WoF Quickcap: 3/27/2024

These midweek panelists from left to right could conquer the RUGGED TERRAIN…

Tori Lime: outdoorsy person who rows at the gym (but she plans on going rowing out on the lake) and has been learning the Welsh language for 6 years from Goshen, AR

Emma Wan: recently engaged lady to Zach (they’re looking to elope later this year and both enjoy the outdoors; they also have a dog named Po) who used to sign up for half-marathons as an excuse to go to national parks and has eaten 10 lbs. of crawfish in one sitting from Minneapolis, MN

Ben Stilson: bald-headed steel industry worker (he operates either forklift or crane) and a 23-year Army National Guard veteran who has ridden bulls for a couple of years (he has scars on his jawline to prove it) and is married to Megan with four kids from Springville, UT


FINAL SCORES
Tori
: $2K | Emma: $19,500 WC | Ben: $11,898 cash & AK

GRAND TOTAL: $33,398
BANKRUPT TRASH (Emma in Mystery Round, excluding MW gamble): $1,300

Scary moments

-In the opening Toss-Up…

R _ _ G _ _
T _ R R _ _ N

Emma is one letter short with ROUGH TERRAIN.

-We got a house minimum solve by Tori in the Mystery/Crossword Round.

-In the PP/Express Round…

_ A _ ’ T / S E E
T H E / _ _ R E S T
_ _ R / T H E / T R E E S

Emma is DQed for pausing too long in between the second and third lines of the puzzle, resulting in a $0 Prize Puzzle win.

-In the Speed-Up…

S _ _ _ _ L
S _ P _ R _ N T _ N _ _ N T

Tori blows it with SERIAL SUPERINDENDENT– huh?! -__-


Same generic list from Monday: PHRASE/PERSONTHING

$100K Bonus RoundWE HAD A LAUGH over Emma winning…

$100K- THAT’S THE SECOND WEDESDAY IN A ROW WHERE THAT AMOUNT IS WON (Jim: “Emma, with every park comes recreation…”) AND FOURTH WIN OF THE SEASON!!!!!

Emma’s Final Total: $119,500

NEW GRAND TOTAL: $133,198


My Rating: 8 (B-) (rough maingame)

Ismael’s Rating: 6 (D+) (That penalty solve in the prize puzzle round brought it down for me)

JACKPOT!!

Unfortunately, that is our twenty fourth car shutout of the season. To make matters worse, tonight’s promo has probably been SPOILED by the $100K win.

There would be a bull if the maingame went better.
