Something historic is gonna happen on this episode. Anyway, we're "Celebrating Halloween!"

Contestants: Tony Garcia, Tiffany Moore, Kristin Withers

Toss-Up 1: Thing
C L _ W N

Tiffany's wearing a CLOWN COSTUME for her first bit of money. And the next Toss-Up is also costume-related...

Toss-Up 2: Things
_ O _ T U _ _
_ _ _ A S

Tony isn't sure, but he's got some COSTUME IDEAS for his first two grand.

Trip on the Wheel: Vancouver Island, Canada, $5,500

Jackpot Round: In the kitchen

Tony
Gift Tag! - 2 N's!
Canada (slipped past the 1/2-Car plate)! - 2 T's!

Tiffany
$300 (nearly hit the Wild Card) - 2 R's!
$300 - 1 S.
3 E's!
No O.

Kristin
Left-side $1 Million Bankrupt! And it nearly hit $500. Darn.

Tony

S T _ N _ I N _

Tiffany takes advantage of Tony's misfortune by buying a $100 STANDING ELECTRIC MIXER...but we'll give her an extra $900 for that solve.

M _ S E _ M
E _ _ I _ I T S

Toss-Up 3: Thing
N _ I L / _ I _ E

Tony isn't sure about the second word, but he gets a NAIL FILE for three grand...and he's TIED with Tiffany at $10,950! The next round will definitely decide between them!

Round 4: Phrase

Tiffany
$300 - 1 R.
Lose a Turn. And Pat, we can't go to the next player for now...

Final Spin value: $1,300

Kristin - No L.
Tony - 1 S. (It's definitely not PRETTY AS A PICTURE, which was used in "Fall Foliage" Week in season 27. [1])
Tiffany - 2 T's!
Kristin - 2 E's!
Tony - 3 A's!
Tiffany - 1 O. No more vowels. I know it now.
Kristin - 2 C's!

_ R E T T _ / A S
A / _ E A C O C _

Kristin may be PRETTY AS A PEACOCK, since she's won her only $2,600! But guess what, ladies and gentlemen? We have a TIE between Tony and Tiffany! Which means...

Tony and Tiffany: $10,950 each
Kristin: $2,600

...we have a $1,000 Tiebreaker Toss-Up! Whoever gets this one wins the game!

$1,000 Tiebreaker Toss-Up: Thing

G _ O _ / _ I B _

Tony's got a GOOD VIBE, because he's stolen the game with an extra grand in his wallet!

Tony: $11,950
Tiffany: $10,950
Kristin: $2,600

Bonus Round: Food & drink

Tony survived a very tight match, but how will he do in the Bonus Round?

He lands on the triple-star icon.

This is all he gets to start:

_ L _ _ / _ _ _

He picks the perfect combo of CDMA:

C L A M / D _ _

He eats up some CLAM DIP worth...a measly $25,000. But he goes home with $36,950, all cash!

He picks the $70,000 Sports Utility Vehicle as his prize!

  2. boy, it was quite the battle between Tony and Tiffany!

    Toss-Ups (including the Tiebreaker): Good job to Tony for getting three out of four!

    Round 1: Poor Tony. And Tiffany should've gone on for those remaining consonants.

    Rounds 2 and 3: Nice rounds for Tony and Tiffany!

    Round 4: Good to see Kristin get on the board...and for Tony to break the tie!

    Bonus Round: WOW. Tony plays this very well, and he wins so little. But still, not a bad night for him!

    Rating: High 7/10
