African Safari
Air Date: 3-6-98
Wheel! Of! Fortune!
Silly you, you read the name wrong. We aren't in Africa, but today, one of our champs might go to Africa...
Sayuri Pope
Won $32,038 cash and prizes
Kelli George
Won $22,750
Andy Ankowski
Won $26,900
And now, we begin the show.
Round 1: Before and After
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Sayuri starts us off with two R's for $400 each and two S's for $400 each, but she duds with T on the TDV.
Kelli lands on $250, but she can't find an N.
Andy gets an L for $550, but no M for $400.
Sayuri finds a P for the Free Spin, two C's for $450 each, four E's, three H's for $250 each, two A's, two D's for $500 each, two O's to finish the vowels and a K for $300.
Sayuri is solving...
L O O K / S H A R P
C H E D D A R
C H E E S E
...LOOK SHARP for that CHEDDAR CHEESE. Sayuri combines the two for $3800.
After Round 1:
Sayuri: $3,800
================================
I bless the raiiiins down in Aaaaafrica... Oh, excuse me, it's time to add a prize!
PRIZE: Trip to Aston Wailea resort in Maui (not Africa)
Price: $5,586
Marking: HAWAII
Round 2: Things (grammar alert)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
Kelli's spin lands on $800, but she misses with N again.
Andy gets four S's for $800 each, but he hits Lose a Turn.
Sayuri misses with R on $300, but she uses the FS. She then finds two C's for $400 each, two E's, a T for $400, two O's and a P for $2500.
Sayuri is solving...
_ O S T E S S
C _ P / C _ _ E S
...the puzzle makers probably forgot their grammar, but Sayuri eats all of our HOSTESS CUP CAKES (should be CUPCAKES) for $3200.
After Round 2:
Sayuri: $7,000
================================
Zamina mina zangalewa, this time for Africa... excuse me, these songs are stuck in my head.
Jackpot Sponsor: Tiger Electronics (promoting their WoF game)
PRIZE: Cabela's GC plus Coleman Redwood folding trailer by Fleetwood
Price: $6,649
Marking: OUTDOORS
Jackpot Round: Phrase
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ / _ _ / _ _
This is a long round, so let's speed it up using my previous format.
Andy
$250: Three T's
$500: One H
Two A's
$900: No L
Sayuri
$250: No R
Kelli
HAWAII: No N (man, the N's hate her today)
Andy
HAWAII: One M
Lose a Turn
Sayuri
$700: Two S's
One E
Solve... INCORRECT! She says THAT MAKES THE, restarted, and only got the first two words.
Kelli
$600: One K
No I
Andy
$500: One W
Solve...
T H A T / M A K E S
T W _ / _ _ / _ S
THAT MAKES TWO OF US, Andy says. He wins $1500 and the Hawaii trip.
After Round 3:
Sayuri: $7,000
Kelli: getting unlucky
Andy: $7,086 *TRIP*
================================
...I ran out of songs about Africa to sing.
Round 4: People
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sayuri starts with an R for $550, two S's for $250 each, two E's and a $600 T before buying a bad O.
Kelli finds a P for $250, a D for $900 and an N for $300 to wrap up the consonants.
Kelli is solving...
P E D E S T R _ _ N S
And for $1450, Kelli knows who PEDESTRIANS are. Don't run over them!
After Round 4:
Sayuri: $7,000
Kelli: $1,450
Andy: $7,086 *TRIP*
================================
Well, it looks like we still have time.
Round 5: Thing
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
Kelli gets a $300 N and T, but $900 won't get her an S.
T _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ N
DING DING DING DING
...I mean, we saw it coming. Pat's final spin gives consonants a price of $250.
Sayuri: 4 E's, 3 L's
Kelli: 2 R's, C
Andy: H, G
Kelli is solving...
T H E / C _ L _ R
_ E L L _ / G R E E N
...looks like Kelli knows THE COLOR KELLY GREEN to win $1350.
Final Tally:
Sayuri: $7,000 (leaves with $39,038)
Kelli: $2,800 (leaves with $25,550)
Andy: $7,086 and TRIP (WIN, $33,986 so far)
================================
NAAAAAAANTS INGONYAAAAAAAMA BAGITHI BABAAA.
Sorry, I got carried away with songs about Africa. Anyway, can Andy go home with a BR win?
_ H E E L
Andy picked the first E.
Bonus Round: Fictional Character
_ _ R _ _ E L _
RSTLNE KYPO
...well it looks like GAME OVER. He didn't get GARFIELD and so, he lost the $25k. That's the third time the money was lost that week. He still leaves with $7,086 today and $33,896 total!
MY REVIEW: Yes, I was thinking about songs that are about Africa. But this game was okay. From the grammatical error in HOSTESS CUP CAKES, and Andy winning by $86, I give this a 6. I'll be back soon with more! Be sure to watch WoF's 39th season premiere tomorrow!
