October 13, 2005 recap

Airdate: October 13, 2005

Before we begin, we are greeted by Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals.

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Live Like A Star week!

We've done our daily update of the puzzleboard, and we can now begin our first Toss-Up.


Go!


Pat solves FLY ME TO THE MOON.


Getting ready for liftoff:
Pat Baumann (female): Retired school librarian, from Cranford, NJ
Chris Kuharski: Store manager of the largest pharmacy retailer in the United States, from Altmont Almont, MI
Leslie Beakman: Recent graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo planning to apply to dental school and then become a cosmetic dentist, from San Jose, CA



Go!


Leslie solves OUT AND ABOUT.








(Sort of) Perfection! Leslie solves DEPARTMENT STORE DRESSING ROOM for lots of cash! She also gets the Gift Tag.

---

Our host had better not need to stop and reset the Wheel with the Jackpot space there, or some accidental fireworks could cause the Wheel itself to explode.





Perfection! Pat solves BEAUTIFUL NATURAL SURROUNDINGS for even more cash, plus we'll add a holiday at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies worth $7,132!

---

If Chris wants to follow all that, he'll have to find the Mystery Wedge hiding a $10,000 cash prize!




Leslie solves THE BLACK HILLS OF SOUTH DAKOTA.

---

Go!


Leslie solves VANILLA LATTE.


We cashed in with the first two Big Money wedges, and we can do it again with the $5,000 space this time!





Chris reads what's on the board for the house minimum.

---

DING DING! DING DING!

And whether it really is better depends on the result of Pat giving the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Pat starts.

Pat: S (x3) ($4,800)
Chris: T ($1,600)
Leslie: R ($1,600)
Pat: N (x2) ($8,000)

Chris solves FIBERGLASS INSULATION for a better total.
