Airdate: March 6, 2002

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Desert Oasis Week!

We'll all be fine as long as this Toss-Up doesn't leave you feeling dry.

$1,000 Toss-Up

ON THE MAP

Go!

ON THE MAP

Diane solves THE AMAZON RIVER.

Teresa	Ray	Diane
		$1,000

Our midweek travelers:

Diane Clinton: Nurse for a national health care company, from Gulf Breeze, FL
Teresa Castilaw: Family school coordinator, from Murrells Inlet, SC
Ray Chester: In the Air Force as a communications officer, and just returned from Turkey; from Yukon, OK

Pat was about to talk to Vanna about something during Teresa's interview...but she disappeared, and so did the Toss-Up puzzle. Vanna's not doing a puzzle right now, and Pat thinks she's selling something on QVC.

If we don't get another Toss-Up on the board, Pat's head will explode!

$2,000 Toss-Up

RHYME TIME

Go!

RHYME TIME

Diane was about to say IT'S TOOTY, but she just saw that it won't work.

RHYME TIME

Teresa solves IT'S HOTSY-TOTSY. Either way, Pat likes it. "I think we're pretty much reaching the end of our Rhyme Time, aren't we?"

Teresa	Ray	Diane
$2,000		$1,000

Pat will also enjoy watching Teresa spin some Big Money on that Wheel.

Round 1

BEFORE & AFTER

TERESA	Ray	Diane
$400: T (DUD!)	$400: M $800: N -$250: I (x3) -$250: A (x3) $300: R (x2) $2,500: F (DUD!)	$600: L (x2) -$250: E (x2) $300: D (DUD!)
	$1,300	$950
$300: P Lose A Turn!	Lose A Turn!	$400: C $800: K $550: J Solve: Correct!
$300	$1,300	$2,150

BEFORE & AFTER

Diane reads what's on the board.

Teresa	Ray	Diane
$2,000		$3,150

We can't even dare Charlie to describe this prize as "hotsy-totsy", but that won't stop us from giving away a set of Minolta cameras and binoculars (labeled ELECTRONICS) worth $2,516.

We'll be in a real pickle if we can't give away the Jackpot at our main studio.

Round 2

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Teresa	RAY	Diane
	$400: R (x2) $900: S (x2) -$250: A (x5) -$250: I (x3) $500: T $300: H (x2) -$250: I (x4) $800: W $800: L -$250: O $800: N (x2) BANKRUPT! ($5,900)	$300: D Solve: Wrong!
		$300

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Diane guesses THERE ARE # MAIN ISLANDS ON HAWAII.

Teresa	Ray	Diane
		$300
$3,500: M Solve: Correct!
$3,500

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Teresa solves THERE ARE # MAIN ISLANDS OF HAWAII. A good final spin of the round, and an extra $3,000 will go to Teresa if she fills in the number!

She's not sure, so she guesses 3. The number is 8. Pat names Hawaii, Oahu, Lanai, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, Brunei- actually, that last one is not Hawaiian. He also doesn't have time for the other two.

Teresa	Ray	Diane
$5,500		$3,150

Time is money on our show, so we'll forget about Hawaii, and you can try to win a holiday at the L'Auberge de Sedona Lodge in Arizona (labeled ARIZONA) worth $4,145.

But if Pat did name all the islands, we would've thought about flipping the $10,000 prize face up for this round. Only a thought.

Round 3

SAME NAME

Teresa	Ray	DIANE
		BANKRUPT/$10K! ($0)

$500: N (DUD!)	ARIZONA: R $300: T (x2) -$250: A (DUD!)	$800: S -$250: E (x2) Lose A Turn!
	$350+	$550

	$2,400

SAME NAME

Ray solves MIGHTY & COMPUTER MOUSE, and Wheel trouble never hangs around.

Teresa	Ray	Diane
$5,500	$2,400	$3,150

But what about Toss-Up trouble? This puzzle might have other ideas.

$3,000 Toss-Up

Teresa	Ray	Diane

Round 4

THINGS

DING DING! DING DING!

But to no surprise with how we've been playing, Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Teresa starts.

Teresa: S (x2) ($3,200)
Ray: R ($1,600)
Diane: T (x2) ($3,200)
Teresa: L (DUD!)
Ray: I (x3) ($1,600)
Diane: N ($4,800)
Teresa: P (DUD!)
Ray: C (DUD!)
Diane: M (DUD!)
Teresa: G (DUD!)
Ray: A ($1,600)

THINGS

Ray solves TRIVIA QUESTIONS.

Teresa	Ray	Diane
$8,500	$4,000	$3,150

BONUS ROUND:

Here, you don't have to think like a Jeopardy! player. For Teresa, she just has to play our Bonus Round and win one of these prizes:

"The cash" ($25,000)
Toyota Tacoma (over $19,000)
Dodge Durango 4x2 (over $24,000)
Mazda Miata convertible roadster (over $25,000)
Can she say "Bingo"? ($100,000!)

All this will have to wait until Teresa spins the Bonus Wheel. After she lands on the purple space, she needs to solve a puzzle...

Bonus Puzzle

PERSON

RSTLNE gives her:

PERSON

HCDA can only fill in an obvious word.

PERSON

She says THE SINNER, THE SPINSTER, and THE SWINDLER. Pat mentions Gilligan's Island after time runs out, and only then does she figure out THE SKIPPER. If that show had been the category name...

...then Teresa would be driving home in a Mazda Miata. She's leaving with $8,500 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat knows he gave Vanna some heat about disappearing between rounds, but she actually goes backstage for important stuff! She shows us a card that had the answer to the bonus puzzle with a mock-up of the board so she knows where to stand! Pat tries to imitate Vanna on the mock-up with his finger, but Vanna does a better job with two fingers as legs, and Pat has the idea. He then tries to finish with a "dance".

We also go backwards through the puzzles to the $3,000 Toss-Up, and then we're out of time.
