Desert Passage (Day 5)
This episode took place exactly 6 years before this recap.
Toss-Up 1: Fictional character
_ _ L E / E .
_ O Y _ T _
It's a Looney Tunes character, and Dave knows it's WILE E. COYOTE for $1,000! Wrapping up a fine week here are...
Dave Wolfe: He just graduated from Point Park Univ. (in Pittsburgh) w/ a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice; he also plays pro darts (and even shows his stance) and is from Oakdale, PA.
Cristi Winkler: She's an administrative assistant and former cosmetologist who likes to play the keyboard (like me) and sing; she works in youth ministries and was writing a book at the time (by typing); she has 2 sons (one had just moved out) and a granddaughter and is from West Bend, WI (near Milwaukee, she mentions).
Lindsey Bruner: She goes to the Univ. of San Diego w/ a major in marketing and a minor in biology; she owns a puppy named "Peagle" and he's a mixed Pekingese/beagle; she's from San Diego, of course.
Thanks to Cristi for providing this episode.

Cristi isn't sure...but w/ another $2,100 and the $10K wedge, she can enjoy the DRAMATIC COASTLINE of BERMUDA (worth $5,700, same value as the AZ trip)! That was a $17,800 round for her! Too bad I couldn't say this was big domination...

She brought her son Paul and brother Tony; she lands on the dollar sign in $100,000.

Chat: Pat/Vanna hate ketchup, but Pat's friend loves it.
