I have time to squeeze in a quickie...it's the episode before a certain couple broke a new record. And while it is Sweethearts Week, no married couples are playing that week - they're engaged. Special thanks to an007 for the contestant names.
SWEETHEARTS WEEK
AIR DATE: 2/8/96
The couple that wins the Friday Finals also wins the Honeymoon trip to Hawaii (first-class Hawaiian Airlines airfare + dream wedding courtesy of Beaches & Dreams Hawaiian Weddings + honeymoon in a private bungalow at Mauna Lani) worth a whopping $32,004.
Here are couples played this Thursday...
Jill Tober & Bob Glouberman: Known each other for 7 yrs. and first met in college (kind of a love-hate relationship; they hope to change that). Got engaged on Christmas Day and plan to marry June 7th.
Btw, for the team weeks like these (if there's any more of it...), I'm gonna use the male's last name.

Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Gloubermans: $3,050

Johnstons: Didn't touch the wheel.
At one point, Bob said "No Bankrupts!" - this ain't Press Your Luck! Also, this game uses the 3-round structure as the R3 layout's being used next.

Peter gets the first word...and Deborah completes it with DOWN PAYMENT! And they'll make one on their new home (if they do consider one) with another $25,000, giving them $54,300 and a spot in the Friday Finals!
Closing Chat: The show's heading to Hilton Waikoloa Village for the next couple of weeks (and footage of the resort is shown).
Final Note: I believe the SURPRISE was electronic equipment since Panasonic was one of the sponsors of this episode.
