Airdate: February 28, 2003

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This cruise is almost over.

There are still a few things to finish, like this Toss-Up.

$1,000 Toss-Up

THINGS

Go!

THINGS

The blue contestant begins to say the answer without ringing in, but stops.

Roxanne solves SNORKEL & MASK.

Roxanne	Sam	Pat
$1,000

Our final guests on this cruise:
Roxanne Torronci (?): Registered nurse at a large infertility practice, from Whittier, CA
Sam Richardson (female): Singer, also portrays Aretha Franklin in a show, from Newark, CA
Pat Duffy: Controller, from Lake Tahoe, NV

Roxanne also brings a photo of her dogs on the show. The staff loves the photo, but apparently they're not allowed to show the photos on camera because everyone might start doing it, so she just shows the photo to a host named Pat instead.

Sam is engaged to a man who is also named Sam. Our contestant is sometimes referred to as "little Sam", and she is marrying "big Sam". That can get confusing.

This Toss-Up won't bark or bite. All you need to do is buzz in and solve. Don't worry, we're not using the same puzzle twice in one day.

$2,000 Toss-Up

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Go!

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Roxanne solves JOLLY GREEN GIANT.

Roxanne	Sam	Pat
$3,000

Roxanne will "begun to spun". She might find the $10,000 "fund"!

We'll add one more cruise before we depart, and this one is a Princess Cruise journey to Alaska (labeled PRINCESS) worth $7,700.

If you're going that way, you might as well take that Jackpot with you if you can.

To these mysterious waters, we find two special wedges. If you flip one over, you might get sunk by a BANKRUPT, or you might discover a Honda Civic worth $14,070!

Round 3

PERSON

Roxanne	Sam	PAT
		Prize?: T (He flips it... ...Honda Civic!) $900: S (x3) -$250: E (x6) $900: M (x2) -$250: I (x3) -$250: A (x4) $500: N (x2) BANKRUPT! ($18,820)

$400: P (x2) $700: G $800: Z $900: X Solve: Correct!
$3,200

PERSON

Roxanne solves PEOPLE MAGAZINE'S SEXIEST MAN ALIVE.

Do I hear that sound? We have another bonus! She could get $3,000 more by answering this...

(The old $3,000 Puzzler chime briefly and quietly sounds before the normal High Rollers chime cuts it off.)

Who was the 2002 choice for "Sexiest Man Alive"?

She guesses George Clooney, but we were looking for Ben Affleck. The one year that Roxanne doesn't look. Go figure.

Roxanne	Sam	Pat
$6,200		$5,100

Make sure you're always looking at this puzzle, as you could get some extra cash!

$3,000 Toss-Up

CLASSIC TV

Go!

CLASSIC TV

Pat quickly solves MIAMI VICE.

Roxanne	Sam	Pat
$6,200		$8,100

And look at this! The $5,000 space could change everything.

Round 4

THINGS

Roxanne	Sam	PAT
		$5,000: R

THINGS

DING DING! DING DING!

Pat begins to spin again, but another Pat insists it's the wrong Pat.

Since we're running out of time, the other Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Well, at least someone hit the silver.

Pat: S ($6,600)
Roxanne: T ($1,600)
Sam: N (x3) ($4,800)
Pat: C (x2) ($9,800)

THINGS

Pat guesses CONNECTING ROADS, which works but is incorrect. He says CONNECTING again, but runs out of time.

Roxanne: G ($3,200)

THINGS

Roxanne guesses CONNECTING RINGS.

Sam: C (Repeat)
Pat: H (DUD!)
Roxanne: P (DUD!)
Sam: D (DUD!)
Pat: O (x3) ($9,800)

THINGS

Pat now solves CONNECTING ROOMS.

Roxanne	Sam	Pat
$6,200		$17,900

I guess Sam just couldn't connect the dots. The penalty spins didn't help, either. Pat says she will receive some nice parting gifts, but he is corrected "by 92 people!" to say she will be receiving the $500 cash prize.

BONUS ROUND:

One Pat will be taking home a prize...but we'll aim to give it to our blue contestant.

Watching are his wife, daughter, son, and two of his best friends!

Host Pat also mentions that the $35,000 prize was hit three times this week, even though it only has one envelope. Will we make it four?

He spins the Bonus Wheel and hits the singles digit. Inside the "$100,000", that could be a good sign as we face this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THINGS

RSTLNE gives him:

THINGS

BMFA had better do something good.

THINGS

He gets KEYS, but he does not solve PIANO KEYS...

...and he's unable to add an extra $25,000. Pat will leave with an all-cash total of $17,900.

Pat comments on Vanna's suit, and she start by thinking "guys and dolls". Pat thinks she could have said "Lion King".
