On tonight's episode of America's Game
Show, three new contestants took their chances on the wheel to see if
they could be the Big Winner. The first Toss Up-an On The Map-puzzle
was quickly solved. Jordan Muller from Richmond, Virginia, is a
software sales representative, and on the weekend she moonlights as a
bridal stylist. Michael Groover from San Juan Capistrano, is a
performing arts student. Jen Eckland is a workaholic who has four
jobs which range from first grade teacher to retail worker, to casino
gal, to independent consultant.
The next Toss Up was worth a nice $2000
dollars, helps to determine who gets to go first in the initial spin
round puzzle. The What Are You Doing puzzle went quickly to, Jordan,
once letters started randomly showing up on the board. After the
puzzle was done, Jim-the announcer- introduced a prize package based
on the new Spider Man 2 that comes out in theaters Friday, May 2nd.
The prize package is worth a hefty $7500 dollars.
Jordan started the first spin puzzle
with a smile on her face. The In The Kitchen category gave a three
word answer for the contestants to try and solve. Jordan's first spin
out landed her on the million dollar/bankrupt piece, and she kept the
momentum going with the letter R. Providing a bit of humor during her
playing time, Jordan was able to spin her way through a ½ Car piece
and earn some nice cash as well, before finally solving the puzzle
with, Stainless Steel Colander.
Michael took his first turn with the
wheel on the next, Same Letter puzzle. Michael was doing well,
guessing the letters T and L, but when he got to the letter R, he was
out of luck. Jen was up next for her first spin. Jen got stumped by a
letter, and so did Jordan after her. Returning to Michael, he got
himself the Wild Card by guessing the letter B, of which there were
four. After guessing all the consonants in the puzzle, Michael was
able to solve the puzzle with Blue Baby Booties.
Jen took her first solid punch at the
next puzzle. Along with being a, Food and Drink puzzle it was also a
Prize Puzzle, which is usually a fabulous trip to some exotic place.
Michael was doing great, until the letter N showed up and knocked the
game over the Jen. She was finally able to put some money on her
board, before the Lose A Turn came up to bite her. When it came
around to Jordan, she spun the wheel and landed on the Express piece.
Giving her a $1000 dollars for every correct consonant she guessed,
Jordan took the risk of a Bankrupt if she missed any. Lo and behold
she was able to see the puzzle through and solved it with A Bowl Of
Delicious Goulash. She added $7000 to her total for that one puzzle.
She was also able to pick up a fabulous trip to Budapest, Hungary!
The trip, worth $7699 was sponsored by Hotwire.com.
The next, and last Toss Up puzzle came
after the commercial break. Worth $3000 dollars, all the contestants
were hoping to snag this Thing puzzle. Jen was finally able to put up
some solid cash on her board by solving the puzzle with, Spiral
Staircase.
Per the usual course of things, the
Final Spin bell gave a ding after the Toss Up, so Pat gave the wheel
it's last spin for the night. This made the consonants worth $1500
dollars a piece and gave the contestants a chance to rack up the
cash, during this Person puzzle.
Both Jen and Jordan gave attempts at
solving the puzzle, but it was Michael who was finally able to solve
it, after picking the letter N, with Cross-Country Runner.
Carrying her Million Dollar wedge and a
nice $23, 649 dollars with her, Jordan entered the Bonus round in
high spirits. After spinning the game wheel for her prize, Jordan
took her place to work on the Person puzzle. With the help of the
usual culprits; R, S, T, L, N and E, Jordan added her own letters.
After picking C, D, M and O, Jordan wasn't so thrilled with only
getting help from seven letters in her 18 letter puzzle. With no
beginning letters for any of the three words, Jordan simply didn't
have enough information to solve the Beauty Pageant Judge puzzle. But
she seemed rather happy to have won her great trip and her already
nice total.
