Airdate: September 3, 2001
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's the season premiere of America's game! Welcome to Desert Southwest Week!
Alright, let's begin with a Toss-Up:
Pat forgets to mention the category until just before the Toss-Up is solved.
Go!
Brian solves ONCE AND AGAIN.
Today's contestants:
Brian Schultz: Married, is an administrator at the University of South Florida, officiates baseball games, Temple Terrace, FL
Marva Hilliard: Married, is an executive assistant for major consulting company, Jacksonville, FL
Dante Ruscelli (?): Married, is a writer/comedian, Winnetka, CA
But hold on! You don't get to spin yet, as we now have another Toss-Up, and it's worth $2,000:
Go!
Marva solves RYE BREAD & BUTTER.
No, we're not moving $3,500 to Round 1, but we still have $2,500.
The broadcast does not switch to the proper camera to catch the end of the very first spin.
Dante solves KINGSTON JAMAICA.
You'll soon wonder how they can afford to add prizes to the Wheel. This time, we have a Novica gift certificate (labeled ARTS) worth $2,500.
Happily, our Jackpot value still starts at $5,000 in Round 2:
Brian solves LAKERS SLAM-DUNK A SECOND TITLE.
Another prize is now available. This one is a trip to Palm Springs and stay at La Quinta (labeled TRIP) worth $4,400.
The one-third $10,000 space is more than ready to be picked up (though the main problem is breaking it from those Bankrupts).
Marva guesses IF I KNOW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW.
Dante is correct with IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW for the house minimum.
We still have a Toss-Up here, but now it's worth $3,000!
Go!
Dante guesses TON OF FUN.
Brian guesses SON OF...then goes silent.
Marva gets it with SON OF A GUN.
Thus she keeps control of Round 4:
DING DING! DING DING!
Except that Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. We'll find that consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Now Marva can play:
(Pat accidentally says the category is Rhyme Time, but Marva corrects him.)
Marva: T (DUD!)
Dante: N (x3) ($3,900)
Brian: L (DUD!)
Marva: S (DUD!)
Dante: Y ($5,200)
Brian: R (DUD!)
Marva: B ($1,300)
Dante: J (DUD!)
Brian: S (Repeat)
Marva: O (x2) ($1,300)
Dante: D ($6,500)
Brian: M (DUD!)
Marva: J (Repeat)
Dante: F ($7,800)
Brian: E
Brian solves DOG & FUNNY BONE for the house minimum.
Well, son of a gun. Brian forgot about his Free Spin!
BONUS ROUND:
Hey, this is a premiere. Let's see if we can increase that total with any of these prizes:
Saab convertible (over $44,000)
Chevrolet Avalanche 4x4 (over $34,000)
Chevrolet Tahoe 4x4 (over $44,000)
"The cash" ($25,000), in two envelopes!
We start with an envelope from the second E. The first bonus puzzle is:
RSTLNE gives him...
Brian wants to start us with HCMI:
...fault! No second chances!
He does not solve URUGUAY...
...and can't get his hands on the $25,000. That means he leaves with only $5,100.
