    Yes. You have to wonder about some of the people that go on these shows. . A girl was going fine until she spun up a "Miss a turn". This is what she left for the next contestant: The next contestant asked for an S. No S. The next contestant asked for an L. No L. It reverted to the first contestant who solved it - COMB. I got this one with no extra letters, in less than 5 seconds.

    I didn't think this one would take so long.
  4. I know what y'all think ablout Facebook, but nthis popped up today:- BREAKING: Journalist Michael Wolff exposes the shocking full story behind what ended Donald Trump's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein — and it involves alleged Russian money laundering, a $40 million house, and allegations that Trump "was fully acquainted" with Epstein's sex crimes. Wolff also revealed what Epstein believed about Trump "to his dying day..." "Now, Epstein’s explanation for why this friendship ended is as follows. In 2004, Epstein believed himself to be the high bidder on a piece of real estate in Palm Beach. A house. $36 million was his bid," Wolff said to MeidasTouch in a new interview. "He took his friend Trump around to see the house, to advise him on how to move the swimming pool," Wolff continued. "Trump thereupon went around Epstein’s back and bid $40 million for the house and got the property. "Epstein, who was well acquainted, in fact deeply involved with Trump’s scattered finances, understood that he didn’t have $40 million to pay for this house," said Wolff. "Now, if that was the case, it was someone else’s $40 million. At the time, Epstein believed this to be the $40 million of a Russian oligarch by the name of Rybolovlev. "Less than two years later, this same house that Trump had bought for $40 million was sold for $95 million and it was in fact sold to Mr. Rybolovlev," he went on. "This is all a red flag of money laundering. And what Epstein did, and he was furious about losing this house... I mean, there’s something about these guys, these men, that nothing rouses them so much as a real estate betrayal." "Epstein, after the sale of this house, after Trump went around his back, got this house, Epstein began to threaten him," explained Wolff. "He began to threaten him with lawsuits. He began to threaten him with going to the press and saying that Trump was a frontman for a money laundering deal." "Trump panics at this point and Epstein believed, and he believed to his dying day, that it was Trump who went to the police — Trump who was fully acquainted with what was going on Epstein's house, fully acquainted for many years — Trump went to the police and, as Epstein said, dropped the dime on him," said Wolff. "That is to say, informed the police of what was going on and an investigation began and all of Epstein’s legal problems for the next 15 years began to unfold." "This story about this piece of real estate and their falling out was first published in June 2019," said Wolff. "It’s published actually in my book Siege, the second book I had written about the Trump White House. Epstein had recounted this story to me. I put it in this book. Epstein at that moment was in Paris. He read the book. He called me with some alarm, and he said he was afraid that he might have said too much." "Three weeks later, he returned to the United States from Paris and was promptly arrested on the tarmac of Teterboro Airport in New Jersey when his plane landed," concluded Wolff. For his part, Trump claimed this week that he ended his relationship with Epstein because the billionaire pedophile "stole" employees from him including a young girl named Virginia Giuffre. It's beyond clear at this point that we are not getting the full story. The Epstein files must be released immediately.

    Jerry, here is the explanation I posted on July 13:- Throughout the show, they play what they call toss-up rounds for a prize of $2000. In these rounds, the wheel is not spun, the three contestants each hold a buzzer. Letters are randomly displayed across the puzzle one at a time. When a contestant thinks they have identified the solution they press their buzzer which halts the game. If they are correct, they get the $2000 added to their total, if not the game resumes. So in a toss-up round, a letter that appears more than once in a solution may only be shown once, and will display as the game proceeds. I also explained elsewhere that "Before and After" subjects .are two expressions which share a common word. Garlic Press and Press Conference.

    I don't decide when a contestant guesses the answer. If they have control of the game, sometimes they play on building their total. However, they run the risk of spinning up a BANKRUPT and losing everything they have accumulated in that game.
