Tonight’s Bankrupt Trash: $4,100 + WC

Scary moments

–Randy got off to a terrible start in the opening Toss-Ups. In the first one…

_ _ N T R _ L
T _ W E _

He falls for the CENTRAL TOWER trap (and he sounded nervous and uncertain), and in the second one he accidentally buzzes in.

-In R1…

_ _ E _ E / O N / E _ _ T _
_ _ _ E / Y O U / _ E E N ?

Randy neglects to go for the triple H’s and double R’s and solves for a $400 bonus.

-In R2, Randy FLUNKS OUT w/ S on collette, and Carmon painfully BANKRUPTs near $650 to lose $4,100 and WC. And Randy also leaves behind the pair of K’s here too.

$100K Bonus Round: Angie has not spotted any BABY HIPPOS lately, and she’s the second $50K loser this season — this is getting tedious. -___-
