In my last post, I pressed 8 instead of 9 for the year. Hope I don't do that again...
Mexico Week
Air Date: 3-25-99
Wheel! Of! Fortune!
Oh, it's you again. Will today's winner be lucky enough to win a lot of cold, hard cash? We'll see...
Contestants:
Chris Gilbert is from Prairieville, La. He is a judicial law clerk at a state district court.
Jason Yeager is from Redondo Beach, Ca. He is a chiropractor and intern at Los Angeles College, and stuntman at a pirate show in Las Vegas. (How cool is that?)
Julie Poidevin is from San Antonio. She makes peppermint fudge brownies (for whom?) and is (was) married to Darren for 2 years with a stepson (10yo).
Yes, we have a grand on the wheel. We also have a puzzle, because that what WoF is all about.

PERFECTO! For $4250, Chris solved THE ANDES MOUNTAINS.
After Round 1
Chris: $4,250
Yellow and Blue: quit your fussing, it's round 1
==============================
Well, I see someone could take a break from their kids (if they have any). Our FEATURED PRIZE is a travel package from Randy McNall worth $2,500.
We also have the Oreo Wedge- 1/3 is solid cash, 2/3 is cash down the drain!
$10K/Puzzler Round: The 60s

_ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Jason got off to a bad start. He hit Bankrupt.
Julie
$300: Three R's
$550: Two T's
You want the E? Can't get it. You lost $250 and your turn, as there's no E's.
Chris
$700: Two N's
TRAVEL: One S
Remember when I said that Julie can't get an E? You repeated it, so you lost your turn.
Jason
$300--- for a missed P? Well, that's bad.
Julie
Want the Free Spin? You said L? We don't have one.
Chris
$500: One D
Five O's
The Oreo Wedge has a left side--- that's a Bankrupt. I'll have to take away the TRAVEL package.
Jason
$250: Two C's
$250: Three... Y's? The website I'm using said 3 C's.
$350: One W
Three U's
$600: One H
Going for the solve...
_ S _ / W H _ T / Y O U
C _ N / D O / _ O R
Y O U R / C O U N T R Y
Finally! For $1950, Jason solves ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY. He can earn another 3k if he solves this...
Puzzler: Event
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
ASTRONAUT and JUGGERNAUT are PERSONS. The word was INAUGURATION, so you didn't get it right.
After Round 2:
Chris: $4,250
Jason: $1,950
Julie: you're gonna get a chance one way or another
==============================
JACKPOT is the word that stands out, because it's our Jackpot Round. Another FEATURED PRIZE: An Idaho Afloat w-w rafting adventure on the Snake River through Hell's Canyon worth $7,300.
Jackpot Round: Before and After
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _
_ _ _
This is a long round, so let's speed this up.
Julie got one S for $600, one H for $900, but missed out on T for $350.
Chris went BANKRUPT near the purple $250.
Jason got one R for $800, bought an E, but missed out on L for $600.
Julie missed out on F for $300.
Chris got one N for $300, but got hit by the SAME BANKRUPT.
Jason got one D for $450, but missed out on an A buy.
Julie missed out on a P for $300.
Chris missed out on a C for $300.
Jason got two B's for $250, bought two U's, but got hit by THE SAME BANKRUPT THAT HIT CHRIS.
Julie got one G for $600, and went for the solve...
G R E _ H _ U N D
B U S
B _ _
This round is over! For $2100, Julie solves GREYHOUND BUS BOY.
Jackpot Trash: $10,750
After Round 3:
Chris: $4,250
Jason: $1,950
Julie: $2,100
==============================
Man, all those duds wasted our time. The next round is a SPEED-UP.
Speed-Up Round: Thing
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The wheel's final spin was worth $300. I have no idea which one as the website I'm using can't find the color either.
Chris: T, S, no M
Jason: no N, C (SCREEN isn't right), 2 E's
Julie: 2 R's, P, L, going for the solve...
S L _ _ E
P R _ _ E C T _ R
That's the one! For $1200, Julie solved SLIDE PROJECTOR. However, it's not enough to win...
Final Tally:
Chris: $4,250 *VICTORY*
Jason: $1,950
Julie: $3,300
Total Cash: $9,500
Bankrupt Trash: $5,200 cash and TRAVEL
==============================
Chris did it. He somehow won. Now, he could win more.
W H E E L
Chris picked the H.
Bonus Round: Thing
_ _ _ _
RSTLNE gives him...
_ _ R _
CDMA helps with...
_ A R _
...only the vowel. He tries PARK, LARK, MARK, and CART, but they aren't right. He couldn't get HARP for... the Cozumel/Explorer combo, yet again. He still leaves with a depressing $4,250.
MY REVIEW: ...what just happened? Way too many duds in the Jackpot Round, and a lost Bonus Round. I can't with this one. I give it a 2. I'll be back soon with more!
