November 2, 2004 recap

Airdate: November 2, 2004

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game!

Try to catch this Toss-Up:

Go!

Jonathan solves POTATO SACK RACE.


Today's contestants:
Jonathan Quello: Recently graduated at Pepperdine University, moving to France to teach English, is from Tigard, OR
Nanette Bub: Married, is a substitute teacher (started a "super sub" rumor), Voorheesville, NY
Victoria Sulla: Married, is an accountant for a high-end residential cabinet shop, Redwood City, CA

That bag of mysteries has another Toss-Up:

Go!

Nanette solves THE GO-TO GUY.


And we go to her for Round 1, where we also have that one-third $10,000 space:


Jonathan solves A STANDING INVITATION.


We invite this prize over: a trip to Washington, D.C. and stay at Fairmont (labeled TRIP) worth $5,960.

How about a standing ovation for the Jackpot wedge?


Victoria solves LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE.


You find two Mystery Wedges on the Wheel. Do you (A) pretend it's nothing, or (B) flip one over? You will find a BANKRUPT, or a PriceGrabber shopping spree worth $10,000.


Nanette solves THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA DINNER PLATES.


This is still a close game, but will it remain that way after this Toss-Up:

Go!

Jonathan solves CACTUS GARDEN.


And Pat confirms that we still have time for spinning, so the $5,000 space could be his in this round:


DING DING! DING DING!

But did Pat read the fine print? It wasn't that much time, so he gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! Now it's definitely a close game. One consonant is all you need.

Jonathan: T (x3!) ($19,850)
Nanette: B ($6,000)
Victoria: F (x2) ($12,000)

Victoria guesses FRUITY ROOT BEER FLOAT. A nice idea, and a fit, but not the correct answer. She's a bit colder with FROTHY ROOT BEER FLOAT.

Jonathan: Y ($25,850)

Jonathan is correct with FROSTY ROOT BEER FLOAT!






BONUS ROUND:

How about (at least) $25,000 more? Maybe another prize from Bonus Land?
Volkswagen Jetta
BMW X3
A gigantic float ($25K-$50K)
An even bigger one ($100,000)

Now it's time for a real final spin. It's the O. He'll try this puzzle for size:

RSTLNE gives him...

He'll also try HCMA:

He does not solve UPSY-DAISY...

...So he can't add $25,000 more. But look who has that already! He has $32,300!

During the post-game, Pat and Vanna show outtakes of some Wheel theme bumpers.
