No trip to PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA tonight, but we have these people playing…
Karmini Narayanan: frequent radio contest entrant living with her husband Sean of 18 years and 12-year-old son named Rohit (they also air this version of the show in Malaysia; it’s called Roda Impian) from Phoenix, AZ
Benny Varughese (CC misspelled his last name as “Varaghese”): electrical engineer for a utility company in New York married to Sheba with a two-year-old son Andrew and expecting another boy on the way and a Yankee and New York Jet fan from Fort Myers, FL
Lindsey Choisnet: nonprofessional ax thrower currently working on her trick shots who’s also a crime buff (it’s just what she listens to when she’s getting ready for work in the morning and on her drives to and from work) from Fayetteville, GA
FINAL SCORES
Benny: DESERVING $1K GOOSEEGG | Lindsey: $15,344 cash & Maui | Karmini: $8,200
GRAND TOTAL: a pathetic $24,544
SEASON-WORST BANKRUPT TRASH (excluding MW gamble): a whopping $30,200 cash & ALASKA CRUISE
Scary moments
-In Round 1…
T R E _ D S E T T E R S
S E T T _ _ _ / T R E _ D S
Benny (who had $19,400 cash & AK cruise sitting in front of him) spun again, to our dismay…and threw all of that to the BANKRUPT near TD– tsk tsk tsk.
-In the PP/Express Round…
I / W I L L / B E
_ N A _ A I L A B L E
Benny BOMBED OUT thinking D is the last consonant (he was on EXPRESS mode and threw another $2,750 to BANKRUPT) – UNADAILABLE?! -__-
-The first of the Triple Toss-Ups…
R _ _ A T E D
P _ A _ _ _ S
Benny took too long, but he blew it anyway with ROASTED PANINIS.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of viewers were enraged by Benny’s gameplay.
I don’t know if this episode could be saved with: PHRASE/THING/PEOPLE
Here we go again…
$100K Bonus Round: This was ALMOST ENOUGH to get the win. Unfortunately for Lindsey, she blows an easy BR (she only had the bottom word) and loses $40K. I know it’s hard up there, but that should NOT have been lost.
My Rating: 2 (F-)
Ant0824’s Rating: 1
Adam’s Rating: 2/10 (had the $100K popped up, this would be an easy 1…at least there were no house minimum solves)
Benny, what happened to you?
