Vanna: Sun,sand, surf, and romance, it's Sandals Resorts Week!
Emelyn is wrong with MAKING A LEMONADE, but Keri gets in immediately afterward with RIDING IN A LIMOUSINE (although Pat almost rules her wrong).
Keri gets E on Free Play, then calls S and T on $700 and $700. After buying A, she calls N and D on $600 and $800 but her next stop is the Bankrupt on the right of the Million Dollar Wedge.
Emelyn gets the Beaches trip with Y.
She solves THE HARDY BOYS AND NANCY DREW for $1,500 and the trip.
Emelyn Bankrupts between $900 and $3,500. The rest is Chris: T on $600, a purchase of O, $500 between $800 and $650 for S, a purchase of A, then finally, $900 for R, a purchase of U, and $900 for P.
He solves PUT UP YOUR DUKES OF HAZZARD for $3,950.
Chris calls S on $800, but after buying E and A, he Bankrupts between $900 and $650.
Keri duds with L on $800, but Emelyn calls X and G on Free Play and the ebags.com gift tag.
She says EXTRAVAGANT SUITES for $1,000, the Gift Tag, and a trip to The Bahamas (Sandals Royal Bahamian, $6,000).
Emelyn is way off with RAMEN CONTAINER.
But Keri gets LEMON SQUEEZER.
Keri calls E on Free Play and S on $800, but after buying A, she can't find an N on $500 between $800 and $650.
Emelyn calls L on $800, buys I, and then calls C and F on $500 between $800 nd $650 and $550. She buys U to clear the vowels, then finds three T's on $5,000.
She solves CATERPILLARS & BUTTERFLIES for $17,950.
For $7,500, he solves SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL.
Emelyn's got her boyfriend, Tuan, in the audience.
LOOK BEHIND, BAD BEHIND, FLY BEHIND, UP BEHIND, ALL BEHIND, and FALL BEHIND are her guesses. She doesn't get WAY BEHIND for $32,000. End total: $33,450.
Quite astonishing that two games in a row were won with a total of $33,450.
In fact, today's show was virtually a carbon of yesterday's with both trips being won by the champion, the 5th round starting as a speed-up, 2nd place winning around $12,000, 3rd place winning around $5,000, and the champion missing out on a "measly" $32,000 in the bonus round.
At least she surpassed the prize money she didn't win a bit.

Pretty much sums up this episode, although I wish Emelyn said the T's in Round 3 (trying to pull off an impressive solve there, eh?)...at least she called that in Round 4!
I know I'm bumping an old thread here, but I need to drop an entire line of expletives in finding out that my SPIN ID was chosen. And I didn't catch this episode. And I didn't read this recap. I read this recap almost every day. Every &*%$*%)^ day. But the one &*(%(*%^) day I didn't, my *&%$&#)_! ID gets picked? I know, I know... I got to be on the show and all, but who can't use an extra 5 #%^&$*^$ THOUSAND DOLLARS?!?!?!
Now back to our regularly scheduled recaps.
