May 2, 2003 recap

Airdate: May 2, 2003

From the San Diego Convention Center, it's America's game!

After a break from the last show, we have measures in place so nothing breaks during this Toss-Up round.


Go!


Judy solves PERFORMING SEALS.


Our last Wheel performance of the week:
Judy Newland: Grade 3 teacher, from Chula Vista
Brendan Mayan: Naval officer who's served on both a guided missile destroyer and a frigate, also working on an MBA at UC Irvine; from San Diego
Myrna Merrifield: Operations supervisor for an investment management company, from Chula Vista



Go!


Brendan solves BROTHER-IN-LAW.








Brendan solves HIGH AND LOW TIDES.

---

Judy solves CHICAGO TAPS ITS WAY TO SIX OSCARS.

Pat thinks about how close Myrna's last spin came to $900, and he could just barely nudge the Wheel so that it clicked over. Wow.

---

Will the Mystery Round be the high or low point of your day? If you flip over a wedge, you could see a BANKRUPT, or you could see a 2003 Ford Focus worth $14,090.




Myrna solves COCONUT AND BANANA CREAM PIES. After a load of rotten luck with the Wheel, she needed some money.

---

Go!


Brendan solves TONY THE TIGER.


He only has a "lowercase g" great lead at this time, but he can widen it in our next round.



DING DING! DING DING!

It's a wonder why we still sound the bell after the puzzle reveal. Pat now gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Brendan begins.

Brendan: R (DUD!)
Myrna: T (x2) ($2,600)
Judy: H ($1,300)
Brendan: S (x2) ($2,600)


Brendan guesses THAT WAS A CLOSE GAME. He repeats the first line on the buzzer, but stops.

Myrna: C (x2) ($5,200)


Myrna solves THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL. Even if the called the L's, she still would've been short by $100.







BONUS ROUND:






RSTLNE gives him:


HGPO leaves Pat feeling awfully good about this.
