Wheel! Of! Fortune!
On the last episode, there was a carryover champ from Season 12. Today, we have...
Janice Hamby
One day champ with $41,656 (and Greece trip)
Location: Burke, Virginia
Info: Navy commander on the Eisenhower
Samantha McPherren
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
Info: engaged with Paul (Keenan is their son)
Kellie Rasberry
Location: Dallas
Info: Worked on the Kidd Kraddick morning show (KISS FM in Dallas)
Well, let's hope everyone has a good game.
Round 1: Thing
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Our champ Janice starts with two N's for $200 each, two S's for $450 each, two T's for $700 each, two E's, three A's, and two N's for a Free Spin before dudding on D for $500. She used the Free Spin, bought 3 O's and an I, found an L for $200, found three M's for $800 each, and then attempted to solve...
M A R I L _ N
M O N R O E
_ O S T A _ E
S T A M _
...she found a MARILYN MONROE POSTAGE STAMP for $4,300 and a somewhat perfect round.
After Round 1:
Janice: $4,300
Yellow and Blue: quit your fussing
================================
PRIZE: Stay at Mount Airy Lodge at the Pennsylvania Poconos
Price: $2,912
Marking: POCONOS
Round 2: Where Are We?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
(oh boy, a lot of letters...)
Samantha starts with four S's worth $250 each, four T's for the POCONOS trip, two E's and five A's before missing on N for $400.
Kellie misses on R for $400.
Janice finds two M's for $700 and misses on P for $300.
Samantha misses with L for the SURPRISE. Ouch, that's a bad choice.
Kellie can't find a Y for $700.
Janice tries to buy an O, but can't find one.
Samantha finds two H's for the SURPRISE, five I's, two F's for $450 each, and buys the last vowel (U) before solving...
H I _ I S _ U S
F I F T I E T H
S T A T E
M A _ A _ A M I A S
...HIBISCUS FIFTIETH STATE MACADAMIAS. That's what Samantha solves for $900, the POCONOS trip, and the Surprise. $500 more for the correct answer...
What is the fiftieth state?
...you thought Idaho? That's wrong. Kelly says HAWAII, and she's right, so she gets the bonus.
SURPRISE: Jayco J-Series fold down camping trailer
Price: $5,541
After Round 2:
Janice: $4,300
Samantha: $9,353 *TRIP AND TRAILER*
Kellie: $500 for the bonus
================================
Good job so far, as everyone has money of some sort.
Round 3: Phrase
_ / _ _ _ ' _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
(another long one)
Kellie starts with two T's for $600 each, four N's for $450 each, three O's, a K for $150, an I, three A's, and two W's for $800 each...
I / W O N ' T
T A K _ / N O / _ O _
A N / A N _ W _ _
...she botches it with a bad Y on $250.
Janice finds an F for $200, one S for the DOUBLE PLAY, then uses it to get two R's for $1000 x2 (NMC), then tries to solve...
I / W O N ' T
T A K _ / N O / F O R
A N / A N S W _ R
...she knows that I WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. I kinda won't. She gets $4,200.
After Round 3:
Janice: $8,500
Samantha: $9,353 *TRIP AND TRAILER*
Kellie: $500
================================
We've had a good game so far, but we ran out of time.
Speed-Up: Event
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The amount of DQs in this round are insane. Pat's final spin was $500.
Janice: R, P (isn't NEWPORT FILM FESTIVAL), O (NEWPORT MIME FESTIVAL isn't it either), no M, 2 Z's
Samantha: S, N, L, 2 E's, no H, no B
oh, Kellie: 2 T's, V (not NEWPORT WINE FESTIVAL), W (GAME and SNOW wouldn't work), I (CAMP and JUMP misses), 2 A's (NMV), J (JAIL? Really?)
Janice is solving...
NEWPORT
JAZZ
FESTIVAL
...Janice reads what's on the board to win $2500 and the game.
Final Tally:
Janice: $11,000 ($52,656 so far)
Samantha: $9,353 with TRIP and TRAILER
Kellie: only $500
Total Won: $20,853
Bankrupt Trash: NO PENALTIES AT ALL
================================
In the end, Janice won it all. Nice comeback, but can she top it off in Bonus Land?
W _ E E L
Janice picks the L.
Bonus Round: Occupation
_ H _ R M _ _ I S T
RSTLNE MHGI
...she was able to spot PHARMACIST to win... the SAAB 900 SE Turbo convertible worth $39,990! In total, she won $92,646 after 2 days! Well done, Janice!
Pat and Vanna Chat: Oh wait, there was none.
MY REVIEW: A good episode in all, except for the Speed-Up. A lot of DQs there, so I give this a 7. I'll be back soon with more!
