The Opener
Next up in this Christmas journey is filling out the rest of S17's Winter Sports week...please figure out this puzzle first.
INTRO CLIP (11/19/98): Jon Jones wins a Mustang in the Bonus Round.
S17, EPISODE #3182: WINTER SPORTS
Airdate: 11/30/99
As usual, Pat's stumped - it was BRUCE WILLIS.
Anyway, here's Tuesday's panel:
Tom Galloway: Chicago. Major airline worker who's married to Judy with 6 kids (aged 3-10). They enjoy anything outdoors.
Raymond "Ray" Master: Phoenix. Associate pastor at Eastside Baptist Church working with the music and the junior high/high school students who's married to Jill and working on his Master's. Also, he's the first pro go-kart racer on this show (you don't win money, but rather nice trophies).
Mary Kay McCray-Gaskin: Santa Monica. High School career counselor at Santa Monica High School who's married with 2 almost grown children (they want to be movie stars...she is close to Hollywood). She also spent some time in Minnesota (and she does not miss the cold there).
Ray solves A HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY. Let's see if he could turn that 1 into a 4...
Sorry Ray, but FENCE AND GUEST won't fit the category. It was PEACE AND QUIET.
LOSE A TURN: Tom
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: Clio PC companion by Vadem + Chase-Durer chronograph watch (marked TRAVEL), $3,650
Before Ray takes his spin, Pat says to Vanna that she's one hot babe. Aww...
Also, Pat mistakenly said that Mary Kay started this round.
Ray IDs ALEC BALDWIN & KIM BASINGER.
DUDS: T (Ray), P & H (Mary Kay), X (Tom)
2ND PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: Dynastar skis, Lange ski boots, look bindings and Karma ski poles + trip to Sundance Film Festival in Utah (marked Ski), $7,168
JACKPOT ROUND
Mary Kay solves LEMON DROP BY SOMETIME.
DUDS: A (Tom), H (Ray), G (Tom)
LOSE A TURN: Ray
BANKRUPTS: 2 (Mary Kay)
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $10,350
Due to time constraints caused by the length of the budget hearings, Pat's gonna have to give this wheel one more spin. Each consonant from this point on is worth...$1,300. Still anybody's game, though.
Ray solves DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES.
DUD: N (Mary Kay)
DQ: Tom's missolve
FINAL SCORES
Tom was just a few letters away from winning big...
WINNINGS SO FAR: just $6,700
BANKRUPT TRASH: $800
BONUS ROUND
THE REMAINING PRIZES
Trip to Harvey's Hotel & Casino in Lake Tahoe + 2000 Chevy Tahoe 4X4 ($44,101)
Chevy Silverado 2500 ($20K)
Trip for 4 to Aspen, CO ($19,900)
$25,000 Cash
LETTER PICKED: L
RSTLNE gives Ray almost half already:
FKOC should do it for him...
I'm thinking the last two letter calls were precautionary - FRANKFURT, Kentucky gives this man the Lake Tahoe & Tahoe package and his father-in-law comes down to celebrate the win.
RAY'S FINAL TOTAL: $49,701 ($5,600 plus the Tahoe/Tahoe package)
Vanna's been called a hot babe this episode...she should call him a sexy stud (although Pat's honest being called a room-temperature middle-aged guy).
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Some strategy fails here and there and a winner barely cracking $5K before Bonus Round. Though it does get balanced out by some funny moments and an EZ Bonus Puzzle so...6/10.
