Airdate: April 1, 2002

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Let's get comfortable during Arctic- I mean Southern Hospitality Week!

Buzzing in will cost you a thousand bucks today.

$1,000 Toss-Up

THINGS

Go!

THINGS

Kristin solves HAM AND EGGS. "And you thought it'd be tough."

Fred	Diana	Kristin
		$1,000

Nah, we can't charge these three any money:
Kristin Edelhauser: Junior at University of San Diego working in broadcasting, and she dreams of becoming a broadcast journalist; she also works at USC TV at school, and she produces her own stories
Fred Lipscomb: Works at the University of California Irvine, and he does tennis, track, and unicycle riding, and rides Siberian huskies and talks on the phone at the same time; he also took 650 students to a "Semester at Sea"; from Aliso Viejo
Diana Tombs: Kindergarten teacher with a job that's a lot like Vanna White's, as she points to letters of the alphabet all day (as opposed to working with Pat all day); from Lewisville, TX

As long as you had your breakfast, these Toss-Ups should be a piece of cake!

$2,000 Toss-Up

RHYME TIME

Go!

RHYME TIME

Fred solves QUICK PICK. "Woo!"

Fred	Diana	Kristin
$2,000		$1,000

Maybe it's April Fools, but Pat thinks Fred's carrying a living thing in his pants. Speaking of living thing...

Round 1

LIVING THING

FRED	Diana	Kristin
$350: N $300: S (DUD!)	$500: T $300: R Gift Tag: L (x2) -$250: E (x4) -$250: O $700: D (DUD!)	$900: G $300: C (DUD!)
$350	$300	$900
$600: W (x3) Solve: Correct!
$2,150

LIVING THING

Fred solves WEEPING WILLOW TREE.

Fred	Diana	Kristin
$4,150		$1,000

The visual of a big tree in his pants is just too much. Let's move to the next round and visualize a trip to the North Carolina Azalea festival in Wilmington including a stay at the Hilton Riverside (labeled SOUTHERN) worth $3,280.

You remember what the fireworks look like when someone wins the Jackpot, don't you?

Round 2

PHRASE

Fred	DIANA	Kristin
	$800: T (x3) $800: H (x2) -$250: E -$250: I (x2) $800: R $800: N $400: S (x2) -$250: A (x2) -$250: O $700: G (x2) $500: L (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$8,600

PHRASE

Perfection! Diana solves YOU SAY ALL THE RIGHT THINGS.

Fred	Diana	Kristin
$4,150	$8,600	$1,000

If the Wheel had "all the right things", the $10,000 space would be a full-sized space.

Round 3

BEFORE & AFTER

The fourth blank on the third row is a little slow to reveal.

Fred	Diana	KRISTIN
		$800: R (x2) -$250: E (x2) $800: S (DUD!)
		$2,150
$300: S (Repeat)	$800: N (x2) $800: L -$250: A (x5) $400: W -$250: I (x2) $700: B $500: C -$250: O $600: F $900: D (DUD!)	$550: M Solve: Correct!
	$3,850	$2,700

BEFORE & AFTER

Kristin solves LAWRENCE OF ARABIA.

Fred	Diana	Kristin
$4,150	$8,600	$3,700

Grab those safety buzzers so you don't get electrocuted during this Toss-Up!

$3,000 Toss-Up

EVENT

Go!

EVENT

Diana solves LATE-BREAKING NEWS.

Fred	Diana	Kristin
$4,150	$11,600	$3,700

It's just a normal day at our studio, made more exciting with the addition of a $5,000 space.

Round 4

OCCUPATION

Fred	DIANA	Kristin
	$300: T (x2) $5,000: N -$250: E (x6) -$250: I (x3) -$250: A (DUD!)	$600: L (DUD!)
	$4,850
$400: M (DUD!)	$550: R SOUTHERN: S $400: D $450: P $900: V (x2)
	$8,050+

OCCUPATION

DING DING! DING DING!

We interrupt this round to report on Pat giving the Wheel a Final Spin. We learn that consonants will be worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.

Diana: C (x2) ($11,250+)

OCCUPATION

Diana solves EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT for the money, the trip, and the win!

Fred	Diana	Kristin
$4,150	$26,130	$3,700

BONUS ROUND:

Is Diana worried about any pranks in Bonus Land on this "special" day? At least the prizes are really good! We've got:

"The cash" ($25,000)

One of three cars (modeled all at once by Vanna)

And we wouldn't joke about this! ($100,000!)

Diana does ask how many $100K envelopes are on the Wheel, and Pat confirms it's one. After she spins, will it be under the purple space? Right now, let's worry about what's hidden on the puzzle board.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

DMPO gives her the right vowel.

PHRASE

She says DON'T LOOK, DON'T FOOL, and DON'T TOOK. Pat says her class is too nice that she doesn't have to say DON'T GOOF OFF...

...but we goofed in our efforts to give her the $25,000. Diana still has a nice total of $26,130 in cash and trip.

In the post-game chat, Pat talks about catastrophe at Vanna's house. Her freezer died, and everything in it is now melted/defrosted! She had about 10 pints of ice cream! She pulled them out, thinking they'd be safe, but they were all liquid. Why does she have 10 pints? Because she never knows what flavor she's going to like, so she has a combination of all kinds. "You think life is tough?"
