Bonus Round: Fictional characters
What will the dominant Tony do next? He lands on the I in AMERICA'S.
RSTLNE gives him around a quarter of the puzzle:
S _ _ L _ _ _ / _ N _
_ N T _ N _ _
Trying to focus on that first word, he picks DCPO...
S _ _ L O C _ / _ N D
_ N T O N _ O
...but he's wrong on the first name with SAWLOCK, SIMLOCK (he said that twice, the first with INTONIO), SUBLOCK, and SHULOCK. Sadly, time has run out, and his last guess was a single letter off - we were looking for SHYLOCK AND ANTONIO. Darn it. He loses 25 grand, but he still leaves with $4,000 more than that!
Sorry your night ended like that, Tony. You were a great player tonight.
Well, the night was good until the Bonus Round came along.
ReplyDeleteToss-Ups: I thought #1's first word was GAME until the K popped up. Nice job to Tony for getting the other two.
Round 1: Decent round for Tiffany.
Rounds 2 and 3: Nice rounds for Tony! On #3, he should have spun again to get the other 1/2-Car, but at least he got the multiples!
Round 4: Wow, Kristin. you blank out even with a very helpful vowel.
Bonus Round: Poor Tony. I couldn't get the first name either. But SHULOCK was really close... Luckily, it wasn't the $100,000 card that was there, just $25,000.
Hope you feel better, Tony.
Rating: 7/10; the BR really brought it down
