Can you solve this Preview Puzzle?
From the Louisiana Superdome, it's America's Game! We're almost full after all that food...
The answer to the above puzzle is FRENCH QUARTER. "Nice job, audience! You win nothing...but the satisfaction of a job well done."
Closing with these contestants:
Shawnette Sylvester: General manager at a hot sauce/spice store, soon-to-be entrepreneur, from New Orleans
Tim Good: Deputy U.S. Marshal for 14 years and counting, from Slidell
Sherry Shanikas: Director of baseball operations at Tulane University, from Kenner
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. It starts as just one more bite, but then it becomes something big. Let's get started again!
Tim solves LOUIS ARMSTRONG, though pronouncing the S in the first name. Anyway, he has a chance at a $3,000 Puzzler bonus!
His only guess is JELLY BELLY, and the audience laughs. He does not solve HELLO DOLLY. Pat tries to sing "jelly belly" in a deep voice.
Shawnette solves DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE DOUBLE YOUR FUN. We can't quite double her money with this, but a $3,000 bonus would be fun!
And Doublemint Gum is correct! (Wrigley's Doublemint)
Shawnette solves SAVINGS AND LOAN ME A TWENTY. She's winning so much money that Pat says she doesn't need a loan.
You can't loan us some more time? I guess Pat has give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Shawnette starts!
Shawnette: L ($1,600)
Tim: P (DUD!)
Sherry: S (DUD!)
Shawnette: C ($3,200)
Tim: D (DUD!)
Sherry: F (x2) ($3,200)
