Here's the remaining episode from Southern California week...and here's a puzzle for y'all to ponder on.
S17, EPISODE #3161: SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Airdate: 11/1/99
As usual, Pat goofs up saying HUBBLE BERRY - it's HALLE BERRY.
Kicking off the month of November:
Don Pickard: Bakersfield, CA (but a SoCal native who moved 7 months ago). Insurance broker who married this July. Also enjoys scuba diving.
Gerrydine Wilson: Waelder, TX (81mi east of San Antonio).Teacher at Bastrop Intermediate School (5th-6th grade) who also sings in the church choir.
Steve Mathis: Savannah, GA. Middle School PE teacher who's married with 2 kids. Enjoys golfing and casting with his father-in-law. Also does some gigging (catching flounder with a harpoon pole in the middle of the night).
Don pinpoints MOUNT MCKINLEY in Alaska. Here's a chance to turn that 1 into a 4...
He painfully missed it with SNOW-COVERING - it was SNOW-COVERED.
DUDS: R (Don), S (Gerrydine), A (Steve), P (Gerrydine), D (Steve)
DQ: Don's A repeat
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: a $2,500 Local Motion GC (marked SURF)
And just like that, Steve solves I SLEPT LIKE A BABY HIPPOPOTAMUS.
DUDS: N (Steve), R (Don), D (Gerrydine)
BANKRUPT: Gerrydine
2ND PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: Club Med vacation ($4,800)
JACKPOT ROUND
At this point, both Pat and Charlie have been part of the show for 18 years. Damn that feels long.
Category wipe is a house.
Steve solves WALL-TO-WALL CARPETING.
DUDS: S (Don), H (Gerrydine)
BANKRUPT: Steve
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $7,700
Two W's...
DING DING! DING DING!
Steve spun just as the bells rang.
FINAL SPIN: $1,900
Don: N ($3,700+)
Don IDs STEVE MARTIN to keep the surf...and the game!
DUDS BEFORE SPEED-UP: L (Don), C (Gerrydine), D (Steve)
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: $14,400
BANKRUPT TRASH: $1,050
BONUS ROUND
PRIZES
Palm Desert & Camaro Convertible ($34,475; Pat mistakenly said $28K+)
San Diego & Hunter Sailboat ($26K+)
Beverly Hills & Ford Explorer ($28,210)
Laguna Beach & Mazda Miata ($35K+)
$25,000 Cash
LETTER PICKED: W
RSTLNE gives Don a third:
KCDA gives a couple more...
But Don goes off course with MAKER STATE and BAKER SQUARE, so he lost the Laguna & Miata package in this POKER GAME.
DON'S FINAL TOTAL: $8,050 ($5,550 plus a gift certificate)
Vanna brings some peppers from her garden (the smaller ones are hotter than the big ones). Pat tries one of the small peppers...and he's fine afterwards (even though Vanna offered him some water).
REST OF THE WEEK: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Although the men had a decent match, there was some misfortune sprinkled in unfortunately. It's on the fence, but I'll give it a 5/10.
