S15, EPISODE #2843: LAS VEGAS
Airdate: 2/11/98
Midweek panel:
Albany Colvin: Las Vegas (moved 9 years ago from Louisiana). Works for several different companies and introduces their new products to the public who's married to Michael
C.J. Walden: Las Vegas (lived 25 years there). Car seller (top seller past 4 years) who's married to Nancy (he's wearing those lucky ruby slippers his wife got for him) with 2 kids.
Courtney Bettingen: Reno. UNR senior studying political science and substitute teacher.
Albany solves HONEYMOON SUITE. Yes, that is the sound of excitement.
DUDS: R (C.J.), C (Courtney), P (C.J.), K (Courtney)
LOSE A TURN: Albany
BANKRUPT: also Albany
PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: 6n trip to the Hilton at Short Hills, NJ (marked SPA), $4,300
The buzzer sounded on the A repeat. Also, C.J. was "this" close to getting the SURPRISE on his last spin.
This should've been PROPER NAME, but C.J. IDs the late DEBBIE REYNOLDS ("Singin' In the Rain" plays in place of the normal solve cue). She also made a cameo (and basically has been a fixture in this lovely city).
DUDS: T (C.J.), A (Albany), C (C.J.)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (ladies)
DQ: Courtney's A repeat
JACKPOT ROUND
Albany solves STAR SAPPHIRE PINKIE RING. Um, shouldn't it be PINKY instead?
DUDS: L (Albany), C (C.J.), F (Courtney)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (non-Albanys)
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $14,650
As an Elvis impersonator takes us out of commercial, we find out that we're already out of time again. And like last time, Pat spins up to $5,000!
Courtney just went from zero to hero and denied a big payoff from the other lady by solving TAX AND GRATUITY NOT INCLUDED.
DUDS: H (C.J.), B (Courtney), W (Albany), P (C.J.)
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: $33,450
BANKRUPT TRASH: $1,000
BONUS ROUND
No BANKRUPTs stopped Courtney from making it here.
LETTER PICKED: L
RSTLNE gives Courtney 30%:
CGMO is limited...
LOVE RUNNER is wrong. Not sure if she has been part of a LOVE AFFAIR before, but Courtney missed out on an extra $25,000.
COURTNEY'S FINAL TOTAL: $20,000 (all cash, eligible for Friday Final)
Albany also made it to the Finals as well. Also, the hosts don't sign off in the end.
REST OF THIS WEEK: Thursday, Friday Final
OVERALL THOUGHTS: A lackluster first half, but the second half did pick up some steam (despite Albany losing $45K in the Speed-Up). Tough call, but it's a 6/10.
