WoF Quickcap: 1/16/2023

Don’t forget to enter each night’s bonus puzzle this week for your chance to win an trip to somewhere courtesy of collette.

Hope we get more than one win on this season’s edition of ✈Collette Show You The World✈.

First trio of which could win a trip to BERLIN, GERMANY
–Laurie Wallin, a married lady of seven years to Mark w/ three kids who did a 42K piece jigsaw puzzle that hangs in her garage from Irvine, CA
–Kristen Creech, a communications director at her church and painter (she does acrylic) who also hosts a foreign exchange student from Germany (kinda disappointing she didn’t buzz in on that Toss-Up) married to Brandon for almost 11 years w/ three kids from Guyton, GA
–Eric Mitchell, a communications director for a local school district and bike rider who has an ambition of having Pat’s job (whoa! 😲) from L.A.

---

Final Scores: Eric: $4,200/Laurie: $30,700 cash & HI/Kristen: $1K GOOSEEGG

GT: $35,900
Tonight’s Bankrupt Trash: $11,500 + WC

Scary moments

-In the opening Toss-Up…

B E _ _ _ _
G _ _ _ A N Y

Eric blows it w/ BELGIUM, GERMANY — those are two different countries, man! -__- (Zonk Answer of the Wk. nominee)

-So much was lost to BANKRUPTs in the first half, and Kristen lost her MW $ w/ an UNTIMELY LaT.

---

BR categories: THING/AtH/PHRASE

BR car of the week: Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport SE w/ Technology (makes sense since “atlas” is a collection of maps of the world)

$100K Bonus Round: Laurie locates $40K (this is getting almost as bad as S32/33 w/ all those minimum envelopes…) inside these LARGE PACKING BOXES (pulled a Dave and six Mondays in a row, could be looking for lucky seven next Monday).

Laurie’s Final Total: $70,700 cash & HI

New GT: $75,900

---

My Rating: 6 (D+)

Skipps’ Rating: 6 (D+) (bad first half)

Tough break, Kristen.

Unfortunately, that is our twenty third car shutout of the season.

J! Quickcap: 1/16/2023

Today’s challengers
-Katie Palumbo, a museum interpreter from Amawalk, NY

Pre-FJ! Scores: Katie: $25,600/Yogesh: $23,800/Jimmy: $11,400 (Combined: $39,600)

Yogesh has shown he could survives scares like this last Friday by winning after not leading going into FJ!. Can he do it again today? Or has he already gotten tired?

Final Jeopardy! Correct Answers: 0 (What is the Ford Model T?; Katie was not specific enough)

BUSTED OUT: Jimmy

Winner: Katie ($23,100)

Well, that’s disappointing. Still, it was a great battle between Yogesh and Katie and a great run for him nonetheless and leaves w/ $98,403 (although likely no ToC for him (maybe)). Up next are Vince Bacani from Montreal, Quebec 🍁 and Stephanie Pakula from Cambridge, MA.
