Airdate: April 28, 2006

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! That will be enough Ultimate Adventures for the week.

We don't mean to trouble our players, but it's time for the first Toss-Up puzzle.

$1,000 Toss-Up

ON THE MENU

Go!

ON THE MENU

Baninder solves BONELESS BUFFALO WINGS.

Baninder	Ron	Twila
$1,000

Flying higher than a buffalo:
Baninder Gumer: Primary school teacher by day, college instructor at night; from East Brunswick, NJ
Ron Asbel: Semi-retired payroll tax accountant, also a storyteller who's taking up fishing; from Chillicothe, IL
Twila Masashi: Mother of two with a third on the way, from Loganville, GA

Meanwhile, another Toss-Up puzzle is on the way!

$2,000 Toss-Up

PLACE

Go!

PLACE

Ron solves LAS VEGAS SHOWROOM.

Baninder	Ron	Twila
$1,000	$2,000

He solved a Vegas puzzle, but we'll have to see if he's really a gambler. He could take that extra spin just for a $10,000 prize.

Or he could just take that extra spin for a Wheel prize. We end the week with an Earth River Expeditions rafting adventure in Patagonia, Chile (labeled CHILE) worth $9,900.

Round 1

FUN & GAMES

Baninder	RON	Twila
	$2,500: T $2,500: N -$250: E (x2) -$250: I (x3) $600: G $300: S (x2) $600: K (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$6,900

FUN & GAMES

Perfection! Ron solves SKIING THE ROCKIES. Pat thinks about how we'll be in Denver next week.

Baninder	Ron	Twila
$1,000	$8,900

Twila is finally off the ski lift, and she'll be doing the Jackpot trail first.

But before that, Pat tells us how his old striped tie was doing that "wavy thing", so he throws it away. He has a new tie, but no time to put it on.

Round 2

IN THE KITCHEN

* PRIZE PUZZLE! *

Baninder	Ron	TWILA
		Free Spin: T (DUD!)

$400: R $3,500: S (x3!) -$250: E (x4) $500: M (x2) Solve: Correct!
$11,650

IN THE KITCHEN

Baninder solves HOME ESPRESSO MACHINE, and she has enough cash to order espressos all around on an Insight Vacations tour of Italy including Rome, Venice, and Florence, worth $8,300.

Baninder	Ron	Twila
$20,950	$8,900

Pat puts on his new tie after the break. He feels like a complete man again.

A big day already, but it can get even bigger if Baninder is willing to flip over a Mystery Wedge to look for a $10,000 cash prize.

Round 3

BEFORE & AFTER

BANINDER	Ron	Twila
$900: T (x2) $800: H (x2) $600: R -$250: E (x3) $300: M (DUD!)	$600: N (DUD!)	$3,500: S -$250: A $400: P -$250: O BANKRUPT! ($3,400)
$3,750
$300: L (x2) Solve: Correct!
$4,350

BEFORE & AFTER

Baninder solves SHELF LIFE OF THE PARTY for the house minimum.

Baninder	Ron	Twila
$25,300	$8,900

Our next Toss-Up has a shelf life of about 30 seconds, but more likely less than that.

$3,000 Toss-Up

THINGS

Go!

THINGS

Ron solves FRIENDLY FACES.

Baninder	Ron	Twila
$25,300	$11,900

But this game is far from expiration, so Ron will have time to land on a fresh $5,000 space.

Round 4

PHRASE

Twila solves YOU DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN.

Baninder	Ron	Twila

She can do it again, as we've got another round coming!

Round 6

PERSON

BANINDER	Ron	Twila
$500: T $450: H
$950

PERSON

DING DING! DING DING!

Can she solve this right now? The answer is no, because she must wait for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.

Baninder: S (DUD!)
Ron: M (DUD!)
Twila: R (DUD!)
Baninder: N (x2) ($4,150)
Ron: F ($1,600)

PERSON

Ron guesses ONE OF THE MANY. He says ONE OF THE again before a buzzout.

Twila: G (x2) ($3,200)

Only vowels left!

PERSON

Twila solves ONE OF THE GANG.

Baninder	Ron	Twila
$35,850	$11,900	$4,350

BONUS ROUND:

She's already one of the many to play our Bonus Round, but can she join the few who have solved the puzzle? If so, we'll give her a car or some cash up to $100,000!

She has her mom in the audience!

Only one of many spaces on the Bonus Wheel will be hers. Baninder spins the U in BONUS, and only one of many puzzles will make it to the puzzle board.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

She makes just a few picks of MDAC.

THING

She says MARBLE ARCH, and she does not solve BUBBLE WRAP...

...and what could've been just as fun ends up as a big disappointment. She even got an early peak. After a strong day, guess what popped up...

$100,000.

Way to kill the party. Baninder leaves with $35,850 in cash and prizes.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna are happy to hit the road for Denver! There will be a Mom & Me week, a College Week...and possibly even a Yodelling Week.
