APPLICABLE EPISODES: Monday, Tuesday, Friday
I was gonna do this recap last week, but the sound quality of Eric's upload (he's one of the contestants this episode) turned me away. Thankfully, wheelfan82 was able to upload a better-quality version of this episode, so major thanks to him for doing that.
Also, this recap takes place 4 years after my last recap.
EPISODE #4723: BEST FRIENDS WEEK FROM NYC
Airdate: 11/7/07
Go!
I remember playing PLAYGROUND BASKETBALL in my elementary school days - Debra scores.

Go!
Eric has some CHEESE AND CRAKERS.
FEATURED PRIZE: pair of Macy's shopping sprees (marked febreze - they sponsor this prize along with the double-width $2,500 space) worth $8,000
Debra & Jamie solve THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART GARFUNKEL for the $2,000 house minimum.
DUD: D (Kathy/Heidi)

I have no idea where that D would go...

PRIZE PUZZLE!
The "ding" didn't sound on the B.
Eric solves and they'll be seeing the GLIMMERING BLUE SEA on their trips to ST. MAARTEN (Sonesta Great Bay Beach Resort & Casino, Funjet Vacations) worth $9,000.
TRIP SPIN ID: RC05506
DUD: T (Gina/Eric)

BONUS ROUND:

RSTLNE gives a third:
CMPA aren't there, but the D pick does reveal something at least...
Eric says DUFFLE at first (DUFFLE CUSHION), but then they stumble on DOUBLE and Eric barely beats the buzzer with DOUBLE VISION! After they share some hugging (And Eric even hugs Vanna at the puzzleboard!), this team's won $30,000 for a final cash/Caribbean total of $41,950 - thank goodness for Wild Cards!
Pat & Vanna discuss about that miraculous BR solve in the end.
