December 19, 2001 recap

Airdate: December 19, 2001

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Great Outdoors Week!

We must prepare our little adventure with a Toss-Up:

Go!

Beckie solves WHAT A SURPRISE.


Today's travelers:
Beckie Moore: Recent UCSC graduate in literature/poetry, Santa Cruz, CA (originally Clarkston, MI)
Mike Colquitt: Bartender and has a girlfriend, Los Angeles, CA
Douglas Ross: Copy editor and wordsmith, worked for the White House press office, Los Angeles, CA (originally Annapolis, MD)

We must initiate our little adventure with another Toss-Up:

Go!

Mike solves A ROLL OF FILM.


Well, let's get some fresh air! Beginning with this first round:


Douglas solves THE LITTLE DRUMMER BOY.


If you're up for it, you may be interested in a High Sierra Sport Company travel gear collection (labeled TRAVEL) worth $3,000.

And since everyone has a little money, the Jackpot could mean even more. Can someone claim it?


Douglas solves AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF A NOVEL.


You may be a bit exhausted now...but we'll push anyway. Add a Snowmass Resort Village trip (labeled ASPEN) worth $4,200.

But everyone likes a little cash, so add a one-third $10,000 space too! Hope you're ready to speed through this round!


Douglas solves JENNIFER LOPEZ SAYS I DO.


Take a break with an extra Toss-Up:

Go!

Douglas continues his streak with MISTLETOE & HOLLY.


A $5,000 space brighter than the sun outside!


DING DING! DING DING!

This might not take too long. Pat must do a Final Spin, and remaining consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.

Mike: N ($1,300)

Mike incorrectly guesses THE CANYON COLD BEER.

Douglas: M (x2) ($2,600)

Douglas reads what's on the board to keep it up.






BONUS ROUND:

A number of prizes that may satisfy Douglas:
"The cash" ($25,000)
'02 Buick Rendezvous (over $33,000)
Volkswagen Passat GLX Sedan (over $30,000)
'02 Highlander 4x4 (over $35,000)
"The cash 2.0" ($100,000)

Douglas spins, just barely stopping on the left peg of the B. Could that be an indication of the end result...

RSTLNE gives him...

His choices PMHA are surprisingly helpful:

In shock, he instantly solves A HAPPY MEAL, and cannot believe that just happened. But can he believe it's...















$100,000!



LET OUT THE STREAMERS AND CONFETTI!!! IT'S NOT A MISTAKE; WE HAVE JUST MADE HISTORY!!!



Douglas leaves with a grand total of $113,800!
