April 28, 2004 recap

Airdate: April 28, 2004

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

We always make sure our contestants are presentable for Vanna and her puzzleboard.


Go!


Nick solves ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH.


They're staring at Vanna's beautiful teeth, aren't they?
Nick Waithianathan: Computer systems engineering major in freshman year, from Tempe, AZ
Adi Meseka: Student at Moorpark College studying to be a psychologist and have her own practice, and tried to get on the show several times; from Agoura Hills, CA (originally from Israel)

Someone could solve this Toss-Up for either a lifetime supply of toothpaste or the cash equivalent, depending on how much toothpaste costs these days...


Go!


Nick guesses DEBBIE MESSING, then he kicks himself over it.


Adi solves DEBRA MESSING. "Nick obviously knows her better than we do."


And now Adi could be the one to clean those ugly stains off that $10,000 space.




Adi solves KINGDOM OF MOROCCO.

We could've toyed with the idea of a Mystery Round years ago. It's not that hard. It's just one wedge that's a BANKRUPT and another that's a prize, which today will be an HSN.com gift certificate worth $10,000.





Adi solves PUTTING YOUR MAIL SERVICE ON HOLD. And hold on there, because it's a Prize Puzzle, and we've got to give her a trip to Aruba and stay at Renaissance Aruba Beach Resort & Casino worth $4,000!

Go!


Nick solves TWEED JACKET.


He's still feeling competitive as we start another round.


DING DING! DING DING!

And spinning may resume, but only for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.

Nick: S ($1,600)
Adi: T (x2) ($3,200)
Jackie: L (DUD!)
Nick: N (x2) ($4,800) (He tries to ask for an A.)
Adi: K ($4,800)
Jackie: G ($1,600)
