Tony survived a very tight match, but how will he do in the Bonus Round?
He lands on the triple-star icon.
This is all he gets to start:

He picks the perfect combo of CDMA:
C L A M / D _ _
He eats up some CLAM DIP worth...a measly $25,000. But he goes home with $36,950, all cash!
He picks the $70,000 Sports Utility Vehicle as his prize!

ReplyDeleteboy, it was quite the battle between Tony and Tiffany!
ReplyDeleteToss-Ups (including the Tiebreaker): Good job to Tony for getting three out of four!
Round 1: Poor Tony. And Tiffany should've gone on for those remaining consonants.
Rounds 2 and 3: Nice rounds for Tony and Tiffany!
Round 4: Good to see Kristin get on the board...and for Tony to break the tie!
Bonus Round: WOW. Tony plays this very well, and he wins so little. But still, not a bad night for him!
