February 15, 2005 recap

Airdate: February 15, 2005

From the Las Vegas Hilton, it's America's game!

This could be the start of another good night, and as usual, it starts with a Toss-Up.


Go!


Kathleen guesses YOUR FACE IN LIGHTS.


Elaine solves YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS.


You will know their names:
Elaine Kelly: Mother of two, from South Dartmouth, MA
Nate Nevado: Graduate from San Francisco State University hoping to be a counselor in a community college, from Pacifica, CA
Kathleen Miller: Staff Sergeant in the Air Force, from Las Vegas



Go!


Nate solves DUBLIN IRELAND.






Kathleen solves OCEAN'S ELEVEN & OCEAN'S TWELVE.

---

There's some lights behind our players, so let's stare at those while someone here adds a trip to Mazatlán and stay at Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay (labeled MEXICO) worth $5,739.





Nate says ENCHANTING CRYSTAL VILLAGES.



Kathleen solves ENCHANTING COASTAL VILLAGES (though crystal villages would also be enchanting). Naturally, it's gotta be a Prize Puzzle, and she's also taking a Pousadas de Portugal Hotel Group holiday in Lisbon with $1,000 spending cash worth $5,000.

---

It was Irish luck then, but it's Vegas odds in our Mystery Round. Our players must take a guess which wedge is a BANKRUPT and which one's a Honda Civic worth $14,360.




Nate solves POKER FACE ONLY A MOTHER COULD LOVE.

---

Go!


Kathleen solves FETTUCCINE ALFREDO.


And it's a Wheel that only she can spin. Put another puzzle on the board!


DING DING! DING DING!

Correction - a Wheel only Pat can spin. This will be the Final Spin, and consonants will be worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! That's why only he can spin it.

Kathleen: N (x2) ($12,000)
Elaine: M ($6,000)
Nate: T (DUD!)
Kathleen: S ($18,000)
Elaine: R ($12,000)
Nate: D (x2) ($12,000)
Kathleen: C (x2) ($23,000)


Kathleen says COMEDIAN DON RUCKLES, and the audience gasps.


Elaine solves COMEDIAN DON RICKLES to go from zero to hero!







BONUS ROUND:





RSTLNE gives her:


CDMA seems like it should work here.
