March 11, 2005 recap

Airdate: March 11, 2005

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wave goodbye to the Caribbean.

Wave hello to Vanna and your first Toss-Up puzzle.


Go!


Bill solves THE BLUE LAGOON.


The creatures at a Wheel that ain't black:
Bill Johnson: Executive director of the Arkansas Lighthouse for the Blind, from Little Rock
Lanell Samaniego: Controller, and she's the youngest of 21 (yes, 21 children; that's 18 girls and 3 boys); from Banning, CA
Lynnette Perez: Loan processor, from Bellingham, WA



Go!


Lynnette rings in with silence.


Bill solves BELLY FLOP. Painful, but the alternative is an unsolved Toss-Up.


He's too big to do a belly flop on our one-third $10,000 space.




Bill solves THE STARBUCKS ON THE CORNER.

---

Instead of a Prize Puzzle, how about a prize wedge at every spot on the Wheel? Makes it easy enough to win a holiday at Sans Souci Resort & Spa in Jamaica (labeled CARIBBEAN) worth $6,500.

---

Please wait before throwing any stones at our Mystery Wedges. Right now, you can't be sure which one's the BANKRUPT and which one's a Chevrolet Aveo worth $10,000.





Lynnette solves FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE YOUR CALL MAY BE MONITORED.

---

Go!


Lynnette solves THE GOBI DESERT.


They are now connected to our next puzzle.


DING DING! DING DING!

They could not be connected to our Wheel, because Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece. Lynnette starts.

Lynnette: R (DUD!)
Bill: T ($1,500)
Lanell: S ($1,500)
Lynnette: M (DUD!)
Bill: N (x2) ($4,500)
Lanell: C (x2) ($4,500)


Lanell says LICENSED BEAUTICIAN.

Lynnette: L ($1,500)
Bill: M (DUD!)
Lanell: E (x3) ($4,500)
Lynnette: D (x2) ($4,500)

Lynnette solves LICENSED DIETICIAN and ate just enough for the win!

MCDO lights up a great consonant.
