October 11, 2001 recap

Airdate: October 11, 2001

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Safari Adventure Week!

A Toss-Up is wide open for you:

Go!

Harriet guesses PUNCHO HIGH SCHOOL.

Laura solves JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.


Today's adventurers:
Laura Mulvey: Junior at University of North Texas studying journalism, Grand Prairie, TX
Harriet Ambro Snowden: Married, is a customer care representative, Oklahoma City, OK (born in Ghana)
Frank Bello: Medical records clerk, Newark, CA

Regain some of that energy with another Toss-Up:

Go!

Harriet solves LEG OF LAMB.


And now you should be ready! Round 1 begins:


Harriet solves VIRGINIA BEACH VIRGINIA.


We look through some stuff and add this prize to the Wheel: a trip to Rio De Janiero and stay at Windsor Palace Hotel (labeled BRAZIL) worth $4,800.

The Jackpot is ready to leap towards you, but are you ready?


Laura solves PAUL MCCARTNEY ANNOUNCES ENGAGEMENT.


This prize seems attracted to us, so we'll add it to the Wheel. It's a Triumph Thunderbird motorcycle (labeled BIKE) worth $8,995.

Understand the attractions involving the $10,000 prize, and you could win it:


Harriet solves I THINK YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING.


Wild things can happen. How will this Toss-Up turn out?

Go!

Harriet solves TOUCH-TONE PHONE.


We carefully place the $5,000 space so as not to disturb too much...


Harriet solves SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMERS.


Making good time, we head into another round.


For Laura's two spins, it is shown landing on the purple $600, but her spin patterns suggest it actually landed on the red $600. As a proper name, a "null" cycle was unlikely.

Laura solves BETTY BOOP.


And we really do have time for another puzzle!

DING DING! DING DING!

But now that we're being rushed, Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Laura starts:

Laura: S ($1,600)
Harriet: N ($1,600)
Frank: T (DUD!)
Laura: C (DUD!)
Harriet: G (DUD!)
Frank: R ($1,600)
Laura: L (DUD!)
Harriet: P ($3,200)
Frank: D ($3,200)
Laura: Y (DUD!)
Harriet: M (DUD!)
Frank: F (DUD!)
Laura: K (DUD!)
Harriet: E ($4,800)
Frank: H (DUD!)
Laura: V (DUD!)
Harriet: A (DUD!)
Frank: B (DUD!)
Laura: W (x3) ($6,400)

Laura solves POWER WINDOWS.


Nine puzzles, but no successful rounds for Frank; ouch. In all the action, he's left with the nice parting gifts.





BONUS ROUND:

Harriet can try to win more in Bonus Land.

She takes the W from the envelope holder. This is her final puzzle:

RSTLNE gives her...

Harriet will go for GIPC:

She can't wait! She immediately solves FLY-FISHING...

...and $25,000 is hers! She leaves with an all-cash total of $47,150!
