WoF Quickcap: 1/25/2023

Someone in this midweek panel could be making THE DEAL OF THE CENTURY before this is over
–April Bellotti, a flow artist (she started doing hula hooping eight years ago after seeing someone do it online) and crystal collector married to Carl for 13 years w/ two kids from Sherman Oaks
–Nick Tomaselli, a drum player for about 20 years married to Liz for four years w/ two daughters from Chalfont, PA

Final Scores: Nick: $12,950 cash & St. Croix/Alisha: $15,100 WC/April: $11K

GT: $39,050
Nick’s Bankrupt Trash: $1,200

Scary moments

-There were quite a few baffling gameplay decisions being made such as unnecessary vowel purchases and multiples left behind.

---

Generic categories: PLACE/THING/PHRASE

FACEPALM. -___-

$100K Bonus Round: It is a BAFFLING MYSTERY (how ironic) why Alisha would make the choice of picking that category, and it (along w/ the useless WC) cost her the Ford Escape (ant0824’s tip: DO NOT waste the obvious I or G in a puzzle containing -ING and DO NOT ******* pick THING).
