November 7, 2002 recap

Airdate: November 7, 2002

From the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, it's America's game!

We get to the point with a Toss-Up:

Go!

Shawn solves RIGHT ON TARGET.


Today's players:
Shawn Kinoki: Major salon manager, from Seattle
Jeremy Humrick: Married, started a home renovation business, from Marysville
Brook Brethauer: Volunteer co-ordinator with low income seniors, also learning about marriage and family therapy, from Seattle

And definitely more than sharp enough to solve this Toss-Up:

Go!

Jeremy solves FOUR-SLICE TOASTER.


I prefer toast that looks like the $10,000 space. Not those Bankrupts that surround it. We'll do it right in Round 1:

Make that right away. Jeremy has already spun the Wheel and the blanks weren't even revealed yet!


Also right away, the "ding" does not sound on the T.

Brook solves A MUCH-NEEDED BOOST.


For a prize, we will point at this nice trip to Lake Tahoe and stay at Harrah's (labeled TAHOE) worth $3,600.

...and then we will point at the Jackpot space to see which can do better.


Jeremy solves THE PUGET SOUND OF MUSIC.


Are the contestants driven to this point yet? The Mystery Wedges return, with one BANKRUPT, and one Ford Focus ZX 3-door worth $14,610.


Lance solves LANCE ARMSTRONG WINS A FOURTH TOUR DE FRANCE.


Let's see if a Toss-Up can recover somebody from that wipeout:

Go!

Jeremy solves POPULAR SCIENCE.


Jeremy is building up slowly, and this round could help him.

DING DING! DING DING!

But it all depends on Pat as he gives the Wheel a Final Spin. He'll find consonants to be $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Jeremy begins:

Jeremy: N (x2) ($3,200)
Brook: T (x2) ($3,200)
Shawn: S (x2) ($3,200)
Jeremy: D ($4,800)

Jeremy solves ON-THE-SPOT DECISION.






BONUS ROUND:

Has Jeremy decided what type of prize he would want in Bonus Land? He has his wife and mother-in-law in the audience, but his decision was made in advance. He wants the $100,000.

He has given the Wheel a spin which stops on the U. The show has chosen a puzzle:

RSTLNE gives him...

Now with this, he will decide it's MDCO:

He does a few things with it, but cannot solve ROUGHING IT...

...meaning no $25,000 win tonight. He's still got a lot of money though, as he leaves with $13,000.
