So far, we're off to a slow start this season giving away just $59,160 cash and prizes. But I'm confident that we'll have a nice winning streak going.
EPISODE #5268 - VENETIAN WEEK (LAS VEGAS)
$1,000 Tossup - PHRASE
W _ _ T / _ R _
_ H _ / O _ D S ?
Young asks that burning question "WHAT ARE THE ODDS?" to get on the board. The midweek edition features these players...
Young Paik: learning management consultant and marathon runner (ran seven times so far) from Peabody, MA
Rhonda Rumer: Department of Children & Family Services supervisor from Henderson, NV (originally from Irvington, IL)
Justine Eales: makeup artist for weddings & photo shoots from Irvine, CA
$2,000 Tossup - MOVIE TITLE
T H E / _ A R A _ E
_ I _
This movie stars Ralph Macchio in the original version (1984) and Jackie Chan in this year's remake, and Rhonda solves "THE KARATE KID".
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: a $5,000 Ripa de Monti gift certificate (that place is located in the Venetian)
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the debut of a BRAND NEW CATEGORY!
Jackpot Round - SAME LETTER
All words in the solution start with the same letter, of course.
Rhonda and Justine BANKRUPT back-to-back to start this round. Next, Young picks up the Ricardo Luggage gift tag with five T's. After some work, he misses with an N. Rhonda then BANKRUPTS again. A little later, Justine hits her second BANKRUPT of the round as well and forfeits $650. Next, Young picks up the Wild Card with an R. Towards the end, he picks up the $5K certificate with two P's. The board now reads...
T I P T O E
T H R O U G H
