EPISODE #5004 - SEAWORLD ADVENTURE (ORLANDO)
$1,000 Tossup - THINGS
F I _ _ / &
F L I _ P E _ S
Tracy's off by two letters w/ FISH & FLIPPERS, allowing Eric to get FINS & FLIPPERS. Let's go down the line in our interviewing...
Eric Soderstrom: editor of a golf magazine's website from Orlando
Tracy Powers: Florida International University student (she's studying social work and pursuing her Master's) who also works for a recruiting firm in Hollywood, FL from North Miami Beach (originally from NJ)
Melissa Rivera: college student majoring in occupational therapy from Orlando (originally from Boston)
$2,000 Tossup - RHYME TIME
_ / B L A _ _ / F R _ M
_ _ E / P _ S T
Melissa knows that this show is A BLAST FROM THE PAST, so she's spinning first.
FEATURED PRIZE: trip to Whistler, BC worth $5,650
Round 1 - BEFORE AND AFTER
Melissa starts w/ a $300 T for the Free Spin. After buying a couple of vowels, she hits LAT and uses the FS...but she says F for failure. Eric's first spin yields nothing but BANKRUPT. Tracy's next w/ two R's for that Canada trip, but then comes a negative in N. Back to Melissa who says M as in MDW. Once she cleans out the vowels...
M A R _ O
_ O L O
S H I R T
...she puts on a MARCO POLO SHIRT for $1,100 and temporary possession of the MDW.
DUDS: F (Melissa), N (Tracy)

Jackpot Round - SHOW BIZ (PRIZE PUZZLE)

M U S I _ A L
