Hollywood Magic (Hollywood 1)

Welcome to Hollywood! Thus, we're making some "Hollywood Magic" tonight! And you're in for a night...

Contestants: Tony Garcia, Tiffany Moore, Kristin Withers

Toss-Up 1: Fun & games
_ _ _ _ N
_ A Y A _

Tony grabs his OCEAN KAYAK for his first bit of money.

Toss-Up 2: Show biz
_ C _ D _ M _
_ _ _ _ D _

Tony nails this puzzle, too, so the ACADEMY AWARDS will give him the "Puzzle Solver" award.

Trip on the Wheel: Belize, $7,500

Jackpot Round: Before & after

I'm warning you, this should be a three-liner, not a two-liner, since the category is "Before & after". Oh, well.

Tony
Bankrupt!

Tiffany
$2,500 - 1 R! One is enough!
Gift Tag! - No S.

Kristin
$400 - 2 T's! Tony wanted that letter.
2 A's!
No E. That's stunning.

Tony
$300 - 1 N.
1/2-Car! 2 L's!
2 I's!
Jackpot! - 1 W!

_ _ R T / _ _ / _ A L L
W A I T I N _

Set off those fireworks! Tony's in no PORT OF CALL WAITING, as he's earned $1,550 and a $9,700 Jackpot, giving him $11,250 in cash that round! Very nice!

Tony: $14,250
Tiffany and Kristin: $0 each

Mystery Round: Phrase

Tiffany
$900 (nearly hit the Gift Tag) - 2 R's! Nice start.
$300 - 2 S's!
$800 (slipped past Belize) - 2 T's! There's 2 of everything!
5 E's! WOW!
$300 (nearly hit the Wild Card) - No L.

Kristin
$800 (nearly hit LaT) - No N.

Tony
The other 1/2-Car! - 4 H's!

H _ _ E / _ S
_ H E R E / T H E
H E _ R T / _ S

Someone knows that HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS...and it's Tony, who's earned $2,000 plus a $10,000 car! He's earned 12 grand that round!

Tony: $26,250 cash and car
Tiffany and Kristin: $0 each

Prize Puzzle: What are you doing?

Why is the Prize Puzzle always a 2-liner? And I keep thinking Tony's starting the round.

Kristin
Gift Tag! - 2 R's!
$900 (slipped past Bankrupt) - No L.

Tony
$300 - 2 N's!
2 A's!
$500 - 3 M's!

_ _ _ M M _ N _ / _ N
_ A R M / _ A _ _ R

Tony nails it again, and with $1,850, he'll go SWIMMING IN WARM WATER on his $7,000 trip to THE BAHAMAS! He's earned $8,850 that round!

Tony: $35,100 cash, car, and Caribbean
Tiffany and Kristin: STILL $0

Toss-Up 3: Place (one-liner)
L O _ / C _ _ _ _

Tony's still perfect, as he purchases a LOG CABIN to sweep the Toss-Ups!

Round 4: Phrase

Can Tony sweep the maingame? This round will decide that.

Tony
$500 - 2 N's!
1 E.
1 A.

Final Spin time!
Consonant value...$6,000!

Still Tony's turn - 1 T.
Tiffany - 1 R.
Kristin - 1 O.
Tony - 2 P's!

P A R _ O N
T _ E / P _ N

He's not so sure about his reply, "PARDON THE PUN"...but he's right! Not only has he won a massive $18,500...he's SWEPT THE MAINGAME!!! Impressive!

Tony: $56,600...Wow, that's a lot!
Tiffany and Kristin: $1K consolation each

Bonus Round: Around the house

Can Tony pull off a total clean sweep? He lands on the C in AMERICA'S.

RSTLNE aren't of much help...

_ _ _ _ _
S _ _ _

He probably thinks the second word is SOAP, picking CDPO...

C O _ _ _
S O _ _

...but he can purchase a COMFY SOFA for the TOTAL CLEAN SWEEP and another $35,000! He leaves us with $91,600, cash and prizes! Great job, Tony!

He's won the Sedan as his car, and he buys the Washington, DC set worth $35,000!

  2. Tony was a great player tonight!

    Toss-Ups: Obviously, since Tony swept the game, he's swept the T.U.'s...but not only that, he nailed them!

    Round 1: Great Jackpot win by Tony!

    Round 2: Tough break for Tiffany after all that work...but that allows Tony to earn a new car! This reminds me of David Rigsby from the real show on 4/10/2013: a Jackpot win and a car win from one player! Thank goodness it only took one spin from Tony.

    Round 3: Kristin isn't getting much chances to play...and Tony makes a big mistake: leaving behind three W's. But I understand, he doesn't want his sweep spoiled!

    Round 4: I got this with just N, E, and A, even though I wasn't sure. Unlike David Rigsby, Tony sweeps the maingame! (The person who spoiled David's sweep won only $6,500.) And Tiffany doesn't get to play much, either.

    Bonus Round: I thought it was SOAP, too, but Tony and I got it with his picks! I wish he won $45,000 or more, however, so he could break $100 grand...oh, well.

    Rating: 10/10!

  3. Like David: The Bonus Round wasn't that easy.
    Unlike David: The Bonus Round was solved.

    Sorry, David...
