November 4, 2002 recap

Airdate: November 4, 2002

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

A Toss-Up to start your morning:

Go!

Melissa solves WISH ME LUCK.


The first contestants of the tour:
Melissa Timms: Engaged, is an actress and playwright in local theater, also works for a law firm, from Shoreline
Ashley Jellison: Married, is a tobacco cessation counselor, husband is in a local rock band, from Seattle
Ryan Rantie: Received his bachelor of science in cell molecular biology with minor in quantitative science, wants to be a dentist, from Federal Way

Let's make sure this Toss-Up leaves the right taste in your mouth:

Go!

Melissa solves THE GREAT OUTDOORS.


The $10,000 needs to be kept fresh, although this is a rather unorthodox approach, isn't it?


Brad solves PEPPERMINT PATTY.


All of our prizes in mint condition, including this one, which is a trip to London and stay at Sofitel St. James (labeled LONDON) worth $5,300.

Seattle, it's time for a Jackpot space!


After the T, Brad was looking at the wrong arrow.

Melissa solves COMPUTER SOFTWARE ENGINEER.


Even on the road, we may bring a few mysteries with us. We have these two wedges. You could pick the BANKRUPT, or you could pick the Ford Focus ZX 3-door worth $14,610.



Ashley solves BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN & THE E STREET BAND to keep the car!



A good recovery for Ashley, but can she win more cash with that? We'll do another Toss-Up:

Go!

Melissa solves A RAINY DAY.


Good memories with the $5,000 space coming up...


DING DING! DING DING!

Time for that old emergency procedure from Pat known as the Final Spin. Consonants will be worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.

Ashley: E (x2) ($2,600)
Ryan: G (DUD!)
Melissa: R ($1,300)
Ashley: K (DUD!)
Ryan: P ($1,300)

I can't quite head what Ryan gave for the first word, but SPACE STATUS is not the other "name".

Melissa: D (DUD!)
Ashley: S (Repeat)
Ryan: N ($2,600)
Melissa: C ($2,600)

Then Melissa guesses CURE & SPACE STATION.

Ashley: D (Repeat)
Ryan: M (DUD!)
Melissa: W (DUD!)
Ashley: J (DUD!)
Ryan: L (DUD!)
Melissa: O ($2,600)
Ashley: Y (DUD!)
Ryan: F ($3,900)

Ashley's repeated D was not acknowledged as a duplication.

Ryan finally solves FIRE & SPACE STATION.






BONUS ROUND:

After that false alarm, Ashley has finally made it to Bonus Land!
Mercedes C230
Ford Expedition
Cash ($25K-$50K)
The big one...$100,000!

Ashley will be the first one here to spin the Wheel of gold. The envelope is in the green space. Her final puzzle awaits:

RSTLNE gives her...

Ashley's choices will be KBPO:

That one letter is the right one! She instantly solves HUSKIES...

...and it's another car! The Mercedes worth $28,400! She leaves with an impressive total of $43,610!
