Finally decided to recap something from the 18th season. If you're wondering why I chose this one...it has to do with last night's episode.
S18, EPISODE #3509: GARAGE SALE
Airdate: 5/31/01
Go!
Lou IDs THE MAD HATTER (Lee said the answer first but didn't ring in).
The next-to-last contestants this season:
Lou Santini: Burbank (moved there from Cleveland 3.5 years ago). He DJs weddings, does custom home painting, stand-up comedy and just finished writing a book.
Lee Bowman: Los Angeles (orig. from St. Louis). He's currently making a backgammon board for the blind people and does some emcee work at the Junior Blind Veterans Administration.
Shundrekia Fry: Fort Worth. Marketing manager for a major railroad company who's married 6 years to Bernard with 2 dauhgters.
GIFT TAG: epicuren (skincare)
Lou rightly says I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. Pat notes that he has a similar outfit that he's wearing...and claims that they're doing a car dealer commercial in Cincinnati.
DUDS: S (Lou), A (Lee)
LOSE A TURN: Shundrekia
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: DirecTV subscription + Fischer soundstage 100W AV component home theater system w/ 27" stereo TV & 24-disc CD changer (marked ENTERTAINMENT), $2,500

If you're wondering, Pat did not change his clothes when Charlie was announcing.
Shundrekia IDs CENTRAL PARK IN NEW YORK CITY.

Shundrekia IDs LIVE WITH REGIS AND KELLY to keep the entertainment package.
DUDS: M (Lou), O (Shundrekia), F (Lou), B (Lee)

DING DING! DING DING!

Shundrekia's got A PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY.

LETTER PICKED (the H is gone): first E
RSTLNE gives a third:
YBCA almost completes the story...
Pat mistakenly said PHRASE is the category.
Looks like Shundrekia just won $25,000 from this BAKERY! Her hubby joins the celebration.
SHUNDREKIA'S FINAL TOTAL: $41,800 ($39,400 plus the entertainment package)
June's comping up! Vanna's planning to go to North Myrtle Beach (her hometown). Pat claims he's doing a talk show in his basement.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Given Lou wearing a similar outfit to Pat's, I really wanted him to win (had Shundrekia blanked out in R4, he would've very well advanced to Bonus Round). Shundrekia was a good player and based on her performance, it's a 7/10 from me. If the Jackpot or the $10,000 was won, this would've been higher.

Pat mistakenly said PHRASE is the category.
Looks like Shundrekia just won $25,000 from this BAKERY! Her hubby joins the celebration.
SHUNDREKIA'S FINAL TOTAL: $41,800 ($39,400 plus the entertainment package)
June's comping up! Vanna's planning to go to North Myrtle Beach (her hometown). Pat claims he's doing a talk show in his basement.
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Given Lou wearing a similar outfit to Pat's, I really wanted him to win (had Shundrekia blanked out in R4, he would've very well advanced to Bonus Round).
