February 1, 2001 recap

Airdate: February 1, 2001

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to San Francisco Week!

We'll treat you to a Toss-Up:

Go!

Jim solves WELCOME BACK KOTTER.


Crossing the bridge today:
Jim Palmer: Human service administrator with non-profit serving homeless, and sells food-related "plastics", District Heights, MD
Heather Adams: Recently graduated from Texas A&M in 1999, works with the YMCA as a co-ordinator, Austin, TX
Richard Hutter: Freshman at Howard University, studying business management, Chicago, IL

Some contestants are in a hurry apparently, so let's get to spinning!


Jim solves NIAGARA FALLS.


Have we picked a prize yet? Well, here's a Nike sports package (labeled SPORTS) worth $2,500.

The Jackpot could raise your score in a hurry! Our next round begins:


Richard was briefly looking at the wrong arrow on his first spin.

Heather reads what's on the board for a bundle.


We could treat a contestant to a trip to Mazatlan and beach resort stay (labeled TRIP) worth $3,500.

So yellow has exactly $10,000, and the one-third $10,000 is gold. What could that mean in this round?


Richard's repeated N was not acknowledged as a duplication.

Heather solves PORTABLE DVD PLAYER.


Another Toss-Up is ready:

Go!

Heather guesses HAVE YOUR CAKE.

Jim solves MAKE YOUR MARK in time.


And if he has enough time, he can try and catch up with the $5,000 space.


DING DING! DING DING!

Now the contestants aren't the only ones rushed. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. He'll get you consonants worth $900 + $1,000 for $1,900 a piece.

Heather: R ($2,800)
Richard: S (x2) ($3,800)
Jim: C (x2) ($3,800)

(Richard tries to call an O immediately after calling the S.)

Jim solves ROCKET SCIENTIST.


A rough trail for Richard. He's stuck with the parting gifts, although he laughs as soon as they're called "nice".





BONUS ROUND:

What could Heather take away in Bonus Land?
Jeep Wrangler Sport (over $25,000)
BMW 325i (over $34,000)
Honda Prelude
Lexus RX300 (over $37,000)
"The cash" ($25,000)

Now after a brief look, it's the W envelope for Heather. Can she solve this last puzzle?

RSTLNE gives her...

Heather sneaks in PMDI:

She does not solve KEEP IT HUSH-HUSH...

...and silently, she loses grip of the BMW. She still leaves with $12,200.
