S6, EPISODE #1046
Airdate: December 1988
This is the first taped episode that Xmas week.
Look at this studio, filled with fabulous prizes, including...
And now, these females will wreak havoc on the show's $178K+ budget:
Karen Morris: Aurora, IL (near Chicago). Former bilingual schoolteacher who's married to Jeff with a 3.5-year-old daughter (Elizabeth Ann). Enjoys aerobics and bowling.
Dawn Gillam: Savannah, GA (but has family from Florida, North Carolina, Kentucky, Turkey, Missouri and Spain (?)). Bridal/wedding consultant who has a party rental center and entertained movie stars (and Bush Sr. most recently).
Ginger Haskel: Cincinnati, OH. Psychologist/managment consultant who plays tennis and does some volunteering and theater work.
Some cheap cardboard mistletoe decorates the board.
Ginger solves FRECKLE-FACED KID.
DUDS: N (Dawn), T (Ginger), G (Dawn), M (Ginger), P (Dawn)
LOSE A TURN: Karen
BANKRUPT: Karen
ROUND 2 PRIZE: mulit-colored Fine CHINA ($3,800)
Karen IDs LOUIS GOSSETT JR.
DUDS: N (Dawn), M (Ginger)
Dawn reads off 4 of Santa's reindeer. Remember that this show is run by adults.
DUD: L (Karen)
LOSE A TURN: Ginger
ROUND 4 PRIZE: a $5,800 Van Cleef and Arpels GC, which could be used to purchase a RING that has gold hearts on a diamond background
Dawn will certainly take a VACTION WITH PAY, especially when that solve will take her to Bonus Land.
DUDS: D (Dawn), E (Ginger), S (Karen)
BANKRUPT: Karen
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: $9,450
BANKRUPT TRASH: $1,300
BONUS ROUND
Once Dawn got her shoes back on, we see that the Prizes she could win are...
Baldwin Piano ($31,500)
Timeshare Lake Tahoe Vacation Home
The his/her cars
earclips/diamond ring
$25,000
PRIZE CHOSEN: the cars
RSTLNE gives some good help:
CHDA gives a couple more...
"I know it," Dawn says. STOP AT NOTHING gives her those cars! Her hubby of 29 years (can't decipher the name) joins her.
DAWN'S FINAL TOTAL: $37,970 ($6,450 plus those cars)
Yes, the set is decorative...
OVERALL THOUGHTS: The late R3 dud was probably the only bad part here. Otherwise, this is one of those games where a single $5,000 letter can determine the outcome of who wins this one. 7/10
