EPISODE #4394: VIVA LAS VEGAS
Airdate: 2/2/06
Go!
This is pretty ironic - Rico, the sole male, blanks out while Theresa solves RENTING A TUXEDO.
Thursday's contestants:
Theresa Villets: Clifton, NJ. Works for a non-profit domestic violence agency who loves the New Jersey Devils (hockey team) and has 4 tattoos.
Tara Gentry: Northglenn, CO. CU Boulder senior studying International Affairs (plans to join The Peace Corps and go to Africa after graduation) who also speaks Spanish and French.
Rico McClinton: Los Angeles, CA. Personal trainer who's married with 3 kids. He also raised roller pigeons (they originate from England and do stunts).
Go!
Rico gets it this time with EAGLE SCOUT.
VEGASBIRD TRIP: Palms Casino Resort via vegas.com ($4,000)
FYI, the prize wedge has the vegas.com logo like on Tuesday's episode.
There was no reaction on the $2,500 hit. Not like it mattered anyway.
Rico then just solves MATTRESS & LILY PAD.
DUD: N (Rico)
LOSE A TURN: Theresa
BANKRUPT: Tara
JACKPOT ROUND
Charlie: the only man that could talk hours about eggs on end.
Rico enjoys some ALASKAN KING CRAB LEGS.
DUD: D (Theresa)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (ladies)
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $8,650
Pat has an inkling that Rico's not much of a gambler. I think so as well...
MYSTERY ROUND
Someone could get quite lucky here because this one's a...
PRIZE PUZZLE!
The backside of the MYSTERY was shown before Tara called her letter. Also, Rico placed the gift tag on his "wedge ledge".
Rico makes the solve and he could take the MUCH-NEEDED REST AND RELAXATION after winning the tickets and the trip to Las Vegas...plus another trip to BARBADOS (Almond Resorts, airJamaica) worth $6,300.
DUD: J (Rico)
BANKRUPTS: 3 (ladies; Tara twice)
Pat and Rico arm wrestle going to commercial.
"Viva Las Vegas!"
Go!
Rico solves OPTOMETRIST with absolutely zero confidence.
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $1,300
Rico: R ($2,350)
Theresa: 2 S's ($2,600)
Tara: 2 T's ($2,600)
Rico: L ($3,650)
Rico solves NUTRITIOUS AND DELICIOUS.
FINAL SCORES
If only Rico didn't blank on the first Toss-Up...
WINNINGS SO FAR: $26,850
BANKRUPT TRASH: $9,750 + $2,000 gamble
BONUS ROUND:
Rico hasn't been to Barbados before, but he's been to Las Vegas (well, if you live in LA, it's a quick weekend escape). He doesn't have anyone watching, but he spins the S.
RSTLNE gives a decent start:
Rico goes for PVSTCI...
...looks like his luck finally came to an end.
ANTELOPE is a no-no, so he doesn't have the KNOWLEDGE to make the solve...
...and while it's not the money like he feared, it was actually the Jeep Commander that drives away. Rico's still leaving with $24,850 in cash & prizes.
Today was groundhog day. Apparently, some people hand out presents on that holiday...
