From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Christmas Day (and Week)!
Hot drinks for our contestants to warm up...
Corey McMann (female): Staffing coordinator at major department store, Forest Hills, NY
Claudia Daniels: Financial analyst at major airline, also an MBA graduate, Norcross, GA
Bruce Graham: Married 27 years, has been a teacher and administrator for 32 years, Toronto, ON (originally from South Porcupine, near Timmins)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000; add some red to compliment it. Here's our first puzzle:
Claudia solves BALLET INSTRUCTOR, but can she get $3,000 more from this Puzzler?
Yes! She solves LEOTARD.
Beside the stocking stuffers, you might grab a prize: A trip to the Bahamas ans stay at Sandals Resort (labeled TRIP) worth $5,000.
And your Christmas cards with cash. How about some from the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces? Now how about this puzzle?
Perfection! Claudia solves SILVER WHITE WINTERS THAT MELT INTO SPRINGS. But can she give us the next line?
Not a guess. The line was these are a few of my favorite things. But her current total is also one of those things.
Claudia, remember you may have to share the Christmas cheer, and you could have this prize: an Orlando trip and Florida Mall shopping spree (labeled BOX) at a combined $6,400.
Double perfection and JACKPOT! Bruce solves THE GHOST OF JACOB MARLEY for the $9,850 pot!
No gift wrap will match the $5,000 space! Corey finally gets a real chance!
Claudia solves SNEAK PEEK to keep the prize. And everyone sneakily avoids the Speed-Up!
Corey never got to light up her scoreboard! What kind of present is that for her?! If only she got more than just the parting gifts...
BONUS ROUND:
Claudia has a few more possible presents...
Trip to Puerto Rico
Chevrolet Tahoe
"The cash" ($25,000)
Claudia's choice of envelope is the first E. The show has packaged this puzzle for her:
RSTLNE gives her...
Claudia will take MPCA:
Bah humbug; she does not solve NIGHTFALL...
...and can't receive a Christmas card with $25,000. She's got nearly that much though, as she leaves with $24,350!
A present for the audience...Pat and Vanna romanticize in a rocking convertible...while the staff throws a bunch of snow at it. And one is responsible for the movement of the car as well.
