeway due to the circumstances of it.

That was VERY NASTY of the producers to pull that on you, Maryleticia. This should go to them and not you.

Tough times for Michael.

WoF Quickcap: 9/22/2022

Red gets interviewed first yet again
–Lauren Broudy, a public service worker for 10+ years who has one daughter Nora and three nieces from Portland, OR

Final Scores: Lauren: $16,620 cash & prizes/Antonio: $9,250/Stephanie: $4K

GT: $29,870
Tonight’s Bankrupt Trash: $3,200 + WC + MDW

Scary moments (get the Advil and Tums ready for this…)

-$2K FUN & GAMES toss-up…

_ E _ F – _ U _ D _ D
T O U R

Antonio TOTALLY BLOWS IT w/ DEF LEPPARD TOUR — sir, this is NOT a SHOW BIZ and this band’s name is not hyphenated! UGH. -__-

-Oh boy oh boy you’re gonna wanna brace yourselves as the following happens in R2 — It started w/ a dud of H on the Collette wedge which started a NULL CYCLE. Two more duds after that, we had this…

S _ E _ T _
P _ L _
T R E E S

Lauren makes an odd and U for unsurprisingly bad vowel purchase (Did she really think it was SUELTY PLUM TREES?! -__-). Right after we saw $3,200 and WC go in the trash from the MDW’s left side Stephanie shockingly refuses to risk the Mystery Wedge even after having nothing to risk…

S _ E A T _
P A L M
T R E E S

…but as it turns out, after buying the pair of A’s, that baffling decision to not risk the MW was a blessing in disguise because she K for KILLS ME W/ THAT DUD ON $3,500 — Where did you even get that, girl?! 😡 We finally escape from this mess w/ a house minimum solve. I thought that would never end. -___-

-What’s left of the S-U puzzle…

T H E / P E R _ E _ T
P _ S _ T _ _ N

Lauren STILL doesn’t solve for $6K. If all of the above isn’t bad news for our PBRW hopes here, I don’t know what is.

---

Another generic list: PLACE/THING/PHRASE

$100K Bonus Round: Lauren picks a bad time to go w/ PCHO and only gets the first word and left behind in the JUNGLE HIDEAWAY along w/ our PBRW hopes is the Ford Mustang GT, and that will place her as the lowest-scoring winner this season.
