WoF Recap: April 12, 2024 (2024)

Unless some miracle happens tonight, I have serious doubts my special week will be saved.

EPISODE #7970: 🛍️HSN MAKING SHOPPING FUN🛍️

$1K Toss-Up: PHRASE

_ P E N / _ _ V _ _
_ _ Y _ / _ / W _ E K

My site’s technically OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, and Jenn’s the first to score among this end-of-week panel…

Jenn Meany: teacher for 26 years (4th graders have to sign up for her class and she can sometimes live up to her last name) from Lafayette, CA (in the Northern part of the state)

Devyn Gillette (female): scientist and college professor (she teaches introductory biology and immunology classes) who loves minis (when she was a kid, her parents and brother always bought her miniature toys; when she went to graduate school, she studied microbiology and examined the little critters under the microscope; in her office, she owns a miniature storefront w/ dozens of popular teeny-tiny brands) from College Park, MD

Jason Cohen: big hockey fan (he witnessed the Washington Capitals win their first-ever Stanley Cup in Las Vegas) who considers Jim Thornton to be one of his role models even though he hasn’t done any professional announcing from Cherry Hill, NJ (grew up in the Maryland area)

$2K Toss-Up: AROUND THE HOUSE

T V / T _ A Y
_ A B _ E S

Jason solves TV TRAY TABLES for control.

Round 1: EVENT

Jason: $7,500 T trio, three E’s, $1,800 H pair, other four vowels of A, O, two I’s, and two U’s, $700 N, $700 G (just got out of trouble), $1,100 B pair, $1,700 C pair…one Q for HSN prize wedge…$500 R…one D for WC, finally goes for the solve…

C A T C H I N G
T H E / B R I D E ’ _
B O U Q U E T

Boy, I thought this guy was gonna pull a Randy from last night, but thankfully he solves CATCHING THE BRIDE’S BOUQUET for $23,750 cash & spree — MAJOR PR!

Mystery/Crossword Round: IN THE TANK

Jenn: instant dud of T

Devyn: two S’s for MDW, $650 G, two A’s, $600 N (just got out of there), one E, $650 R, buys of I and O (NMV), $700 Y, $550 X, $1,600 H pair, solve…

SHARKS and FISH are the other things in the tank for $3,750.

Devyn: $3,750 MDW/Jason: $25,750 cash & SS WC/Jenn: $1K

PP/Express Round: WAYW?

Devyn: instant dud of S (almost to the big one)

Jason: $700 T, two E’s and two A’s, $500 N, $1K R pair, three O’s, BANKRUPT near $650 (lost $1,450 and WC; he simply passed it over to Pat)

Jenn: other normal BANKRUPT

Devyn: not taking any chances…

_ O N O _ R A _ _ E _
_ A T _ R O _ E

There were three M’s and two B’s left behind, but she might be wearing a MONOGRAMMED BATHROBE during her trip to the Windjammer Landing in ST. LUCIA worth $10,588.

Devyn: $14,338 cash & St. Lucia MDW/Jason: $25,750 cash & SS/Jenn: $1K

Triple Toss-Up: THING

1.

F _ O _ / T R _ _ K

All “trucks”, and Jenn solves FOOD TRUCK (I would have missed w/ FIRE TRUCK early).

2.

_ _ _ _ V _ R Y
_ _ U C _

Jenn also solves DELIVERY TRUCK.

3.

_ O _ / _ _ _ _ K

Jenn scores the bonus sweep w/ TOY TRUCK!

Speed-Up: PLACE

Jenn has spun $1,550 per consonant, so I’m afraid Devyn will have to relinquish that MDW.

Jenn: N
Devyn: L

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ N _ _ _ L
_ _ _ _ _

Devyn nails PRESIDENTIAL SUITE for the Final Spin amount.

FINAL SCORES
Devyn: $15,888 cash & St. Lucia MDW/Jason: $25,750 cash & SS/Jenn: $11K

Now that’s a better triple $10K+ finish than Monday’s game!

GT: $52,638
Jason’s BANKRUPT TRASH (minus WC): $1,450

Jason, I hope you can pull off a miracle after you choose from…

• PLACE
• THING
• WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

…but he’s the other WAYD? picker this week — I don’t feel so good. -__-

Fan Friday Word of the Day: CHEF (enter this word on the website for your chance to win some Curtis Stone cookware on HSN)

$100K Bonus Round

Jason’s cheering section is made up of wife Carly and son Hunter; he lands on the ’. Not much to start…

_ _ _ _ N _
_ _ / R _ _ _

GCHO doesn’t add much besides the two O’s…

_ _ _ _ N _
_ _ / R O O _

Unfortunately for him, it wasn’t MAKING MY ROOM nor FINDING MY ROOM, so we’ve been SKUNKED on my special week for the second year in a row (also the fourth overall this season). It was FIXING MY ROOF and he loses $40K.

Curtis Stone (also a former Celebrity WoF player) appears at the end and has a new spring collection of cookware coming out on HSN.

MY RATING: 7
