Airdate: March 30, 2005
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Surfin' Safari week!
The sun rises for our first Toss-Up puzzle. Don't stare at it too long, or it may burn your skin.
Go!
Lisa solves THE BIG KAHUNA.
Striving for dominance today:
Lisa Koffman: Senior at UC San Diego studying communications, also a Texas Holdem player; from Hacienda Heights, CA
Susan Markov: Decision support analyst for a hospital system, from Pawtucket, RI
Allen Taylor: Computer manager for the Air Force, serving for 19 years and counting; from Henderson, NV
Go!
Allen guesses WEIGHT LIFT.
Susan solves WAITING LIST.
She's now at the top of the list. She can remain at the top with the $10,000 prize and possibly even wait it out until the Bonus Round.
Allen solves PAN-FRIED NOODLES WITH BEEF. It might not be the last laugh, but he did solve the Prize Puzzle, so he gets a NWA World Vacations holiday in Hong Kong with $1,000 spending cash worth $8,220.
(Sort of) Perfection! Allen solves NO MORE MR. NICE GUY. We can tell he's done playing nice.
And don't expect the Mystery Wedges to play nice with us. There's a chance you'll flip over a BANKRUPT, but there's an equal chance you'll find a Scion XA worth $13,973.
Susan solves SHE'LL BE COMIN' 'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN DEW.
Go!
Lisa solves ANCHORAGE ALASKA. She promptly hangs her Toss-Up buzzer improperly, and Pat has to make sure it works.
She's had enough of a cooldown. She's back in the game, and the $5,000 space is also back!
DING DING! DING DING!
If it feels like the slowest few seconds of your life...it was. So slow that Pat now has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece!
Susan: M (DUD!)
Allen: R (x4!) ($24,000)
Lisa: L (x2) ($12,000)
Lisa solves JACK RUSSELL TERRIER, and look what she did!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CHMA are all in the puzzle.
