Opener
Since the NFL season is wrapping up, here's a few NFL-themed recaps for you to enjoy.
EPISODE #2632: NFL PLAYERS WEEK
Airdate: 1/21/97
This is the final week ever to use the classic contestant backdrops.
Tuesday has female civilians:
Tami Fulvi & Andre Hastings: Tami's from Imperial, PA while Andre's from the Pittsburgh Steelers
Michelle Lebeau & Dennis Byrd: Michelle's from NYC while Dennis' from the NY Jets
Jill Sudak-Allison & Chris Zorich: Jill's originally from Chicago while Chris' from the Chicago Bears.
JUST FOR THE RECORD, Andre makes the first solve tonight.
DUDS: A (Tami/Andre), W (Jill/Chris)
DQ: A repeat from Michelle/Dennis
Tami's married to Jason with a 20-month-old daughter (Sydney). Andre, the wide receiver, is playing for Forest Park Recreational Football back in Atlanta.
PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: Panasonic 51" giant projection TV (marked BIG SCREEN), $2,500
The jump to the BANKRUPT spin looked pretty odd to me.
Michelle solves THE ARTIST FORMERLY KNOWN AS PRINCE to keep the TV.
DUDS: G (Michelle/Dennis), D (Jill/Chris)
BANKRUPT: Tami/Andre
Michelle's an attorney and a Jets fan. Dennis was with the Jets for about 4 years and used to be paralyzed (but gotten a lot better). He also coached Owasso HS football Rams for the last 2 years and is playing for the charity named after himself (focuses on children with various disabilities).
JACKPOT ROUND
Michelle IDs LEGENDARY COACH VINCE LOMBARDI.
DUDS: T (Jill/Chris), S (Tami/Andre)
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $9,600
Chris, the defensive tackle, is playing for a foundation named after himself in honor of his mom who passed away. Jill now lives in Des Moines and is married to Michael (in audience) with a 2.5-year-old son (David).
Unfortunately, all of the sponsor plugs and charity promotions took away some gameplay time. Pat spins $600 a consonant.
Tami quickly solves TICKET BOOTH.
DUDS: R (Tami/Andre), S (Michelle/Dennis)
FINAL SCORES
Reminder that all football stars leave with at least $5,000.
WINNINGS SO FAR (NON-CHARITY): $18,250
BANKRUPT TRASH: $1,800
BONUS ROUND
LETTER PICKED (Michelle): W (for win)
RSTLNE gives the first two letters:
CDMA gives a couple more...
Dennis is overboard with SEABOARD and Michelle didn't do any better with SEAWIND. It was SEAFOOD and no Chevy Tahoe for Michelle.
FINAL TOTAL FOR MICHELLE/DENNIS: $13,250 ($10,750 and the big screen for Michelle; eligible for Friday Final)
The End
OVERALL THOUGHTS: This episode unfortunately showcases some of the problems these types of weeks have regarding limited gameplay time. Not a bad episode, though. 6/10
