Before I cover tonight's episode, I'd like to back up a statement that I said from one of the show's most recent episode about a speedup puzzle that took all vowels to be picked before solving.
Voila, here it is. I know there was another one from 3/19/02 (PLASTIC STRAWS; genius2751 covered it), but it's here for proof. Lucas Cox also uploaded all of the episodes from this movie-themed week, so I may cover the others as well if I have the time.
WHEEL GOES TO THE MOVIES
AIR DATE: 5/28/04
This Week's Intro: Entrance of a Loews movie theater showing the name of the week. Entrance to SPS.
$1,000 Tossup: Phrase
A _ D / _ H E
W _ _ _ _ _ / I S
AND THE WINNER IS...Pam. These players concluded this week...
Pam Peyton: Kansas City, MO. Accountant who has 4 kids & 2 grandkids. Enjoys (casino) boating, bowling and bingo.
Ralph Covington: Concord, NC. Psychotherapist & counselor (Pat mentioned that he had a calming prescence) who was born in 1947 on the same week the incident happened in Roswell, NM (explains why he's so interested in extraterrestrial life; he also had 3 close encounters). Has 2 sons, a daughter-in-law, and 4 grandkids.
Kristina Morgan: Fair Oaks, CA. Recruitment officer for the state of California (in human resources). Married to her "year after high school sweetheart" Scott w/ a 3.5-yr.-old daughter named Haley Burt (she distracts her from the show).
Pat wonders why those extraterrestrials always land on swamps and talk to people drinking beer. Ralph's response: Everyone needs friends. And I'm sure the ladies (CC misspelled Kristina's first name as Christina BTW) didn't have a close encounter at all.
$2,000 Tossup: People

COUNTRY LEGEND, Ralph? Really?

Kristina: Called one lousy dud.
Pam: $27,870 cash & prizes
Pat claims that since it happened, life has been "a living hell" (yes, he did say that on TV) - it's gotten worse over time. Also, Pat tosses the cardboard on the wheel going to commercial.

No total clean sweep here as the closest Pam could get is FLYING CRUST. She doesn't eat off this FLAKY CRUST for $25,000, but she already has $40,220 cash & prizes.
