CHOOSE A CAREER: Surgeon or Superhero? Dean wants to be a superhero. The team goes four for four for 1000. Emily gets the choice between surgeon and NASCAR driver. Emily wants to be a doctor when she grows up. She's going to be a doctor right now. They only last three questions, running out of gas as they were going to be asked a fourth! Dean leads, 1000-600.

CHOOSE AN ADVENTURE: Emily's choice: Write a hit song or Adopt a dolphin. Let's make some music! They tie it on a 400-pointer about Mariah Carey. Can they get some gas off of David Bowie? YES! They end up with 2400, running out of gas as they were going to get another question. Again. Dean can play with dolphins or move into the White House. Dean for President! They only get ONE question for 1400 total, meaning that Team Emily is going to...

THE GAME OF LIFE SPINNER (for a limo ride home from school for a week): They go with ODD... and they JUST hit the 3 to win!

STUNT TIME. the road to Millionaire's Manor is going through... a lemonade stand. Player 1 takes a lemon off of the tree. Player 2 has to catch the lemons and juice them. Player 3 have to serve the lemonade to their stand.  Each glass of cool refreshing goodness is worth a tasty 250. Team Dean has seven for 1750 for a total of 3150. Emily needs three to tie, four to win. They get seven as well to win with 4150!

BONUS ROUND:
QUESTION 1: Would Emily rather be a heart surgeon or a plastic surgeon? Heart sounds about right... IT ISN'T.
QUESTION 2: Would Scott rather write a hit song for Lady Gaga or Lady Antebellum? Lady Gaga... RAH RAH RA-A-AH!
QUESTION 3: Would Troy rather start a restaurant or a pet store? Restaurant... is good!

Time for the FINAL SPIN! They bet on ODD again, and they add on 2 and 6. The spin is in... and 5 IS A WINNER! The Game of Life is good to these guys!

SCRABBLE KNOCKOUT (for a Southern California CityPass and 2 tiles): Tristan & Michele get passed the game and the first category, Check the Cushions (things found in a couch). They knockout CRUMBS, REMOTE, GLASSES, COINS, and PHONE in 50 seconds. Kamil & Kimberly are left with Stop Clownin' Around (things at the circus). They knockout POPCORN, TRAINER, and JUGGLER, but they run out of time! Tristan & Michele get the tiles and the prize!

... and thank you, Sande Stewart.

SCRABBLE SCREAM (for a Vocopro karaoke and 2 tiles): Tristan & Michele get the honor, and they pass. Kamil & Kimberly get BAMBOO, SIXTEEN, COOKIE, but can't go any further in the time alloted. Tristan & Michele need 4 to win. They get RUNWAY, OATMEAL, FUNGUS... and on the buzzer, POPULAR!

SCRABBLE FLASH (for an Insignia HDTV and 2 tiles): Michele & Tristan take the game first this time!...

R T E D A

Tristan & Michele get DART, ART, TAR (C-Note: HEELS!), and EAT for 13. Kamil & Kimberly... score RED, READ, DEAR, and ... time! Tristen & Michele sweep the game and the tiles! They were just shuffling the blocks around like they had all the time in the world this round.

This week's Bingoes.. Just highlight.... RATED and TREAD.

SCRABBLE LIGHTNING: Every tile on the board belongs to Tristan & Michele.

BONUS LETTERS:
Tristan & Michele: HVDPKY = 22 points

Not a bad start, but certainly manageable for Kamil & Kimberly. It's 82-40 in favor of the red team...

- DOUBLE for 18 and possible game: where everybody bids for attention (AOUTINC). Michele can win here... "Counting?" Kimberly... out of time. it was AUCTION
- For 7: It goes for months (RYAE). Tristan steals YEAR.
- DOUBLE for 18 and possible game: it gets stuck in a corner (SAMTP): Michele? "Stamp!" You're going to the Greek Isles!
