Airdate: February 7, 2002

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Island Fever Week!

Hold your applause! We need silence for this Toss-Up...except from the players, obviously.

$1,000 Toss-Up

PLACE

Go!

PLACE

Linda solves THE FRONT ROW.

Linda	Jeanine	Ben
$1,000

Better than front-row seats, why not play our game?
Linda Schumacher: Attorney who does estate planning and probates, from Chula Vista, CA
Jeanine Drexler: Housewife (but likes to think of herself as a "domestic goddess"), from Jacksonville, FL
Ben Shields: Lighting technicians, also selling housewares, and also waiting tables; from Studio City, CA

Linda also has a deal with her husband that if she wins big money, her husband will wear an autographed photo of Pat around his neck every day for a week. Pat's not sure what he's rooting for.

He can at least root for any of the contestants to solve this Toss-Up.

$2,000 Toss-Up

THING

Go!

THING

Jeanine solves T-BONE STEAK.

Linda	Jeanine	Ben
$1,000	$2,000

How many T-bone steaks can she get with the money she spins from this Wheel?

Round 1

PHRASE

Linda	JEANINE	Ben
	$300: N $600: D (DUD!)	$500: R $500: S (x2) -$250: I (x4) $300: T $500: H (x2) $500: L (DUD!)
	$300	$2,550
$550: W -$250: E (x3) BANKRUPT! ($300)	$600: C $400: M Only vowels left! Solve: Wrong!
	$1,300

PHRASE

Jeanine solves THIS IS WHERE I COME IN, and this is- wait. That's not correct?

Linda	Jeanine	BEN
		$2,550
		-$250: A Solve: Correct!
	$1,300	$2,300

PHRASE

You cannot be serious. Well, Ben reads what's on the board, and at least he's on the board now.

(Seriously, Jeanine's guess was better.)

Linda	Jeanine	Ben
$1,000	$2,000	$2,300

Well, this was the part where Charlie came in, and the contestants gave it their best efforts to win a holiday at The Westin Resort Saint John (labeled VIRGIN) worth $5,797.

And then the Jackpot space came in, maybe to help Jeanine redeem herself from a 50/50 shot in the last round.

Round 2

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Linda	Jeanine	BEN
		$450: R (x6) -$250: O -$250: U (x2) $450: P (DUD!)
		$2,200
$300: S (x3) -$250: A (x4) $550: T (x4) BANKRUPT! ($2,850)	$300: W Gift Tag: N (DUD!)	$300: H (x3) Lose A Turn!
	$300	$3,100
$800: B $600: G Solve: Correct!
$1,400

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Linda solves STAR WARS BROUGHT US THE CHARACTER R#-D#. It's another weird looking puzzle, but as long as she fills in the numbers, Linda can take $3,000 more!

Of course! Each number is a 2.

Linda	Jeanine	Ben
$5,400	$2,000	$2,300

Not from a planet far away, but how about a galaxy? Who in this one would've approved what surrounds the one-third $10,000 space?

Round 3

BEFORE & AFTER

LINDA	Jeanine	Ben
$10,000!: T (DUD!)	$600: N $300: R (DUD!)	$300: S $700: L (x3) -$250: E (x4) -$250: A -$250: O (x3) $450: E VIRGIN: V $800: G (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$600	$3,700+

BEFORE & AFTER

Ben solves POISON IVY LEAGUE COLLEGE for the trip.

Linda	Jeanine	Ben
$5,400	$2,000	$11,797

Pat accidentally says $11,793 for Ben's total.

We wouldn't rub poison ivy all over those Toss-Up devices...but maybe we'd rub the treatment on it.

$3,000 Toss-Up

EVENT

Go!

EVENT

Linda solves A SHORT VISIT.

Linda	Jeanine	Ben
$8,400	$2,000	$11,797

She's got time for at least one short visit from the $5,000 space.

Round 4

PROPER NAME

LINDA	Jeanine	Ben
$450: S (DUD!)	$300: D (DUD!)	$500: R -$250: E $500: C Gift Tag: K $900: B (DUD!)
		$750+

PROPER NAME

DING DING! DING DING!

Visiting time is over, except for Pat whose visit with the Wheel involves a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece.

Linda: T (DUD!)
Jeanine: L (DUD!)
Ben: J ($2,250+)

PROPER NAME

Ben solves MICK JAGGER. He thought the J was in the first name.

Linda	Jeanine	Ben
$8,400	$2,000	$15,047

BONUS ROUND:

Better the J be there than in our bonus puzzle. He needs something easy so he win a car or the cash. If he solves a tough puzzle, he deserves the $100,000!

He'll spend a short visit with the Bonus Wheel, and after his spin lands on the B in BONUS, he'll pay a visit to the puzzle board.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives him:

PHRASE

He might get something with CDFU.

PHRASE

He says DON'T PRAY. DON'T BRAT, and DON'T BRICK. He does not solve DON'T BRAG...

...which means he can't brag about winning $25,000. Ben leaves with $15,047 in cash and prizes.

After a clip of the Wheelmobile, Pat admits it's a nice vehicle. Vanna says it goes around the country and looks for contestants. Pat has a recurring nightmare that he'll be run over by the Wheelmobile.
