Tonight on America's Game-show, two
women and one man pit their good luck charms against the wheel to see
if they could come out the winner. The first Toss Up, worth $1000
dollars, went to Jay O'Neil from Glendale, Arkansas. One of his
opponents was Mandy Gray, from Omaha Nebraska. The other contestant
on tonight's show was, Melissa Logston, from St. Louis, Missouri.
The second Toss Up puzzle, a Thing
category worth $2000, sets the first person to go for the original
spin round. Jay was the quickest on the buzzer with the correct
answer of, Attitude Adjustment. After the Toss Up came Jim-the
announcer- to place a wonderful trip to New York City on the wheel
for a hopeful contestant to win. The prize package, worth $6,410
dollars, was sponsored by Broadway.com.
Jay's first trip with the wheel was on
a T.V. Title category. Jay was on a roll, buying up vowels and
guessing consonants in succession, until he guessed the letter D, of
which there were none. The game then passed to Mandy. Mandy got one
heck of a spin, landing on the $2500 dollar game piece. She guessed
the letter N, of which there were 3, and then solved the puzzle with
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Mandy started the next puzzle in the
Quotation category. Landing on the Bankrupt, Mandy passed the game on
to Melissa. Melissa was doing well, even winning a ½ Car piece,
before the black hole of the Bankrupt caught up with her. Jay was
doing awesome, until the nasty Lose A Turn piece popped up to ruin
it. Mandy's first turn landed her on the Bed, Bath and Beyond
shopping spree for $1000. Then she landed on the Lose A Turn piece to
give the game back to Melissa. Before the Big Bad Bankrupt bit her in
the tush, she was doing fantastic. Alas, the game got sent to Jay.
The next puzzle was the prize puzzle in
the What Are You Doing category, and Melissa started the wheel
spinning. The Bankrupt got her early though and Jay took over. Jay
was on a huge climb, buying up all the vowels, and guessing all the
consonants except one. With over $10,000 going for him, Jay spent the
last spin and landed on the Bankrupt all over again. Mandy was able
to capitalize on Jay's loss and win herself a trip to the Dominican
Republic, that was worth $7,199 dollars.
The third and final Toss Up puzzle, in
the Showbiz category, worth $3000, was over quickly when Melissa
solved it with, Ten-Piece Brass Band. After that, the Final Spin
buzzer went off and Pat gave the wheel it's last spin. Consonants
were instantly worth, $1300 for the Occupation category puzzle. Mandy
scored on this last puzzle with the solve of, Television Critic.
Going into the Bonus Round, Mandy took
her $17,299 dollars. The People category puzzle was given the usual
R, S, T, L, N and E. Mandy came along and added, C, M, P and A. Her
letters gave her all but one letter on the bottom word, but without
the beginning letter on the top word, Mandy just wasn't able to come
up with, Qualified Applicants in the ten seconds she was given. Even
missing out on the $30,000 didn't seem to dampen the fact that she
was taking home $17,299 dollars.
