As I come into the homestretch of your Christmas in July special, let's cover some episodes from S24's Christmas week.
EPISODE #4561: SPIRIT OF THE SEASON
Airdate: 12/25/06
Go!
Wanda's FRIENDS AND FAMILY will be happy to hear that she got on the board first (her noise sounds like a tea kettle, and I love it).
Kicking off that week:
Wanda Chestnut: Cleveland, OH. A return student to Cleveland State University who's married with 3 kids. She also likes to sing (she especially loves the praise team at her church) and cook with her family.
Michael Marble: Tigard, OR. Senior accountant at one of the oldest local public accounting firms in Portland (and one of the finest as well) who's married 8 years to Rachel.
Kelly Steele: Newport, VA. Sales worker for a vaccine manufacturing company (I swear that has a different meaning today...) who's married with a 2-year-old son (Cohen; they're both at home).
Go!
Wanda's making that noise again with CORDLESS PHONE.
FEATURED PRIZE: trip to Elbow Beach by Mandarin Oriental in Bermuda (marked SPIRIT of the SEASON all week) worth $6,400
GIFT TAG: HSN.com
"And Charlie, Merry Christmas."
"And the same to you, Pat."
How's this for a gift, it's also our...
PRIZE PUZZLE!
Michael will witness the NATURAL SPLENDOR on his trip to PERU (JW Marriott Hotel Lima, American Airlines) worth $5,600.
TRIP SPIN ID: MP01555
BANKRUPT: Wanda
JACKPOT ROUND
THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR: Meineke
"The Grinch just walked in." - Pat after Michael's BANKRUPT
Kelly recites "DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW".
BANKRUPT: Michael
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $11,850
MYSTERY ROUND
THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR: LowerMyBills.com
Michael solves COSMETICS & BEAN COUNTER.
BANKRUPTS: 2 (ladies)
Go!
Wanda can't complete the sweep with a blank, but Kelly has some PIGS IN A BLANKET.
Michael tried to spin after Kelly BANKRUPTed. I know it's Christmas, but let's try to play fair with everyone, m'kay?
BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED for Wanda - she can make her own tea kettle sound without them!
BANKRUPT: Kelly
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $1,400
Wanda: C
Michael: M ($1,400)
Michael fends off Wanda's comeback bid by IDing disgraced and former Today show host MATT LAUER.
DUD DURING SPEED-UP: C (Wanda)
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: just $19,550
BANKRUPT TRASH: $20,000 even
BONUS ROUND:
Michael, these presents are waiting for you under the Christmas tree...
2007 Dodge Nitro SXT 4X2 ($22,160)
2007 Infiniti G35 Coupe ($37,640)
Some cash ($25K-$50K)...
...or the ultimate stocking stuffer ($100,000)!
After we see Rachel (who's also going to Peru), we see Michael spin to the 100's Digit.
RSTLNE gives two to begin:
Contestant wipe is a snowflake.
CDPA gives two more...
He probably was thinking about the Food part of the category, so Michael doesn't solve CHABLIS...
...and he loses $25,000 due to not being a wine drinker. That sends him home with $10,150 in cash & trip.
Pat and Vanna trade their gifts in the stockings. Pat gets various kinds of beef jerky while Vanna just gets some word puzzles with Pat's face, the "Pat Sajak's Lucky Letters Game" (which comes out in the beginning of 2007)...and an autographed photo of himself (with Vanna's name missing an N; she rightly hits him with that).
And so, there's just one more left in this Christmas in July special...did anyone catch the Lucky Letters disc in the end?
FINAL NOTE: The last KingWorld logo debuts in this episode.
