Chad draws A FINE LINE.
$10,000 Round: Title[/u]
Chad's first spin is $350 for the T's. Next he hits $2,500 for the H, but Bankrupts the remaining $2,950 on the edge of the $10,000 Wedge.
Off to Charles, who calls a dud N. Ginger goes for the R's and A, but hits Lose a Turn. Back to Chad now, who finds yet another common dud in S. Charles puts up the M and L.
T H E / M A T R _ _
R E L _ A _ E _
He then solves THE MATRIX RELOADED for $1,400.
Bankrupt: Chad ($2,950)
Lose a Turn: Ginger
Dud: N (Charles), S (Chad)
Prize: Montelago Village in Las Vegas, $7,600
Jackpot Round: On the Menu[/u]
Charles starts us off with S, R, E, T, A, H. He then hits the Jackpot and calls F, but it's not enough yet, so he keeps going until he Bankrupts $5,100 away.
Ginger takes the Wheel and calls C, B, L…
F R E S H / F R U I T
C O B B L E R / W I T H
_ A N I L L A
I C E / C R E A M
…With $4,050, she solves FRESH FRUIT COBBLER WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM.
Left behind in Jackpot: $11,100
Bankrupt: Charles ($5,100)
Chad: $3,000
Charles: $1,400
Ginger: $4,050

Mystery Prize: Toyota Echo, $13,245
Mystery Round: Headline[/u]
Ginger is first, getting the Las Vegas trip with N, then an R on $800. Next, she buys a whopping nine E's and one U.
_ U E E N
E L I _ A _ E T _
C E L E _ R A T E S
_ I L E S T _ N E
With $4,000 and her trip, she solves QUEEN ELIZABETH CELEBRATES MILESTONE. Pat then asks whether the Headline refers to the 40th, 50th, or 60th anniversary of her coronation, and her guess of 50th is…
…
… correct for another three grand!
PERFECT ROUND![/color]
Chad: $3,000
Charles: $1,400
Ginger: $18,650

$3,000 Toss-Up: People[/u]
_ T _ _ C T
V E G _ T _ _ I A _ S
Chad says STRICT VEGETARIANS to sweep the Toss-Ups.
Round 4: Phrase[/u]
T, S and O are Chad's first letters, but N stops him. Charles goes with R, but the Final Spin bells ring with the puzzle looking like this:
T _ _ R _ ' S / _ O R _
T O / _ O _ _
$1,500 is the value of the Final Spin.
After four duds in a row, Chad calls M but still can't figure it out. Charles then goes for the E's…
T H _ R _ ' S / M O R E
T O / _ O M E
…and knows that THERE'S MORE TO COME, but unfortunately not for him, since he's in third place.
Duds before Speed-Up: N (Chad)
Duds during Speed-Up: K (Ginger), L (Chad), F (Charles), D (Ginger)
Chad: $6,000
Charles: $4,700
Ginger: $18,650
====
$100,000 Bonus Round[/u]
Ginger lands on the O in BONUS. The puzzle is a Phrase:
L _ _ _ / _ _ T _
_ _ _ S
H, D, C, A give her…
L _ _ _ / _ _ T H
_ A _ S
…not much help. She can't figure out that she's supposed to LOOK BOTH WAYS (she got stuck on WITH), so she loses the Nissan 350Z.
And the next thing on the tape is an episode of The Angry Beavers, so allow me the nostalgia rush.
