October 15, 2003 recap

Airdate: October 15, 2003

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Great Northwest Week!

Our players stand up, because we kick things off with a Toss-Up!


Go!


David solves FERRYBOAT CAPTAIN.


Off the ferry and into our studio:
David Yu: Support engineer for a software company, from San Francisco, CA
Amira Camon: Co-owner of a multimedia company that she owns and runs, from San Diego, CA
Jodie Murray: Student at the University of Texas working on his bachelor science and nursing, formerly a diver in the Navy for 8 years; from Palestine, TX

And boarding...where else besides the puzzleboard? It's another Toss-Up!


Go!


Amira solves CHEESE GRATER. And being from Minnesota, she's grated a lot of it.


It's a shame that the $10,000 space was grated down to one third of the size that we really wanted.




David solves SIBERIAN HUSKY.

---

Pulling in our prize wedge for the day, we now add a trip to Victoria and stay at the Hotel Grand Pacific (labeled NORTHWEST) worth $3,700.

They were also able to bring in a Jackpot space without any extra trouble.




Jodie reads what's on the board. And to think, all that work/play from Amira could not pay off.

---

Do you feel like playing around with one of those Mystery Wedges? We have one space that hides a BANKRUPT and another that hides a Sony Style gift certificate worth $10,000.




Perfection! David solves WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS. More money will be pouring in, $3,000 more to be exact, if he knows whose slogan it is.

The right way to top a perfect round. It's Morton Salt. "And if you can tell me within 10 years of when that slogan was adopted, I'll give you a bottle of water." David skips that one. It's 1914.

---

The money just won't stop pouring in! How about some more from this next Toss-Up?


Go!


Jodie solves TACOMA WASHINGTON.


Thankfully, their council won't personally have to cover the winnings from a $5,000 spin. We'll take care of it.




David solves WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

---

Did you think we were serious about that? Nah, we have some time for another round.


DING DING! DING DING!

Just some time. Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $900 + $1,000 for $1,900 a piece. David starts.

David: T ($1,900)
Amira: N (DUD!)
Jodie: L ($1,900)
David: R (x4) ($9,500)
Amira: S (x3) ($5,700)
Jodie: P ($3,800)
David: C ($11,400)


David solves CLUSTER OF RASPBERRIES.

RSTLNE gives him:


CDGA gives him a few important letters...
