SHORT SHORTSHOT: Returning champions the Datchers defend their $995 against the challenge of the Nelsons. The Datchers run out the final survey to run out the game, 424-0.

Margaret & Kelvin play Fast Money again, hoping to get that sole #1. Margaret gets three of the #1s for a total of 158. Kelvin picks up the spare to win the $20,000 in seven.

Fast Money #1 answers
- 1. An occupation whose members probably hear a lot of unbelievable stories: Police (Margaret)
- 2. Something you can rent: Car (Kelvin)
- 3. An exercise HS gym teachers make you do: Jumping jacks (Margaret)
- 4. The hour 16-year-olds should be home from a date: 11p
- 5. Something a baseball player might be holding during a game: Bat (Margaret)


In the nightcap, returning champions the Sudduths can win the Ford Edge if they beat out the Littletons. Littletons lead, 228-84, going into the final question of a place a husband goes with his wife where he'd prefer to wait in the car. The Littletons end up running the survey with mall/store, hair salon, doctor's office, and parents' house for the 360-84 win.

Morgan & Mandi get a shot against the Big Board in Fast Money. Morgan did modestly well with 66, but Mandi closed it out on the final two answers - both of them #1s - for the $20,000.

  Five days, over $100,000. How high can the man from the Queen City go?
 
FIVE DAY CHAMPION
Keith Whitener

orig. Charlotte
research chemist
$100,397
Barry Peterson
El Paso, TX
financial risk analyst
Hillary Meyer
Middletown, NY
SAHM & blogger

SHORT SHORTSHOT: For the first time in seemingly a long time, Keith is no longer a sure bet. He does have a big lead, though, $16,800 to Barry's $9000. Hillary can spoil with $7600.

Final Jeopardy! in "The Constitutional Convention":New York's delegates were John Lansing, Robert Yates & this Founding Father, the only one of the three who signed. Correct response: who was Alexander Hamilton?

As Alex will do from time to time, he gives a subtle hint that you'd have to be money to get this. Hillary was money... but so was Keith to give him $18,001 giving him a six-day take of $118,398!

It's Halloween at the Marketplace of America with Wayne as Rev Run, Jonathan as a member of Starfleet, Tiffany a hippie, and Kat a gorilla. Also in costume, Glynis with pajamas, Marcia with a Union Jack, and Alexander with a pirate. Those aren't THEIR costumes, but rather clues as to what treats await our trick-or-treaters. Curtain #2 goes to Glynis unless she wants $1200. She does, and she gives up a bedroom. Marcia gets the small box. Will she sell it for $1500? Nope, but it's okay, because she's going to London! Alexander gets Curtain #1. Will he sell it for $2000? He will, so he gets by without a duct tape sailboat.

Jeremy (pepper) is Bobbing for Apples... and perhaps a CHEVY SONIC WORTH $14,885. First apple... $300. Second.. $300 more! Third... $100. Fourth... $200... Fifth and final.... ZONK.

Erica & Nathaniel play My Husband Sounds Like a... getting $1000 for cat and ghost. They can keep the $1500 on them or buy a small box. They buy the box and get a Puerto Rican honeymoon!

Good News for Markus (caveman)... his prize is more than one item. Big Box or $800? No deal, so he wins a small kitchen! But there's more! Will Markus trade up for something behind Curtain #1? The good news: it's a designer original. He goes... and his wife gets a designer cuckoo clock (ZONK!)

Holly the Good Witch is about to play for $20,000 in Smash For Cash! First hit is #3... $1! Second is #5... ZONK. Third, 8... Another dollar! Fourth, #7... THREE DOLLARS! $2000 is a good place to stop.

Are you my mummy, Mark? He can take a small box over a pail of candy (for $10 a piece). He gives up the candy, and $1500 (for 150 pieces) gets him a FORD FIESTA WORTH $13,995! More treats going to Breanna. Will she give up a chocolate bar with money inside for the big box? She doesn't, and she gets $4500! Behind the big box, a motorcycle vacuum.

Now the big question... Who'll trade what they won for a SHOT at $24,766 in the Big Deal? It's Erica & Nathaniel with their honeymoon! They select Door 3. Behind #1... a pool table and HDTV worth $4149. Behind #2... the vault. Inside... $6613. They've GOT IT! It's a bigger honeymoon than Puerto Rico, too.. It's trips to St. Lucia and Croatia! Have a GREAT TIME!

Hurry hurry hurry! Step right up for the Price Is Right Halloween Carnival! Our first "hey you with the faces" are Wendy Makin, Ronny Little, Krista Scoby, and Michael Ladue. Their first treat, a skeeball table. The $849 skeeball goes to Michael, but can he find the hole with the $25,000 in Punch-a-Bunch? He gets hits from a 70 waffle-cone maker, a $90 ice cream maker, a $25 churro maker, and a $50 sno-cone maker. I see what you did there, CBS. First hit... $10,000! Yeah, he's not walking away, he's running. And it's a good bail, because he leaves $5000, $250, and $100 in the holes.

Krista takes a $972 collection of Halloween costumes. A computer, a scooter, accessories and a grill in the $7000 Shopping Spree thrill. Scooter.. $1648. Accessories... $3795. Grill... $2049! That's a win!

Ronny wins a $2895 home gym, but can he win a Honda Civic in Pick-a-Number? The board: $19,_18. Is it 3, 5, or 7? He picks 7... It was 3. You pay your money, you take your chances.

Krista will advance to the Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaain Event! Meanwhile, Shane "Hans Yodelman" Fone goes down and up thanks to a $596 shaving kit. Don't fall over, because IT'S PLINKO TIME! With chips from the Barker, a $15 trick-or-treat bag, $24 candles, and a $10 cookie pan, he wins $2500.

Kristi Amick wins $500 from a $650 camcorder. Will perfection hold in the face of a trip to New Orleans, either $9503 or $7587? She goes for $7587... BOOM!

Last house on the block for Wendy. One wrong move, and she gets sent to the haunted mansion. It's a pair of watches. Price: $900. Winner... WENDY! She gets a shot at a karaoke, a 3DTV, and a Scion xB in Rat Race. She gets the green from a $3 pack of Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins and the pink from a $50 toaster oven. Winner... Orange. But pink and green are the others to win those prizes.

It's the battle of the Krista/is in the Showcase Round. First up, your own carnival with a basketball game, a cotton candy machine, a popcorn cart, and a Jeep Wrangler Sport. Top winner Krista passes to Kristi who bids $42,500. Krista gets a trip to Carnaval in Rio and a Fiat 500 Pop. She bids $15,000. Actual price: $33,824, a difference of $18,824. Actual price of Kristi's Showcase... $31,749. Sorry, Kristi, but Krista's got the lion's share of the haul with $43,168!

Time for some treats(and hopefully no tricks) in the Halloween edition of "Halloween" week here on Wheel!

Tonight's Classic Clip shows Vanna's kids in costume for 2003.

The $1,000 Tossup is WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Jonathan Carroll from Moorehead, KY is HOWLING AT THE MOON for $1,000. He is married with 2 kids and is a pharmaceutical sales rep. He loves to do short-term triathlons in every state(he has done 7). Joyce Bell from Los Angeles works at USC and is a foodie. Kyle Berner from Raleigh, NC and is a father of one. He is in pharmaceutical research and on the board of a big cat sanctuary.

The $2,000 Tossup is SHOW BIZ. Kyle has $2,000 with STAGE FRIGHT. He will start the IHOP Jackpot Round but we add this to the wheel. It's a trip to New Orleans at the Hotel Monteleone with a Haunted History Tour of New Orleans worth $5,040. He starts EVENT. He hits 2 Free Play E's and $1,000 for 2 Jackpot S's. After a lot of work, he calls the A on the board. Jonathan picks up the WC and $1,000 for two C's. He solves WINNING A COSTUME CONTEST for that $1,000. He has $2,000.

He also starts the $10,000 Mystery Round which is BEFORE & AFTER. He doesn't risk $6,400 on the mystery wedge, picks up the $1,000 Party Gift Package and $500 for an R, picks up the 1/2 Car(SMART CAR)Wedge and $500 for the C, dominates and solves THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST VIRGINIA for a total of $9,400. He has $11,400, the WC, the 1/2 Car Wedge and pretty much everything else!

The Classic Puzzle is from 1999:

It's PHRASE:

S _ A _ E   _ T
_ P


See the solution at the end of the puzzle.

Joyce has been patiently waiting and finally gets her turn and starts the Prize Puzzle round which is PHRASE. She loses $1,650 on Bankrupt. Kyle misses after a ton of work. Jonathan solves THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A FRESHWATER POOL for $1,000 and a trip to St. Maarten at the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort in Dutch St. Maarten. Travel from Hotwire.com is also included. It's worth $5,417! He has $17,817 including that Caribbean trip!

The $3,000 Tossup is THE 80'S. Kyle has $5,000 with BEETLEJUICE. He starts THING, but we go right into a FINAL SPIN worth $1,300 a letter. Jonathan seals his win with STADIUM SCOREBOARD and $3,900. He wins with $21,717 and the WC. Kyle leaves with $5,000 and Joyce leaves with the gooseegg $1,000 as she only spun twice this entire night.

The pre-bonus round total is $27,717. Will Jonathan add more money for his trip to St. Maarten or a new car in the bonus round?

He lands on the C in AMERICA'S. His category is THINGS. With the RSTLNE and his choices of D M P O and his WC of G gives us:

_ _ _ R E _ _ _ T _ O N S


This long puzzle were short things...ABBREVIATIONS. He lost the Camaro but he is leaving with $21,717 including his trip to St. Maarten!

Win $5,000 if you have WT2236017! That's the 5K Spin ID of the Day!

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
by Don Harpwood

Syn: Friday, check local listings
Host: Meredith Vieira
In HD Where AvailableOfficial WebsiteFacebookTwitterYouTubePlay Online
  On this Halloween day, the set is decorated appropriately, Meredith is dressed as a black cat, and for some reason, this contestant is apparently dressed as Meredith...

Jason Hoffman (Virginia Beach, VA)
When deciding how to dress for this, he was actually going for a "Scaredith Vieira" look.

He gazes into the Crystal Ball on the 5th question, and sees that it's only worth $100. So, he bats that away. He also bats away the 7th, which had $15,000. He eventually faces this with $52,500 banked...

[Q10 - Spooky Passing] (worth $1,000)
Which of these famous figures died on Halloween?
A: Alfred Hitchcock
B: Harry Houdini
C: Dr. Jack Kevorkian
D: Edgar Allan Poe

Though he feels he has this narrowed down to two, Jason wants to pick the audience's brains. 63% say B. He was thinking B or D. He goes with B... and he's right! He moves on with a total of $53,500!

[$100,000]
Though it sounds like an event for bald men hoping to achieve their dreams, rogaining is actually a what?
A: Cooking method
B: Folk dance
C: Outdoor sport
D: Chess move

Again, Jason feels that he has it narrowed down to two; this time, he's thinking B or C. He decides to go for it, saying B... but it's C! Well, he did give it a shot, and he does have $25,000!

There's not much time left, so Alan Edwards (New York, NY) is picked from the audience to play a Halloween-themed question for $1,000 (as long as he wears the wig that Jason wore)...

A new race called "Run For Your Lives" has runners completing an obstacle course while dodging volunteers dressed as what?
A: Grizzly Bears
B: Aliens
C: Sharks
D: Zombies

Alan goes with D... and he's right for $1,000!
