S40, EPISODE #7723: AMERICA'S GAME III
Airdate: 2/1/23
Setting: Winter Hideaway (Jan. 2-6)
Go!
Liam pinpoints THE SPACE NEEDLE in Seattle
First contestants of February:
Liam Oakes: Andover, NJ. Communications manager for a nonprofit who's very single and has played this game in his bathtub (when he was little, he would take the foam letters and would place them on the bath tiles; he would stand in front of it and pretend he was Vanna White).
Emily Volpert: Portland, OR. Big plant person (she has almost 100 plants in her apartment) who's making the backyard of the duplex a pollinator-friendly habitat with the Audubon Society. Also, her dad lives in the upstairs apartment.
Kelsey Mead: Mankato, MN. Master certified life coach, podcaster (it's related to her other jobs) and clinical hypnotherapist who has two daughters.
Go!
Kelsey quickly gets A CAMEO APPEARANCE (you'd be lucky someone didn't blow it with two letters remaining this time).
WHEEL PRIZE: the $9K+ collette vacation to Portugal
Emily solves CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY.
MYSTERY ROUND
$10,000 SPONSOR: Magnilife
Apparently, $3,500 is Emily's favorite wedge.
Liam reads what's on the board.
It's A LIFELONG DREAM OF MINE to get on this show and Liam's off to the BAHAMAS (Atlantis Paradise Island; $8,000).
PREVAGEN MEMORY (4/30/13): Brandon Straka guesses MAKING DOGGIES in the end of a nigh-impossible BR (the actual answer was WAVING GOODBYE)
TRIPLE TOSS-UP
Go!
Kelsey's the one COLLECTING COUPONS.
Go!
Kelsey's also PENNY PINCHING...
Go!
Liam was SPLURGING on vowels the previous round and he prevents the sweep.
We've had some PEAKS AND VALLEYS regarding the current decade of this show and Emily takes another solve.
DING DING! DING DING!
FINAL SPIN: $1,550
Liam solves CARTOONIST.
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: $28,850
Here's Liam's category list...
PHRASE
THINGS
FOOD & DRINK
$100,000 BONUS ROUND
CAR: Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring ($46,945)
Liam actually brought somebody! His brother (Ethan) and mom (Pam) are in the sidelines.
SPACE SPUN: &
RSTLNE offers Liam a decent head start:
PCDA gives him a few more letters...
Liam's able to take A SLICE OF HONEYDEW, so he's won another $40,000!
LIAM’S FINAL TOTAL: $56,900 ($48,900 and the Bahamas trip)
Pat jokes that the bonus puzzle was his nickname in high school. Vanna typically likes all melons.
