November 28, 2003 recap

Airdate: November 28, 2003

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! One more day on the California Coast before we sail away.

We're expecting someone to solve this Toss-Up before that last letter docks at the puzzleboard.


Go!


Sara rings in too early, so she simply answers WINNIE THE POOH.


Shanika solves SINBAD THE SAILOR.


One last trio docks at our stage:
Shanika Verette: Works for a major telecommunications company, and collecting Hot Wheels toys for her 20-month-old son (obviously for later in his life); from Brooklyn, NY
Sara Sprock: Preschool teacher and newlywed, from Fenton, MO
Jon Olsen: Sells medical devices that save lives, and he's also an actor who does voiceover work, even hosting a new TV show in Oregon; from Portland (originally from South Dakota)



Go!


Shanika solves GUMBALL MACHINE.


We caution you not to blow bubbles in front of the $10,000 space.




Shanika solves SWEET'N LOW TIDE to keep the cash and Gift Tag.

---

Perfection! Sara solves IS THAT ALL THERE IS TO IT?.

---

A 50/50 gamble is really all there is to the Mystery Round. Hope you don't find a BANKRUPT and instead that you'll find an Amazon gift certificate worth $10,000.





Sara solves LIVE WITH REGIS AND KELLY.

---

Go!


Jon solves CATCHING A FRISBEE.


He's finally caught some of that money. Now to try and catch that $5,000 space!




Shanika solves THE BUCK STOPS HERE.

---

We held off as long as we could, but it finally happened. Pat now has to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.

Sara: T ($2,900)
Jon: N ($1,300)
Shanika: A (x2)
Sara: I ($2,900)
Jon: P ($2,600)


Jon solves OPEN-AIR MARKET.







BONUS ROUND:

It's like finding a winning black gumball out of a gumball machine. A car or cash would be nice for Shanika, but what she'd really love is the $100,000.



RSTLNE gives her:


WHCI includes an odd choice, but it's actually helpful.
