Here's a more sane Preview Puzzle for you...
INTRO CLIP (9/17/98): Eileen Rosenburg wins a Nissan in the Bonus Round.
S17, EPISODE #3190: HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Airdate: 12/10/99
If in case you need the answer, these people are NORWEGIANS.
Final contestants this week:
Marylou Stubb: Reno, NV. Has a daughter (Lisa) and 2 parakeets (she's trying to teach 'em to talk) who likes to study handwriting analysis (it's actually their brain writing).
Jeff Hall: Los Angeles (but originally from Decatur, IL; he's lived in L.A. for 4 years). 7th grade math/science teacher in the L.A. Unified School District.
Jenny Lane: Savannah, GA. Secretary/receptionist for a local lumber company who's married 5 years to her high school sweetheart Clark (they fish together; it's mainly Clark's hobby).
Marylou knows that Denver holds that nickname.
DUDS: N (Marylou), R (Jeff), K (Jenny)
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: trip to the Hilton Head Island Resort Oceanfront (marked SOUTH CAROLINA), $3,400
Marylou recites FROSTY THE SNOW MAN WAS A JOLLY HAPPY SOUL. Can she add another $3,000 bonus before this commercial break?
She's all over it but can't solve SILK HAT.
DUDS: I (Jeff), B (Jenny)
2ND PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: a $7,100 Fred Joaillier GC, which can be used to purchase an 82-point pendant and 74-point diamond earrings (marked DIAMONDS)
JACKPOT ROUND
Marylou's still perfect after solving HUGH GRANT ME THREE WISHES.
DUD: L (Jenny)
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $11,300
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $6,000!
Good thing you had to KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED, Marylou - you've swept the maingame!
LOSE A TURN: Marylou
DUD AFTER BELL: L (Jeff)
FINAL SCORES
NO BANKRUPTS!
BONUS ROUND
LETTER PICKED: first E
RSTLNE gives Marylou the ending:
MCDO equals goodbye total clean sweep. BUNKER, BUTLER, BENDER, BARBER and BANNER are all wrong. That was a ZIPPER and no Piano for her.
MARYLOU'S FINAL TOTAL: $26,750 (all cash)
Here's some fun fact about the hosts: same blood type, both married Italians on New Year's Eve, each two young kids of same age (boy and girl), and they both have tonsils.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Marylou showed to be a fierce competitor...until the Bonus Round stumped her. Also, I miss those days where we had multiple $6K Final Spins in one week. 7/10
$159,810 given away this week.
