This week, viewers had a chance to win a trip to Aruba each night (trip details on the prize wedge) by entering the bonus puzzle.
S21, EPISODE #4026: ARUBA
Airdate: 3/1/04
Go!
Joi solves GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE.
It's a battle of the J's to begin this month:
Joi Cordelia Jackson: Charlotte, NC. Recent UNC Charlotte graduate who's working on her family business (non-profit organization). She's named after her grandma (who's named after MacBeth).
Jennifer Miller: Hollywood, FL (but raised in the Keys). Worker for a mortgage lender with a 7-year-old son.
Jim Buchanan: Omaha, NE. Building manager who's married to Dottie for 32 years with 2 engaged kids.
Go!
I'm not watching this one on a FLAT SCREEN TV (in fact, I'm using my iPhone for this one), but the excitable Jennifer's going first.
MON/WED/FRI GIFT TAG: Maui Jim
Jim solves THE WORLD BOOK ENCYCLOPEDIA for the house minimum.
DUDS: S & U (Jennifer)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (others)
2 L's...

Interestingly enough, all of this week's Aruba trips include Delta airfare.
JACKPOT ROUND
THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR: BrandSource
I FORGOT WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY...ah yes, Jim solves again.
DUDS: E (Jim), L (Joi)
BANKRUPT: Jennifer
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $8,650
Yet another piece of consonativity from this man...the G's being left out.

BONUS ROUND

SUPPORTERS: Dottie, his kids (Jim Jr., Christy)
SPACE SPUN: Pink
RSTLNE gives three:
Contestant wipe is a guy windsurfing.
Jim chooses HCMO...and he's on his own.
He guesses NEVER and NIGHT for the second word, so he clearly doesn't have A NIFTY IDEA to win the $40,000.
JIM'S FINAL TOTAL: $15,250 ($9,500 plus the trip to Paris)
Fun Fact #1: Aruba's 18 miles north of Venezuela. In other words, this island's not prone to hurricanes whatsoever.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Meh, not that good of a start to Aruba week thanks to some early consonativity and lack of blockbuster moments with a Bonus Round wipeout to boot. It's a 5/10.
I'd like to also mention that this is the first episode returning back from Phoenix.

Contestant wipe is a guy windsurfing.
Jim chooses HCMO...and he's on his own.
He guesses NEVER and NIGHT for the second word, so he clearly doesn't have A NIFTY IDEA to win the $40,000.
JIM'S FINAL TOTAL: $15,250 ($9,500 plus the trip to Paris)
Fun Fact #1: Aruba's 18 miles north of Venezuela. In other words, this island's not prone to hurricanes whatsoever.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Meh, not that good of a start to Aruba week thanks to some early consonativity and lack of blockbuster moments with a Bonus Round wipeout to boot. It's a 5/10.
I'd like to also mention that this is the first episode returning back from Phoenix.
