IHOP Jackpot Round: Phrase

This guy first calls two T's for $900 & two N's for another $1,200, buys an A & four I's but then bobbles the N. Secondly, Yasmine calls two L's for $1,800, buys four E's but then loses the $1,550 remainder to the Bankrupt next to the Wild Card. Third, Meagan calls the $500 B & buys the other two vowels before Free Playing a $500 H & calling a $500 V while on the Jackpot. Unfortunately, she can't solve for the $8,950 pot & then Loses a Turn. After Troy takes the WC by calling the S, he finds the $600 S at the end but then LaTs out too. Yasmine then goes for the $1K solve...

I ' L L / B E / _ O U _

_ A I T E _ / T H I S

...the rest of the consonants are worth $1,900 each. After Troy asks for three E's...

R _ _ D _ N G / T H E

1/30/2012 Results

LMaD: The first three traders this week Wayne's looking for are Charles from Long Beach, CA (a ballet dancer dressed as the Green Giant), Tina from Acton, CA (who's wearing Fall leaves all over her black shirt) & Melissa (who's dressed as partly cloudy w/ a chance of showers). They each buy this for $700 (Big Box)...a gourmet coffee counter worth $2,453.

Jessica (an Interior Design major from SDSU dressed as a spa lady) chooses the thing that rolls behind Curtain #2...it's a car, but it's made of lemons. That will cost her from the Small Box...the $11,840 trip to Ireland.

Go Big or Go Home has been won in each of the past two weeks. Should Elizabeth & Michael (a 24-year couple dressed as chefs) cook up another win at it, they'll win the Ford Focus S (Curtain #3) in addition to everything else. At least for this edition, the standalone prize space located just under the top-right corner of the gameboard's been replaced w/ the SB icon.

1. 1: $250
2. 6: $750 (QUADRUPLE)(Bad roll: 1)
3. 3: $1K (DOUBLE)(needs a six for the car, but a four will ZONK them out)
4. 2: $500 ($2.5K)(a four's now needed for the automobile, but a two or five will have them booted out of the studio)
5. 2: GO HOME- LOSS


Who knows how much they would've won if they had been playing that virtually-impossible Six Checks Deal instead.

Randy & Rose (she's dressed as a red/white cheerleader) each start out w/ a $1,550 sunset wine cruise from Corks Away Wine Adventures (Silver Envelope). They both go all-in on Curtain #1.

BB- Touring motorscooter ($3,299)
CURTAIN #2- BLUDOT bedroom group w/ customized closet from The Container Store & a $1K macy's gift card ($5,298)
CURTAIN #1- Giant robot

Christine (dressed as an oyster) is playing the Guess the Money in the Box Deal. There are a ton of $20s in there & she's got a $500 range. Her guess's $4,200 & she turns down all that money (in addition to the sure $700) for what's in the SB (Tiffany in front of Curtain #2).

MB ANSWER- $4,840
SB- Red Cole Haan pebble grain leather bag & Mon Cheri pink sapphire necklace ($2,746)

Noel's Fast Deal (he's dressed as the SB): Turns down camping gear from said prize location (Jonathan) for what's in CURTAIN #3 (even though he just came from camping in Yosemite)- Apple electronics suite ($4,645)
REJECTED: SE- Zombie ranch trip

PERFECT ROUND

The Big Deal of the Day's worth $26,330 on this Monday.

Once again, it's time for Beat the Dealer.

$500 Round:

Tom (dressed as a baseball player): C- WIPEOUT
Jennifer (a Developmental Math college teacher dressed as a red crayon): E- SEVEN
Lawann (a Southern cow belle dressed as a cow): G- EIGHT

R2 Prize (Curtain #1): Elliptical trainer ($3,299) & $2K worth of fitness lessons

Mustafa (a baker who performs as Wolfman at Universal Studios Hollywood) is the next customer for Big Head Jonathan. This morning's questions for Curtain #3:

1. Does it seat more than two people?
2. Does it use gas?
3. Is it easy to travel with?
4. Is it more than one item?

Choices:

1. #2- YES
2. #4- YES

CURTAIN #3- Outdoor furniture w/ a gas grill ($6,724)
SB (Tiffany in front of middle curtain)- Extreme anti-anti-perspirant

THE BIG DEAL: He also misses out on any chance of going for this, because Noel's staying w/ his electronics. That means Christine (a photographer) will choose Door #2 w/ nothing much to lose...she does NOT win a car that she wanted so bad, but she's won the BD of these two Hawaiian holidays for herself & Jeremy- a six-night stay at The Kapalua Villas in Maui & a six-night retreat at the Turtle Bay Resort w/ the $5K bonus!

#1- Home entertainment center ($2,100)(which was revealed last & not fully described)
#3- Strong Spa 6

In the Quickie Deal department, Linda (dressed as an Indian) correctly calls tails on a coin flip held by the host for $100, Robert (a coach) gets paid $100 from Wayne & then has that payout doubled by Tiffany for wearing a stopwatch, Barbara (who's wearing a Santa hat) finds five pennies just in the nick of time for $100 & Joshua (dressed as a penguin) remembers in front of Wayne that seven's the last digit of his student ID for $200.

The end-of-show chat reveals that Vanna ate sausages from a truck stop at least once back in '80.

J!: Brendan Graham's back in action this evening against:

Danny Parra (Miami, FL)- A sportscaster who uses famous movie quotes for HR calls
Kate Jeracki (Ft. Collins, CO)- A newspaper staff writer who just missed qualifying to being a contestant on the classic Art Fleming version by not identifying that Pat Nixon had the given nickname of "Thelma Ryan" (& Alex knew it just before Kate told him the right response!)

The Week's First Half-Dozen Subjects:

TIE ONE ON
ALBUMS
ART "R"EVIEW
PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT (each correct question's a playing card)
STATE FLOWERS
MARK TWAIN NEVER SAID...

Brendan's in Lock Game Territory w/ $5K at the first break; Danny's a fairly distant second w/ $1,800 & Kate's $2K in the hole thanks to back-to-back incorrect responses on $1K clues. Within one of the last four Art "R"eview clues is the first Daily Double of the week...it turns out to be the very last one, but Kate's got it w/ -$1,600; Brendan's still heavily leading Danny $10,200-$3,600. To knock $1K off her current debt, here's the clue:

This term can refer to a style of art or design or to a highly ornamental style of music of the late 18th Century.

"What is Rococo?"...yup to start the second round w/ -$600.

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS OF THE ROUND: $1K (Play Your Cards Right)
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS OF THE ROUND: $800 (Albums)
TOTAL LACH TRASH: $1,800

Double J! Categories:

IT'S A PARTY! (semi-themed board)
TIME
PLACE
OCCASION
HOPE "U" CAN MAKE IT
BRING YOUR OWN BOTTLE

Danny could get much closer to Brendan's lead, because he finds a DD under the $800 Place clue & he's trailing $13,800-$600; Kate's only $200 in the red now. Danny's wager turns out to be five big ones:

Cape Dezhnev, the easternmost point on Mainland Asia, juts into this strait.

"What is the Bering Strait?"...that's the one to jump to $11K & he uses the High School Strategy on the remainder of the topic to close the gap to $15K-$14,600 between the two guys! And on the $1,600 Occasion, he swipes DJ!'s other DD & now has such a lead over Brendan's $15K; Kate's $200 is now on the positive side. Danny's other bet's $6K, so for a new total of $22,600 & to stay in first place, the answer is:

September 21, 1897: It seems three months early, but the N.Y. Sun publishes an editorial famous for this seven-word phrase.

"What is 'Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain'?"...uh, NO- he just lost the lead right back to the champion. Correct: "What was 'Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus'?".

NO LACH TRACH THIS ROUND

Post-DJ! Banks:

Brendan: $21K
Kate: $11,400
Danny: $11K

CORYAT SCORES:

Brendan: $21K
Kate: $11,400
Danny: $12,200

FINAL J! TOPIC: 1960s TV Characters.

One of her first spoken lines is translated as "You have the face of a wise and fearless caliph".

Danny Parra put down "Who is Jeannie?"...$22K DOUBLER! Kate Jeracki...left off an N & her response's acceptable, but she only bet $10K. Brendan Graham...leaves w/ $47,602 after responding w/ Scherezade, so Danny's the new champ.
