The Opener
No, this next set of recaps aren't Christmas themed, but they are themed to home...which kinda makes sense for the holidays.
S22, EPISODE #4102: HOME SWEET HOME
Airdate: 9/14/04
Go!
Jodi solves the magazine HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.
Tuesday's panel:
Jodi Adler: Sherman Oaks, CA. She taught school, been a stand-up, was a news anchor person, a weight loss counselor and a financial analyst.
Jermaine Stevenson: Sumter, SC. In between jobs currently who came to Culver City by train (it took 3 days for him to get here; he'd rather drive, but was convinced to take the train).
Melissa Gonzalez: Albuquerque, NM. Mechanical engineer who recently bought a house. She enjoys playing volleyball, soccer, tennis and snowboarding in her spare time and has a three-legged dog named Tip. Also, her dad's celebrating his birthday at this time.
Go!
Jermaine pinpoints the CASCADE RANGE, which is in the Great Northwest (and a great train trip too).
GIFT TAGS: Coleman, LINENS-N-THINGS
We might see Melissa in THE WINNER'S CIRCLE pretty soon after she claims that big cash prize.
DUD: A (Jermaine)
HOME SWEET HOME PRIZE ON WHEEL: trip to Hotel Monteleone + classes at the New Orleans School of Cooking ($5,300)
JACKPOT ROUND
Unfortunately for Melissa, she forgot that the O's are on the board as she painfully misses with HERE'S MUD ON YOUR EYE SHADOW; she pretty much threw away $18K+ altogether (including a $11,750 pot).
Jodi makes the house minimum correction with HERE'S MUD IN YOUR EYE SHADOW.
DUDS: T (Melissa), P (Jodi), L (Jermaine), F & G (Melissa)
BANKRUPTS: 2 (non-Melissas)
DQ: Melissa's blown solve
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $12,150
MYSTERY ROUND
Jody only had $150 after calling G.
Jodi solves SNIP SNAP, MIRRORS, STRIPED POLE. Quite appropriate considering I just got a haircut yesterday and she knows we're at the Barbershop.
AIRED DUDS: G (Jodi), A (Jermaine)
UNAIRED BANKRUPT: Jodi
AIRED DQ: Melissa's A repeat
Go!
This SPRINGER SPANIEL fetches Melissa the money (quite appropriate I should say).
Melissa almost tried to spin...
DING DING! DING DING!
...and she can't now.
FINAL SPIN: $1,300
Do you remember your MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSMATES? I remember some of mine and Jermaine finishes with a strong runner-up total.
DUD: R (Jodi)
FINAL SCORES
At least Melissa's being honest in making some mistakes this game. Then again, she won so it's no big deal.
WINNINGS SO FAR: $30,550
BANKRUPT TRASH: $5,350
BONUS ROUND
MELISSA’S SUPPORTERS: her dad & sister
SPACE SPUN: S in CASH
RSTLNE gives three to start:
DMBU...gives us our second straight wipeout and Melissa can only guess LEADING (Pat said LOADING SPUNKY, LEADING SPARKY and LIFTING SPOONGY after the buzzer). She may be LOOKING SPIFFY, but it's no good for the $25,000.
MELISSA'S FINAL TOTAL: $13,200 (all cash)
Vanna likes that photo bedind the podiums (that's what most of the US will look like in the coming months). Apparently, Pat's thinking that it's fire season down in SoCal...
OVERALL THOUGHTS: There were some strategy (and edit) fails, but at least everyone won something. 5/10
Oh, and the Bonus Puzzle is a perfectly acceptable Phrase. It definitely wasn't an easy one, but it's infinitely better than those random sentence BRs we have today.
