Kathleen & Kurt solve CRAIG T. NELSON.

Velda & Bryan	Airis & Darrell	Kathleen & Kurt
$1,000	$11,950	$17,600

Bryan will receive the $10,000 minimum for his charity, while Darrell will receive $11,950.

BONUS ROUND:

The champion of the week will receive a 5-day trip to Tampa for 989 Sports NFL Players Party and Super Bowl XXXV. This includes VIP passes for the Super Bowl of Parties, plus player-autographed merchandise, NFL Players Party merchandise, a Sony laptop with NFL shopping spree, and Sony PlayStation with 15 games including 989 Sports NFL GameDay 2001.

Kathleen & Kurt have had a pretty good game! Now Kathleen could win one of:

2000 Mustang GT convertible (over $27,000)

Regal sport boat (over $27,000)

2000 Lincoln Navigator (over $53,000)

Audi TT convertible

"The cash" ($25,000)

Over to the envelopes! After some debate, Kurt picks the W for win. This is their puzzle:

PHRASE

They do not solve WALK BAREFOOT...

...which means Kathleen won't get the Lincoln Navigator. She leaves with $17,600, and Kurt receives the cash amount for his charity.

Pat and Vanna thank all the NFL stars for participating on the show.

That was such a badly-written final puzzle.

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.
