Our Favorite Game! 2

Well, believe it or not, J.P. from our last "Our Favorite Game!" gave all his stuff to charity. Very nice!

"Aloha, Hawaii!" We're on that set tonight.

Contestants: Greg Chan, Tiffany Moore, Kristin Withers

Toss-Up 1: Landmark
P _ A R _
_ A R B O _

Greg IDs the infamous PEARL HARBOR for 10 Benjamins ($1,000 slang).

Toss-Up 2: What are you doing?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
T _ / _ _ _ _

Greg thinks he's LEARNING TO KNIT...but he's WAY too early.

L E A R N I _ G
T O / _ _ L _

Tiffany's LEARNING TO HULA to spin first.

Trip on the Wheel: Florence, Italy, $8,500

Jackpot Round: Food & drink (Finally, a bigger puzzle...)

Tiffany
$300 - 1 R.
$600 - 2 S's!
3 E's! Like 1-2-3!
3 A's!
Bankrupt near $2,500!

Kristin
$600 - 1 C.
1 O. The vowels are gone.
Jackpot! - 3 D's! But there's no guess for a $8,500 Jackpot with most of the puzzle filled in. Darn.
$300 - 1 H.

S H R E D D E D
S A _ O _
C A _ _ A _ E

Kristin eats up some SHREDDED SAVOY CABBAGE for her first $2,100...problem is, she could've had $10,300 had she gone for the Jackpot. Oh, well.

Jackpot That Should've Been Claimed: $8,800

Greg: $1,000 Toss-Up money
Tiffany: $2,000 T.U. money
Kristin: $2,100

This next round's gonna be ugly.

Mystery Round: Thing

Kristin
$300 (slipped past $3,500 with no reaction) - No S.

Greg
$3,500! - No T. Darn.

Tiffany
Florence - 2 R's!
$300 (slipped past Bankrupt near $3,500, but again, no reaction) 1 N.
1 E.
$600 - No L. She could be leaving $8,550 cash and Florence behind.

Kristin
Bankrupt!

Greg
$800 - No M.

Tiffany
Bankrupt! Fifty bucks and the Italy trip are GONE. Oh, man.

Kristin
$800 - No C.

Greg
1/2-Car! - No D.

Tiffany
$800 - 4 P's! Finally...
2 A's!

_ R A P P _ N _
P A P E R

Tiffany earns another $2,950 in cash, not WRAPPING PAPER.

Greg: $1,000
Tiffany: $4,950
Kristin: $2,150

Prize Puzzle: On the map

Greg
Right-side $1 Million Bankrupt! WOW.

Tiffany
Bankrupt near $3,500! Man...

Kristin
Bankrupt between $900 and $600!

What is going on?

Greg...Please make this better...
$900 - 1 L. He wanted to buy a vowel but spun again...
Bankrupt (nearly hit $300)! This sucks...

Tiffany
Gift Tag! - 1 C!
$800 - 1 R!

Kristin
$600 - 1 M.
1 E.
$300 - No S.

Greg
1/2-Car! - 1 G!
Wild Card! - 1 X! Not trying to be funny here...

Vanna explains the Wild Card. You can use it before the Bonus Round to pick a letter for the same amount you just landed on. Or you can use it in the Bonus Round to guess a fourth consonant.

Still Greg's turn
$300 - 2 F's! Only vowels left.

G _ L F / _ F
M E X _ C _

This round wasn't much better, but at least Greg will travel to the GULF OF MEXICO near MIAMI, FLORIDA; this trip is worth $5,000. With another $1,100 in his pockets, he's earned $6,100 that round!

Greg: $7,100 cash and Miami
Tiffany: $4,950
Kristin: $2,150

Toss-Up 3: Phrase
N O _ _ _ _ G
D O I _ G

There's no NOTHING DOING when it comes to solving puzzles, and Greg knows this to break 10 grand ($10,000)!

Round 4: Place

Greg
$800 - 2 T's! Pat thinks Greg should use his Wild Card, but Greg wisely declines.
$550 - 3 R's!
1 E.

Final Spin time! Consonants are worth $1,300 from here on out.

Still Greg's turn - 1 L.

_ _ R _ _ R T
T E R _ _ _ _ L

Greg nails this puzzle, and the AIRPORT TERMINAL hands him another $4,300 in cash!

DOMINATION!

Greg: $14,400
Tiffany: $4,950
Kristin: $2,150

Bonus Round: Places

Greg lands on the R in AMERICA'S.

RSTLNE fill in nearly 1/2 the puzzle:

R _ _
_ _ _ S E S

And Greg knows it like I do! He goes with H, G, W, O, and P...

R O W
H O _ S E S

He can visit some ROW HOUSES in his his all-new $60,000 Pickup Truck! He leaves with $74,400, cash and prizes! Very nice!

He picks the $45,000 Hollywood set.

  2. Toss-Ups: Poor Greg buzzing in too early on #2, even though it fit. But good job to him for getting the other two.

    Round 1: Kristin, you knew way better than to miss out on a Jackpot, spin once for a single consonant, and then solve. You were just asking to lose the game.

    Round 2: UGLY round...

    Round 3: I got this puzzle with no letters showing! Yet this round wasn't much better...

    Round 4: ...but nice domination by Greg this round!

    Bonus Round: I got this with RSTLNE showing! And apparently, Greg did, too! This should really make up for lost time.
