Tonight's episode is the final show for
the Resorts Week on Wheel of Fortune. As usual, we have three new
contestants who are eager to pit their will and good luck against the
wheel and hopefully come out a winner. The first Toss Up puzzle of
the night, worth a nice $1000 dollars, and gives the contestants an
equal shot at solving the puzzle. During a Toss Up puzzle, random
letters are placed in the puzzle until a contestant is able to solve
that particular puzzle. Three contestants, three guesses, none of
them were right! The 'What Are You Doing' puzzle stumped them til the
last, and won out.
During the “Get to know the
contestants,” Fawn Lock was first up. Hailing from Henderson,
Nevada; she is a market manager for a top hotel and tour resort.
Michael Morris is from Pembroke Pines, Florida, and is a middle
school guidance counselor. Brittany McGuire, our third and final
contestant, is a substitute teacher from Humble (pronounced Umble)
Texas. She hopes to be a full time art teacher next year.
The next Toss Up puzzle was a Food and
Drink category, and the first person to score the cash was, Brittany.
The Quiche Lorraine answer wasn't a match for out substitute teacher!
This allowed Brittany to secure the first spin on the spin round
which came up after an announcement from Jim. The wheel was getting a
nice prize package from Sandals Resorts, which was worth, $6700
dollars.
Brittany landed right away on a ½ Car
piece and was able to secure it, at least temporarily, with the
letter T, for this The 80's, puzzle. Brittany was on a roll with this
puzzle until the Lose A Turn took all her momentum. Fawn was up next,
and passed the game right on to Michael with the guess of an S, of
which there weren't any. This also made her miss out on that Sandals
vacation that had been added to the board. Michael was doing
fantastically, even landing on the coveted Million Dollar prize.
However, sometimes, choosing to spin instead of solving the puzzle
can prove disastrous. Which it did in Michael’s case, landing him
on a Bankrupt. Brittany was able to collect a little cash and a Wild
Card; before solving the puzzle with, Hungry Like The Wolf By Duran
Duran.
The next spin puzzle was a Before and
After. Fawn was the first one to spin for this puzzle. Guessing the
letter T on an $800 dollar piece it looked as if Fawn was going to
make a go of it, until the Bankrupt caught her by surprise! Micheal
took the next spin, only to lose it with the sneaky, Lose A Turn game
piece. Brittany was doing well, buying vowels left and right, until
the nasty Bankrupt sneaked up again, which cost her the ½ Car piece
and the Wild Card. Fawn's next turn ended quickly with a Lose A Turn
spin, and Micheal was able to win a little cash, a $1000 gift card to
Maui Jim, and solve the puzzle. The Before and After puzzle read:
Social Butterfly Collection.
The next puzzle, a Phrase, was also a
prize puzzle. The prize, a fabulous trip to the Bahamas, was
sponsored by Sandals Resorts. Michael got the ball rolling with the
letter T. On his next spin he landed on the the $1,000 Express,
guessing the letter D; he decided to try for the Express “Train”
and see how much money he could win. Michael was doing well, until he
guessed the letter S, and it cost him a Bankrupt in the end. Brittany
was able to take advantage of Michael's misfortune, and spin her way
to solving the puzzle, gaining some cash and getting the ½ Car
piece. The puzzle answer read: Pinch Me I Think I'm Dreaming.
Brittany was also able to secure that great trip from the prize
puzzle along with $2750 to add to her total.
The third and final Toss Up was all
about Living Things, and Fawn, was eager to solve this puzzle with,
Baby's Breath.The Final Spin bell dinged when the last puzzle
appeared. A Thing category, consonants were worth $1900 dollars. Fawn
and Michael were both able to score some cash on the deal, until
Brittany solved the puzzle with Lifetime Guarantees. Her $5700 added
to her previous total made her the Wheel of Fortune winner for
today's show. Going into the bonus round, Brittanie had a nice
$20,599 dollars to her name. The Phrase puzzle started with the usual
R, S, T, L, N, and E letters, adding M, B, P, and I to the stack from
Brittany. However, the puzzle, with neither words starting letter was
a difficult one and proved to be more than Brittany could handle.
Downright Hilarious, was anything but funny to Brittany, who
forfeited a EOS Convertible. However, she did seem extremely happy
about her nice stash of cash!
