Airdate: March 14, 2003

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! It's the Last of Lap of Luxury...

If our last few puzzles this week are making you hungry, here's some Toss-Up money to spend on something.

$1,000 Toss-Up

ON THE MAP

Go!

ON THE MAP

Chad solves KEY WEST FLORIDA.

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
$1,000

Last (but not least) of the lovers of our Lap of Luxury:
Chad Saul: Marketing consultant, also expecting a child; from Los Angeles, CA (by way of Pittsburgh...or Pittsburg?)
Mary Ann Bullard: Coffee shop manager (Who'd say "Hello, how are you? What would you like to drink?", what Pat hears when he's coming to tape), from Richmond, VA
Kay Axtrom: In the Air Force for 25 years and counting, and her husband is in the Air Force and currently in Kuwait; from Vancouver, WA

"How are you? Would you like to play a Toss-Up with us?"

$2,000 Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Chad guesses ALL OR NOTHING.

Kay instantly rings in with MIDDLE...and realizes her mistake.

PHRASE

Mary Ann solves DOUBLE OR NOTHING.

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
$1,000	$2,000

It's all or nothing when you aim for the middle of the $10,000 space! Unfortunately, we can't double the value for this occasion.

Round 1

CLASSIC TV

Chad	MARY ANN	Kay
	$300: S (x2) $500: T (DUD!)	$450: N $10,000!: R (x2) -$250: E (x5) BANKRUPT! ($10,200)
	$600
$300: G (x2) $300: F (x2) Solve: Wrong!
$1,200

CLASSIC TV

Chad guesses GEORGE & WEESIE JEFFERSON. It sounds like he spelled "Weezy" wrong.

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
	$600
	$400: J $300: L Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,200	$1,300

CLASSIC TV

Mary Ann solves GEORGE & LOUISE JEFFERSON.

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
$1,000	$3,300

Kay would like to recover from an unlucky spin. She could try and pick up something else, like an Eddia of Beverly Hills shopping spree (labeled LUXURY) worth $3,500.

If only we could double the starting value of our Jackpot just for today. Remember those Fridays?

Round 2

BEFORE & AFTER

Chad	Mary Ann	KAY
		Jackpot: L Free Spin: T (x3) $800: H $300: T (Repeat) (Free Spin used) $300: D $800: W -$250: O (x3) $600: V $900: G (x2) Lose A Turn!
		$4,050
$300: S $300: N (x3) Solve: Correct!
$1,200

Kay accidentally calls D immediately after turning in her Free Spin token, and she is held to that call on her $300 spin.

BEFORE & AFTER

Chad solves I'VE GOT THE WORLD ON A STRING BEAN.

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
$2,200	$3,300

How do you feel about both those Mystery Wedges? One of them might backstab you with a BANKRUPT underneath it. The other is nice, and it will show you a Bloomingdale's gift certificate worth $10,000.

Round 3

THING

CHAD	Mary Ann	Kay
Gift Tag: T BANKRUPT! ($1,000)	$300: R (x3) $300: H (x2) -$250: E (x4) $450: N (DUD!)	$400: F (x2) Lose A Turn! (She tries to call B.)
	$1,250	$800
$300: S Lose A Turn!	$800: D (x2) $600: B (x2) $3,500: K $900: G (DUD!)	$450: M Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$300	$7,550	$1,250

Chad hilariously pouts as he hands his Gift Tag to Pat following his BANKRUPT spin. That didn't take long.

THING

Kay solves THE AROMA OF FRESH BAKED BREAD.

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
$2,200	$3,300	$1,250

Grab those devices before this Toss-Up goes stale!

$3,000 Toss-Up

PEOPLE

Go!

PEOPLE

Chad guesses WINDOW-SHOPPERS...and he's in the lead!

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
$5,200	$3,300	$1,250

A nice deep breath, a look at the $5,000 space on the Wheel, and he'll begin.

Round 4

AROUND THE HOUSE

CHAD	Mary Ann	Kay
Lose A Turn!

DING DING! DING DING!

Oops! Sorry if we scared the breath out of you, but now's the time for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.

Mary Ann: S (x3) ($4,800)
Kay: N ($1,600)
Chad: T (DUD!)
Mary Ann: H (DUD!)
Kay: R ($3,200)
Chad: P (DUD!)
Mary Ann: G (x2) ($8,000)

AROUND THE HOUSE

Mary Ann solves SLIDING GLASS DOOR and slides to victory! "Is this cool, or what?"

Chad	Mary Ann	Kay
$5,200	$11,300	$1,250

BONUS ROUND:

Now, this is cool! Mary Ann takes the trip to Bonus Land, and this is our last chance this week to give away a car or cash up to $100,000!

She has her boyfriend in the audience!

It's quite cool that she gets to spin a Bonus Wheel, but where will she land? On the 1's digit! We'll see what's inside after we're done with this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

PLACE

RSTLNE gives her:

PLACE

She thinks CDPA will do something here.

PLACE

She says RACK and ROOF, then DADDY'S RACK, DAD'S RACK, DOC'S RACK, and DOC'S ROAD. She does not solve BABY'S ROOM...

...and we must put the $30,000 back in its crib. Mary Ann finishes with $11,300 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna remember talking about tapioca pudding yesterday, and it's like rice inside...but it really isn't! That's rice pudding, and tapioca pudding is "a granular preparation of cassava starch". You can put down that pen and paper now.
