Mon 9-27-21: $17,200
On Jeopardy: $33,000

Peter got a decent bunch of letters from his picks: two 0’s, two C’s and one P. We can’t figure out what threw him off after they were added to the bonus puzzle.
M _ Y B _ I _ W _ S S _ R _ S S
Whatever it was, it cost him a MINI Cooper.

Tue 9-28-21: $20,175
On Jeopardy: $70,400

Melissa scored three 0’s and two F’s from her letters. This gave her a definite clue to the activity taking place
B _ T _ R _ V I _ E _ N _ _ A T _
to the objective of that activity. Melissa missed out on the second MINI Cooper to show up on the bonus card.

On Jeopardy: $50,600

Daniel put two M’s, one D and one A in his bonus puzzle. Somehow, he failed to realize that there were 4 words in the puzzle although he was
O _ _ _ E R I G _ _ _ R A C _
For the third day in a row, a lost MINI Cooper showed up on the bonus card. Perhaps someone will win one tomorrow.

On Jeopardy: $54,400

With a possible million on the line, Chris only got one D out of his letters. That only helped with the first word, although one could at least surmise that the
S E C _ N _ W _ R _ W _ S _ C _ L _ R
Even so, the last word would still be a challenge. Chris “only” lost out on $39,000. (Hey! It could’ve been a million.)

On Jeopardy: $55,400

Michael had a Wild Card, but only got one G out of the 5 letters he chose. Judging by those 5, he thought the solution
W A _ _ O M _ T H _ _ G _ _ T I R _ L Y D I _ _ _ R _ N T
An item lying around outside, perhaps. Oh well, this wasn’t the best week on WoF and Pat wasn’t too happy to finish it off by revealing a lost bonus prize of $50,000.
