Felt longer than 38 didn’t it. Either way, John’s total is up to $450.

GAME #2-WORD #1

Eddie is giving to John.

3. HOT DOG-HAMBURGER HOT DOG-WIENER HOT DOG-SAUERKRAUT (“A Nice Big Long Word”) PASSED (FRANKFURTER)

Side note: Isn’t “Hot Dog” two words? At the clock wound down, Bea was giving clues more akin to Pyramid. Where were the judges? Poor Bea, watching her struggle was a gas.

On to 4. ARMY-NAVY, DRIVE-no guess, VEHICLE-JEEP $150

5. JAIL! The perfect clue again.

Yet Brenda gets the fifty dollars for that one? Have they thrown out the rule book? Fine, no penalty for being nice. Brenda gets $200 for the Lightning Round for a total of $300.
