S16, EPISODE #2955: $HOPPING $PREE
Airdate: 10/16/98
Last $hopper$ this week:
Jantreice Washington: Reno, NV. Navy paralegal stationed in San Diego (14 years in the branch; previously stationed in Cuba, San Francisco and overseas).
Eileen Miller: Manhattan Beach, CA. Registered nurse who's married to Dave (he coaches basketball at USC) with 2 sons.
Paul Moreau: Cordova, TN (found at the Marriott in Memphis). Works for a major express company as a business analyst. who's married to Jennifer and plays in a band on the weekends (The Millionaires).
Steve Jobs wouldn't make a product called a CARAMEL APPLE COMPUTER, but Jantreice's right anyway.
DUDS: S (Jantreice), N (Eileen)
BANKRUPT: Paul
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: 9d Collette Tour of CALIFORNIA ($3,658)
The answer finally came to Eileen and she's won that tour of her home state (but it's still worth it).
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!
You know the drill - it's $3,000 Puzzler time (and I believe this sound was reused from an old game show)...
...but Eileen draws a blank on Dorothy's home state - KANSAS.
DUD: S (Paul)
LOSE A TURN: Jantreice
BANKRUPT: Eileen
2ND PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: 1wk vacay at the New York Marriott Marquis + $2,500 GC to Tourneau Time Machine ($6,810)
Visit half of the Statue of Liberty's head...LOL.
JACKPOT ROUND
What was your ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL back then (mine was Mrs. Anderson)? Anyway, Eileen's got another puzzle down.
DUD: D (Paul)
BANKRUPT: Jantreice
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $8,450
And according to rule 501B in the "Wheel of Fortune" rules, we added a $5,000 to our wheel this round...
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $600
Jantreice: 3 N's ($3,950)
Eileen: C
Paul: 5 E's
Jantreice: 2 R's ($5,150)
Eileen: 2 M's ($1,200)
Paul: 2 F's ($1,200)
Paul solves MADE FROM THE FINEST INGREDIENTS to get off the schneid.
DUD AFTER BELL: C (Eileen)
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: $12,208
BANKRUPT TRASH: $6,650
BONUS ROUND
Yes, Eileen. Bonus Land is indeed magical.
LETTER PICKED: H (For happiness...or "what the heck" according to Pat)
RSTLNE gives two E's:
CGMA gives her a good shot...
...but Eileen still blows it with MAKE A CHANCE and we've been SKUNKED for the first time this season. Since she didn't MAKE A CHOICE on giving the correct answer, there goes that Paris vacation.
EILEEN'S FINAL TOTAL: $8,558 ($4,900 plus the California tour)
Pat brings out the number drawer (the tingy that sorts the players into their podiums; it's a bottle with balls inside of it). Vanna draws #2. Yes, there's three balls in this.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Sigh, this week shouldn't have been a skunking. While there were some enjoyable moments, it's still a 4/10.
Sadly, this week didn't even crack the $100K mark as it only gave away a pitiful $75,608. And believe it or not, this isn't the season-low for a weekly total.
