BONUS ROUND

The bonus round for feud IX is called "drawing a blank". I thought I would make the bonus round easy this time. Word searches are easy right?

Below is the word search that contains the answers to the questions. The catch is, all of the vowels have been removed from the word search. It's your job to find the answers and also properly fill in the blanks for the questions. The missing words from questions are not in the puzzle, only the answers. The answers also appear as phrases, meaning for some there is more than one word for an answer. For Example, "beachhouseonthemoon" would appear all one line. All of the answers are forward and down, there are none that are backwards or diagonal. There are a total of 27 answers contained in the puzzle that belong to five different questions.


In order to get points for finding an answer, you have to also group it with its corresponding question. You get 2 points for each question you get correct, and 1 point for each answer that you find and group with the correct question. A perfect score would be worth 37 points. The deadline for the bonus round is 11:00 pm ET on Thursday. Good Luck

When sending your response in, please group your answers below the question to which you think it belongs. And, you can always take a guess at filling in these blanks even if you don't have any answers below it.

Name something on a(n) _____ that might be _____.



Name something you’d see a lot more of in _____ than any other _____.



Name something a(n) _____ might do at the _____ while waiting for a(n) _____.



Name something people associate with _____.



Name something that might happen when you get _____.




Here are some tools to help you out with this.

Gotta make it challenging, right?

But to clarify:

The 27 items to search for are the answers to the 5 questions, and the 9 blanks to fill in on the questions are NOT in the word search???

how long do we have to figure this out?

Correct. Sorry if I was vague on that. The missing blanks are not in the puzzle, only the words or phrases that are answers to the questions.

thanks!!


i guess i should read the directions!

12 answers and 3 questions solved so far...

Needing another clarification, please.


Example:

Name two of Jimmy Buffett's __________.

WE fill in the word "songs" (not found in the puzzle)

Found in the puzzle:

Margaritaville
Come Monday

Yes??

Yah.........right!

I am hearing the sound of the frog getting squashed in the game frogged................game over.

Dawson, you're infringing on Pat Sajak's territory here.... Vanna's gonna be upset with you.

I'd like to buy a vowel, please....

OK, along that same question line. Is "songs" the correct fill-in word for all three answers?

Or is "songs" correct for one. But then I could also say "boats" and find a boat name?

Basically, do the fill-in words remain the same for each of the three answers?

One more question. When the answer contains more that one word will the answer be blended all together....like beachhouseonthe moon. Or can the answer be multiple words that are discoved in the puzzle that can be put toghether for an answer?

I don't think I'm smart enough to try this out. Beer, bad for the brain, good for the soul

People are over-thinking it. Just start circling words, and the questions will come to you, just like in Jeopardy... Oops there's another game show!

I thought it was too hard to do, then it just started happening.

yeppers....

i'm confused....

it may be the drugs i'm on....

i'll have to look at this again later

Da!!N, this is waaaaaaaaaay beyond me!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

...look on the bright side...at least I wasnt among the top scorers in this game....if I had been, I'd be suicidal just about now!!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU CLEVER ENOUGH TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT!!!!!!!!!!
