Yes, we're dipping back into the 24th season again. And this is the last episode that you'll hear a majority of the 2000 Steve Kaplan music cues.
TEEN BEST FRIENDS
AIR DATE: 2/2/07
This Week's Intro: Just Charlie saying that it's Teen Best Friends Week. And no, we don't see the colorful wheel as usual.
$1,000 Tossup: Fun & Games
_ O _ _ T A _ N
B I K _ N _
Dunno if Megan & Jessica have done some MOUNTAIN BIKING, but they struck gold first. These teams wrapped up this week...
Megan Hodgis & Jessica O'Day: Sophmores who met on the basketball court during freshman year (on the JV Team). Enjoy shopping, watching movies & hanging out.
Brain Okoro & Mohammad Fadale: Freshmen who met during 2nd grade on the bus when they were in Chino Hills. Brian's on the freshman basketball team; Mohammad enjoys golfing, video games (normal teenager stuff), and cracking jokes (only Brian gets them).
Rna Waheb & Haleh Farhan: Seniors who've known each other since birth (their parents were friends before they were born. Rna's part of student council and envirothon team (academic team dealing w/ environmental issues); Haleh loves to dance, choreograph...and, of course, playing this game.
Rna's also a current cast member on FBE nowadays. Click here for her bio.
$2,000 Tossup: Rhyme Time
O O E _ -
G O O _ Y
Brian gets the not-so OOEY-GOOEY amount of two grand (he said the answer before Pat called on them).
Pat jokes that this will be the last time that category shows up.
Featured Prize: UNIVERSAL Orlando (admission to two theme parks + accommodations at the Hard Rock Hotel) worth $8,468
Mon./Wed./Fri. Gift Tag: Buy.com (it's now Rakuten)
$10,000 Round: Before & After
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
The boys do the work here: 2 $600 R's, 2 O's & E, an S for the $10,000, U, a $600 L, 3 A's, an F for Buy.com, a $400 V (near $600), the last vowel of 2 I's, and 2 $300 D's.
_ A D / _ A I R
D A _ S / O F
O U R / L I V E S
They solve the fake soap opera BAD HAIR DAYS OF OUR LIVES for $12,550 cash & GCs. PERFECTION!
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Rna/Haleh: Spinning Next
Megan/Jessica: $1,000
Boys: $14,550 cash & GCs
There was absolutely NO fanfare for the $10,000; both in the landing AND in the pickup. I'd let it slide if it was today, but this is unacceptable back then. Oh, and for this week going into the first commercial break, we see photos of this episode's teams.

Eggland's Best Jackpot Round: Place (Also the Prize Puzzle)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ($5,000)
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
Rna & Haleh do the work this time: 3 $900 T's, an S on the same $400, 3 E's & A, a $10,500 R trio, a $900 N, and the other good vowels (I & 2 O's).
_ R O T E _ T E _ ($10,700)
R A I N / _ O R E S T
They've taken the lead with $13,500 plus a couple of trips to possibly see a PROTECTED RAIN FOREST in COSTA RICA (lastminuetravel.com) worth $7,000. PERFECTION #2!
And if you're Spin ID SR10087, you were, like, 13 years too late. Did you have a Sony Card with you?
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Rna/Haleh: $20,500 cash & trips
Megan/Jessica: $1,000
Boys: $14,550 cash & GCs
Same story on the $3,500. But at least for the notable spins, there weren't any awkward zoom-ins.

Mystery Round: Event
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _
With a big hole to climb, Megan & Jessica start with a $900 R, 2 $450 S's, 3 A's, 2 $800 T's, E, 2 $300 N's, 2 $300 G's, 2 I's, but then the G repeat on $900 to likely squander $3,850 - SMH.
The boys hit LOSE A TURN, so Rna & Haleh will call a $450 C, the last vowel of O, and an $800 P.
C R E A T I N G / A
S O N G / P _ A _ _ I S T
I doubt many people are CREATING A SONG PLAYLIST nowadays, but this team will get the bloated house minimum.
Lose a Turn: Boys
DQ: G repeat from Megan/Jessica.
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Rna/Haleh: $22,500 cash & trips
Megan/Jessica: $1,000
Boys: $14,550 cash & GCs
I would've filled in the entire puzzle.

$3,000 Tossup: Show Biz
_ _ E C I A L
E _ _ E _ _ S
Mohammad only says the first word.
_ _ E C I A L
E _ F E _ _ S
Rna pads her team's lead with some SPECIAL EFFECTS.
Round 4: Thing
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
They start with a $550 T, but then BANKRUPT (near $600). Megan & Jessica strike out with S on $300, so the boys will call 2 $800 R's, E & A pairs, but then N for negative while on $600 (near BANKRUPT).
Back to Rna & Haleh who call 2 $800 C's, 2 O's, a $500 M (almost got BANKRUPT), and 3 I's to clear out the vowels.
_ I _ I T A _ / _ I _ E O
C A M C O R _ E R
A DIGITAL VIDEO CAMCORDER gives them yet another house minimum.
Duds: S (Megan/Jessica), N (Boys)
Bankrupt: Rna/Haleh
Pre-Round 4 Scores:
Rna/Haleh: $27,500 cash & trips
Megan/Jessica: $1,000
Boys: $14,550 cash & GCs
Three D's, you two...
Speedup: On The Map
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Final Spin: $1,900
Megan/Jessica: R
Brian/Mohammad: S
Rna/Haleh: T
Megan/Jessica: L
Brian/Mohammad: 4 N's (they called it during yellow's thinking time)
Rna/Haleh: 2 D's
_ N D _ _ N _ _ _ L _ S
_ N D _ _ N _
Rna pinpoints INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA for $3,800 worth of icing.

Final Scores:
Rna/Haleh: $31,300 cash & trips
Megan/Jessica: $1,000 -> $2,000
Boys: $14,550 cash & GCs
Maingame Total: $47,850

$100,000 Bonus Round
The pairs of cars on the stage are 2007 Volkswagen Golf GTI 2drs and 2007 Jeep Compass Limiteds. Haleh has her mom & two sisters. Rna has her parents & her little brother. Both ladies spin to the 1.
Category: Event
RSTLNE just gives a T in the end and I encountered the same puzzle on the Free Play app (albeit categorized as Fun & Games)...
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ T
CAMPing (PMCA) completely fails them and Haleh can only guess PASS and RULE. I wouldn't advise you to start a FOOD FIGHT, but this team lost out on $30,000. Then again, they have slightly more - $31,300 cash & trips that is.
Closing Chat: Wheel's going to Charleston...which is where my next recap will take place.
My Rating: 6 (Dull Audience)
