Two Tickets to Paradise (Day 5)
We’re on the Vegas set for this episode (and NO, this is not in that city!), and this episode aired two days before my birthday! And according to Game Show Kingdom (2/17/2010), we’re on the verge of a PERFECT BONUS ROUND WEEK. Will it happen? Let’s find out...
Toss-Up 1: TV title
M _ / N _ M E
_ _ / _ _ _ L
Tim IDs the now-canceled NBC series “MY NAME IS EARL”. Potential perfectos...
Tim Kramer: A tax assessor who’s married with 4 kids and likes hockey, football, and snowmobiling (he claps, the audience claps); he’s from Waterford, MI
Mallory Jensen: A University of Texas-Austin student majoring in kinesiology and is hoping to go to physical therapy school; she once held someone’s intestines during surgery in the ER!
She’s from Plano, TX.
Glenda Andrews: An electrician who’s married with a son and daughter and likes to bowl; she’s from Chicago
Toss-Up 2: On the menu
S _ L _ T / P _ A
_ _ U P
Glenda eats up a SPLIT PEA SOUP to spin first
Paradise Vacation: A $5,544 Collette Vacation to Rio
$10,000 Round: Places (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Glenda picks up the TicketsNow.com gift tag with a T and $600 from two N’s. After buying 3 A’s, she lights up a $2,400 D quartet, but Bankrupts near $900 to give up $3,750 cash and tickets. Tim can’t find an R on $600, so Mallory finds two L’s on $800 and buys 3 E’s. After picking up the Rio trip with an S trio, she buys the same number of I’s...
_ I N D _ _
_ I D D L E
A N D / A I S L E
S E A T S
...and with $1,100, she can sit on some WINDOW, MIDDLE, AND AISLE SEATS on her flights to Rio...and PORTUGAL’S AZORES ISLANDS (that vacation is worth $5,250); she’s earned $11,894 cash and vacations that round!
Wrong Letter: R (Tim)
Bankrupt: Glenda
Glenda: $2,000 Toss-Up money
Tim: $1,000 TU bucks
Mallory: $11,894 cash and trips
Since some parts were cut out, the SPIN IDs are NOT shown, nor is the sponsor for the next round.
Jackpot Round: Before & after
Tim finds a $600 R, a $600 S pair, a $1,350 T trio, and a $1,050 C trio just like that. After buying an obvious U, he gets a $600 G up there...but painfully misses with an M on $400 (he leaves $3,950 just sitting there), as does Mallory with L on $800. Glenda picks up the 24 Hour Fitness gift tag with the last consonant of H...
R U S T _ C
C _ T T _ G E
C H _ _ S E
...and she’s not so confident, but she avoids eating up a piece of RUSTIC COTTAGE CHEESE for the gift tag. Should’ve bought vowels, Tim.
Wrong Letters: M (Tim), L (Mallory)
Unclaimed Jackpot: $8,550
Glenda: $3,000 cash and gym memberships
Tim: $1,000
Mallory: $11,894
Mystery Round: Song lyrics
Mallory gets off to a nice $3,200 start with 4 T’s and gets 2 N’s for another $1,100. After buying 3 E’s, she gets a $300 M up there (the second-to-last word is MEET) and purchases 2 O’s. Next up is a $900 R, 4 A’s, a $900 S, 3 I’s, and 2 U’s to clear out the vowels. She gets a $600 G up there and 2 L’s for $600 lit up. She then BARELY slips past Lose a Turn and lights up two Y’s for $600 and a W for $450...but calls a CRITICAL DUD in C on $700. Glenda lights up two P’s on the Mystery Wedge between $300 and $900...but doesn’t flip it over, believe it or not. She next chooses to solve the puzzle...
_ A P P Y / T R A I L S
T O / Y O U / U N T I L
W E / M E E T / A G A I N
She messes up a bit on the 5th word, but still gets the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans tune “HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN”. Pat flips the MW over...and she’s in shock, as the $10K was back there! Yikes!
As for Mallory, well...she kissed $7,400 goodbye due to her error.
Wrong Letter: C (Mallory)
Glenda: $5,000 (could’ve been $13,000 by now)
Tim: $1,000
Mallory: $11,894
Toss-Up 3: On the map
_ _ _ R _ M _ _ T _
It’s the capital of my home state of California, and Glenda knows it’s SACRAMENTO to go to eight large!
Round 4: Phrase (starting in S25, it could also be What are you doing?)
It’s a $1,600 Final Spin and it’s still anybody’s game.
Glenda - 2 N’s
Tim - 3 R’s
Mallory - 2 T’s
Glenda - 2 G’s
Tim - No S
Mallory - No P
Glenda - 1 F
Can Glenda solve to double her money for the win?
R _ _ T _ N G / F _ R
T _ _ / _ N _ _ R _ _ G
I’m afraid not.
Tim - No B
Mallory - No L (Pat - “Can someone solve sooner? I’m sick of this music!” LOL!!! :lol:)
Glenda - No C (null cycle left in)
Tim - 1 obvious H.
Can Tim get another $6,400 with this setup?
R _ _ T _ N G / F _ R
T H _ / _ N _ _ R _ _ G
NO. Mallory misses with M, so she very likely threw away another $3,200 and the win; ugh. Glenda lights up the last consonants of 2 D’s...
R _ _ T _ N G / F _ R
T H _ / _ N D _ R D _ G
...and how fitting for a lady like her - we were ROOTING FOR THE UNDERDOG (in this case, Glenda), and she gets this puzzle for another $11,200 and the come-from-behind victory!
Wrong Letters: S (Tim), P (Mallory), B (Tim), L (Mallory), C (Glenda), M (Mallory)
Glenda: $19,200 cash and gym memberships!
Tim: $1,000 Toss-Up money
Mallory: $11,894 cash and trips (all from R1)
IMO, Glenda’s opponents fizzled out after solving their only puzzles on the night.
Maingame Winnings: $32,094
Bankrupt Trash: $3,750 cash and tickets (all from R1)
Perfect Bonus Round Week Alert: Living thing
Looks like Glenda's non-MW risk brought her here. If she makes good history, she could win a Jeep Commander or an Audi A4 Convertible (Vanna plugs this vehicle from Las Vegas).
She brought her 2 kids and lands on the second 0 in $100,000.
It’s a compound word:
_ _ _ S E _ L _
Her picks of CDGA are all duds...but can she still get HOUSEFLY? ...
...YES, SHE CAN (and she solves this puzzle right when the timer started)!!! Not only do we have a PERFECT BR WEEK, she wins the Audi, worth $41,310! Her well-deserved final total: $60,510 cash and prizes! Thank you so much, Glenda!

And Glenda should've gone for that MW since she was way behind...
