NOTE: The recaps for this week were written before the ones from the '06 portion of the season. I decided to wait until "5-Star Getaways" from S22 was completed to post 'em.
Let's hope this week turns out better than the similarly themed "5-Star Getaways" from last season...
We begin with the jetpack lady.
EPISODE #4351: 5-STAR RESORTS
Airdate: 12/5/05
Go!
Cindi solves CRYSTAL STEMWARE.
Kicking off this week:
Cindi Alarie: San Antonio, TX. Watercolor artist who's married to a "5-Star Husband". She's also a member of an extended Polish family from the Detroit area.
Jeff Comer: Las Vegas, NV. Math teacher at Sierra Vista High School who's married to Melissa with 2 kids (Mackenzie 3 months, Mason 3; the latter's the biggest "small" fan of this show).
Heather Hundley: Pismo Beach, CA. Recently started up a dating company (Central Coast) who's also the director of member services in the Chamber of Commerce.
Go!
Cindi spots a SNOWY OWL to triple up.
FEATURED PRIZE: trip to the Four Seasons Hotel in Atlanta (marked 5-Star Resorts all week) worth $4,025
MON/WED/FRI GIFT TAGS: Shari's Berries, RICARDO
There was no reaction on the $2,500 hit.
Jeff solves CHEERLEADERS FORMING A PYRAMID to claim the money and the trip!
DUD: T (Cindi)
There's a plug for the Sony Winner Wonderland Sweeps for the week after this.
JACKPOT ROUND
Before Jeff spins, he shows off his tie that his wife made for him.
Cindi gets a $50 bonus for that one.
DUDS: E (Cindi), C (Jeff)
LOSE A TURNS: 2 (non-Cindis)
BANKRUPT: Heather
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $8,150
MYSTERY ROUND
A very special Thing indeed...
PRIZE PUZZLE!
Cindi reads another puzzle...and has won herself a holiday in MEXICO (Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Hotel & Resort in Cabo) worth $4,900.
DUDS: D (Cindi), L (Heather)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (non-Cindis)
Go!
Cindi's swept the Toss-Ups with FRIED CALAMARI.
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $1,300
Cindi: 3 S's ($3,900)
Jeff: 3 N's ($3,900)
Jeff quickly pinpoints MADISON, WISCONSIN.
FINAL SCORES
Well, at least Heather got to meet Pat & Vanna.
WINNINGS SO FAR: $38,675
NO BANKRUPT TRASH!
BONUS ROUND:
Could Jeff seal his night with a Volvo XC90 win?
Anyway, his wife (Melissa) is there and so is his mother-in-law (Denise); he spins the N in BONUS.
This is the last week (including its extra episode) where the 2003 category strip is used here.
RSTLNE gives two:
Contestant wipe is the five stars.
FHPO leaves two remaining...
Well, he guesses HORMONE and gets the right one of HORIZON...a couple seconds too late.
That bad timing costs him the Volvo XC90 and he's sent packing with $21,525.
Vanna's bought her first X-Mas gift (for this year) in March.
Let's hope this week turns out better than the similarly themed "5-Star Getaways" from last season...
