I guess some prizes are just too special for even Charlie to announce. This is a personally guided VIP tour of General Hospital's Port Charles, plus a stay at the Georgian Hotel (labeled BACKSTAGE) worth $4,127.

We recommend the $10,000 prize for anyone who is willing to take the risk.

Toyota MR2 Spyder (over $24,000)

2001 BMW Z3 Roadster (over $32,000)

"The cash" ($25,000)

Once more with the envelopes! Anna takes the W, and she tackles this puzzle...

FYI, just type the recap up on Word or Google Docs (or Notepad) using a certain template that you use. It makes it easier on yourself.

Anyway, this was a great episode all around! You could've spotted me the O and I would still be stumped.

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.
