December 5, 2003 recap

Airdate: December 5, 2003

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Say goodbye to the Rich & Famous after today.

And say goodbye to this Toss-Up after this very minute.


Go!


Dianne solves MADE FROM SCRATCH.


Final famous faces of the week:
Dianne Winstead: Grade 1 teacher, from Goodlettsville, TN
Chris Boyer: Graphic designer and a church minister, from St. Louis, MO




Go!


Kasia solves RUBIK'S CUBE.


We now realize that hitting a tiny $10,000 space shouldn't be such a big deal after all.





Chris solves HEATED MATTRESS PAD to keep the gift tag.

---

We could let Pat rest on a comfy mattress for a minute as Charlie talks about our prize: a Forever Resorts Lake Mead houseboat vacation (labeled HOUSEBOAT) worth $5,495.

---

Some things are puzzling around here, but the Mystery Round is simply about luck. That's what will decide if you find the BANKRUPT or if you find a Diners Club International credit card valued at $10,000.




Major Perfection! Chris solves CANNED LUNCHEON MEAT OR ANNOYING EMAILS. He can buy plenty of that luncheon meat already, but we'll still offer a $3,000 bonus for answering the clue.

---

Go!


Chris solves READY FREDDY.


He's ready for Bonus Land now, but we still won't let him ignore that $5,000 space on the Wheel.




Double Perfection! Chris solves TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY to keep the trip.

---

DING DING! DING DING!

But we're also running out of time, and Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $800 + $1,000 for $1,800 a piece. Kasia starts.

Kasia: T ($1,800) (And an early guess of EARTHWORM.)
Dianne: R (DUD!)
Chris: H (x2) ($3,600)
Kasia: S (x2) ($5,400)
Dianne: C (DUD!)
Chris: S (Repeat)
Kasia: N ($7,200)
Dianne: G ($1,800)
Chris: E (x3) ($3,600)
Kasia: L ($9,000)


Kasia guesses SHETLAND SHEEPDOG ...and she's right!







BONUS ROUND:





RSTLNE gives him:


CDMA should be good enough today.
