S16, EPISODE #2953: $HOPPING $PREE
Airdate: 10/14/98
These $hopper$ were waiting to go on and joined hands before this:
Jarrett Levin: Venice, CA. Works in public relations for a specialty store in Beverly Hills who's girlfriend (Jennifer; their relationship's pretty intense) moved in to their new apartment.
Sheila Olt: Farmingdale, NJ. Office Assistant who's married to Brian (they do a bit of travelling) and loves to cook (while he loves to eat).
David Loney: Lexington, SC. Married to Susie with 3 kids (aged 6, 4 & 2).
Before the first round started, our contestants held hands together once. more.
Jarrett IDs BLONDIE & DAGWOOD BUMSTEAD.
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!
Yeah, I saw that sound coming. Here's a $3,000 Puzzler for him...
Understandably silent the whole time, he does not solve SANDWICH (something that Dagwood commonly makes; big and tall ones).
DUD: R (Jarrett)
LOSE A TURN: David
BANKRUPT: Sheila
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: Gateway2000 Family PC + Choice Mall shopping spree (marked SHOP ON LINE), $2,599
Well, I'll LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY and say that Sheila has shot up into the lead.
DUDS: O (Sheila), D (Jarrett)
LOSE A TURN: David
2ND PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: 7d Cruise to Alaska or the Caribbean via NCL ($4,850)
JACKPOT ROUND
Sheila pinpoints 2 cities in Tennessee (even though she initially said NASHFOOT for the first and started over immediately after) - NASHVILLE & KNOXVILLE.
DUDS: T (David), R (Jarrett), M (Sheila), C (Jarrett)
LOSE A TURN: Sheila
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $8,450
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $250
Jarrett: P ($900)
Sheila: K
David: H ($550)
Jarrett: 2 I's
Jarrett solves "LIFE" MAGAZINE PHOTO.
DUDS BEFORE SPEED-UP: S (Jarrett), R (Sheila), C (David)
DUD DURING SPEED-UP: K (Sheila)
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: $18,500
NO BANKRUPT TRASH!
BONUS ROUND
LETTER PICKED: second E
RSTLNE gives Sheila 25%:
GBCO gives her one more...
So much for my thought of BURGUNDY - it was Bobby McBride's home state of VIRGINIA and Sheila also can't go to Rome.
SHEILA'S FINAL TOTAL: $14,000 (all cash)
3 times they tried to give away a trip to Rome, 3 times they failed. Pat's been there (and he's not known as a famous celebrity over there).
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The big highlight here was Sheila winning the $10,000 wedge in R2. The Jackpot should've been won and the Bonus Round was tricky again. This is a 6/10 - at least nothing was lost to the dreaded black space.
