EPISODE #5543 - AMERICA'S GAME
Our next stop for this week is that "Wheel Loves NY" set.
$1,000 Tossup - ON THE MAP
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ S
_ H _ O
Matt quickly solves COLUMBUS, OHIO. Our next big money hopefuls are...
Matt Cox: systems engineer from Bowie, MD
Cassandra Baqir: IT analyst at a healthcare company who also has a black belt in martial arts from Peoria, AZ
Catalina Jacques: math teacher from Doral, FL (originally from Romania)
$2,000 Tossup - IN THE KITCHEN
_ _ _ A T O
M A _ _ _ _
Cassandra gets first control of the wheel w/ POTATO MASHER.
PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: once again, the $5K ally BANK bonus
Jackpot Round - MOVIE QUOTE
Cassandra misses w/ the R on her second spin. Catalina buys the only bad vowel of this puzzle (A). Matt starts his run w/ an H, but then repeats said dud vowel. Cassandra picks up the Wild Card w/ an F. A few letters later is a baddie in G. Catalina then lands on the blue 1/2 KIA, but she duplicates the H. After that, Matt fills in the L's and we have...
I F / Y O U
_ U I L D / I T
H E / _ I L L / _ O M E
He solves "IF YOU BUILD IT, HE WILL COME" (from "Field of Dreams") for $2,850.
(NOTE: A cycle of lost turns was edited out of this broadcast before we heard Pat say "There's no R, either; what's going on here?". Most of them were likely the common duds of N and S.)
(AIRED) DUDS: R (Cassandra), A (Catalina), G (Cassandra)
(AIRED) DQs: 2 (A and H repeats by Matt and Catalina, respectively)
UNCLAIMED JACKPOT: $10,150
Pre-Round 2 Scores
Cassandra: $2K
Catalina: $0
Matt: $3,850
========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Catalina starts w/ the letters spelling TEA, but then BANKRUPTS next to the usual WC location to lose $600. Secondly, Matt puts up three I's courtesy of FP and an H while on the Mystery Wedge between that and LAT. He's obviously going for it...and it's good! Soon enough, he faces the following...
R A _ I O / _ I T _
_ _ _ I _
H A L L
& / O A T E _
He solves RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL & OATES for $11,250!
BANKRUPT: Catalina ($600 loss next to the old WC spot)
Pre-Round 3 Scores
Cassandra: $2K + WC
Catalina: $0
Matt: $15,100
========
PRIZE PUZZLE Round - THINGS
Matt starts w/ $1K worth of S's, but then loses his turn w/ an E purchase. Cassandra BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side, so there goes her WC and $250. Later, Catalina gets nailed by her second BANKRUPT of the night (the other normal one) and loses $750. Matt then decides to get this round over with...
_ A _ _ / D A _ S / A N D
_ O O _ / N I _ _ T S
He'll spend some WARM DAYS AND COOL NIGHTS at the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe in PUNTA CANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC worth $6,360. With another $750 in his pockets, he's won $7,110 that round.

========
$3,000 Tossup - PLACE

Before Matt can visit a HISTORIC LANDMARK, he moves up to $25,210 w/ that correct solve.
Round 4 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Matt starts w/ the obvious -ING ending before saying a negative vowel in A. Much later, the board says...
C R O S S I N G / M _
_ I N G E R S
I'm CROSSING MY FINGERS for Catalina to finally break through...she does w/ $2,350.
DUDS: A (Matt), L (Cassandra)

FINAL SCORES

========
$100,000 Bonus Round
Matt lands on that E in GAME, which was where the big one was exactly one week ago.
Category: EVENT
This fairly big puzzle starts out as...
_ L _ _ _ - T _ E
_ _ _ _ _ R
I think he knows it already! B, F, C and A give him...
B L A C _ - T _ E
A F F A _ R
He easily remembers his BLACK-TIE AFFAIR! Let's hope we finally have a grand prize winner tonight...
...nope, it's that $30K. But he's still going away with $55,210 cash and DR!
