*I stroll over to the blue podium, shake Kevin's hand* Very nice! A strong start for you, Kevin, $6,350 for the round and $7,350 in total. But never fear, Matt and Chris, because there's plenty of game left and we're heading straight into the Jackpot Round. Vance, take it away! Tonight's Jackpot Round is sponsored by Casual Dining Affairs. We believe that the only expensive meal you should ever have is your last one.*audience acts confused, audible murmurs* And we've added a prize to the wheel! Get through those flaming summers with this pair of Samsung French door refrigerators. Featuring spill-proof glass shelves, humidity controlled cruisers and an external ice dispenser, you'll be prepared for any heatwave that hits your city, town, or unidentified area. $4,798!...even though it's the dead of winter, evidenced by a massive blizzard that hit southeastern New York, Massachusetts, and Maine amongst other things. Okay then. Well, the stakes have increased quite a bit as we now have that prize plus an upgraded top dollar value of $3,000... --- $700
--- BANKRUPT
--> $3,000
--- $400
--> $650 ...a couple of other amounts have been increased as well. Plus, we have this Jackpot wedge that could really score someone a large payday if they land on it at the right time... --- $300
--- $800
--- JACKPOT
--- $900
--- $700 And now, the category for this puzzle is... Quotation. *puzzle chimes, a few audience members enthusiastically applaud* | ------- JACKPOT ------- | | --- $5,000 --- |
