From the George R. Brown Center in Houston, it's America's game! Welcome to College Week!
Today's greats:
Joe Bob Thompson: Freshman in Rice University majoring in business, from Dangerfield
Courtney Scott: Junior in University of Florida majoring in management and minoring in mass communication and economics, from Lake Mary, FL
Alvaro Rios: Sophomore in Houston Community College majoring in communications, also served in the military
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Be brave, and try not to cave, as we begin our first round:
(The Surprise wedge is placed on the wrong $400.)
No further to go, so Courtney reads what's there.
Like Surprise, a different prize wants to stand out. We have a Rand McNally gift certificate (labeled GALLERIA) worth $3,000.
Now returning are the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces. These numbers will add up nicely, and speaking of...
(Sort of) Perfection! Courtney solves DIRECTOR RON HOWARD'S ACCLAIMED FILM APOLLO ##. She reeled in the money, but it will be quite the hit if she fills in the number. (Oddly, the chimes do not sound.)
Lucky her? She identifies the number 13.
Will Courtney, or will somebody else soar higher? They could hit the $3,500 or Jackpot space in this round:
Joe Bob solves CARD & MULTIPLICATION TABLE.
Time is money too, thus Pat needs to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$5,000 a piece! Could Joe Bob win the big game?
Joe Bob: T (x3!) ($15,000)
Courtney: N (DUD!)
Alvaro: S (DUD!)
Joe Bob: R (DUD!)
Courtney: C (DUD!)
Alvaro: L (x3!) ($15,000)
Joe Bob: M ($20,000)
Joe Bob is stuck on IT TOTALLY BLEW MY guesses...
Courtney: B ($5,000)
Courtney says IT TOTALLY BLEW MY, then stops.
Alvaro: W (x2) ($25,000)
Alvaro appropriately solves IT TOTALLY BLEW ME AWAY for his "only" $25,000. Pat takes off his jacket to calm down Alvaro.
BONUS ROUND:
Alvaro can continue his example over here in Bonus Land.
It could come from what's hidden in the W. Does this puzzle agree?
RSTLNE gives him...
Not quite in the excitement from before, but he goes with DMCO:
He does not solve BIOLOGY...
...and he's disappointed that he couldn't claim the convertible. But the $25,000 should make him feel better...as he's coming back tomorrow!
