00:25Thank you so much.
00:26Nice to see you.
00:27Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
00:28Welcome to The Great Getaway Game.
00:29Our players are always testing their knowledge of travel and, at the same time, hoping to
00:33win a fabulous vacation.
00:35We give away a lot of good ones.
00:36Let's find out who those players are right now.
00:38Rick, who do we have?
00:39Well, our returning champion, you'll remember from yesterday, is Ed Kittigrad.
00:42He's a researcher and is a dental hygienist.
00:46Wife and mom, please welcome Stacey LaRosa.
00:49Hello, Stacey.
00:50Hello, Ed.
00:52Ed won a trip for he and his wife to a dude ranch on yesterday's show.
00:57Now, he's back to win another getaway today.
00:58By the way, Ed, you're a retired teacher.
01:00When you were teaching, what did you specialize in?
01:02What did you teach?
01:03My last job was teaching reading.
01:05Before that, English and social studies.
01:09You're a well-read man.
01:10No wonder you're doing so well on our show.
01:12Good luck, Ed, as we get another match underway today with this lady named Stacey LaRosa.
01:17Any relation to Julius?
01:18No, not Julius.
01:19How many times does any...
01:20Yeah, I guess a lot.
01:21You know that, huh?
01:22And you're a dental hygienist.
01:24Are people taking care of their gums and their teeth these days?
01:26A lot of business for you?
01:28For the price of what a cleaning costs, yeah.
01:30Okay.
01:31Stacey, I'll take your word for that.
01:32Welcome to the show and good luck to you both.
01:34A couple of reminders before we get underway.
01:36There is a word hidden on the board spelled in any direction, up or down, backwards or
01:40forward, any direction.
01:42You will never find one diagonally on the board, though.
01:44That's the only way.
01:45Find the word in this round and you'll earn yourself 100 points as well as a very nice
01:50prize.
01:51Rick, what's the prize?

02:02safe and a service for 12 from Washington Forge and the Great Getaway Game.
02:07By the way, Stacey and Ed, I'll remind you that all of our puzzle words are always four,
02:11five or six letters, none of them less than four.
02:14In other words, no threes or twos, alright?

06:25C-R-O-W-N.
06:26Checking our score, Stacey, with that win.
06:28100 plus your 50 gives you 150 points.
06:30Ed, in this game, you have 40 points.
06:33Never fear, however...
06:34By the way, you won the Mardi Gras flatware
06:36for that win, Stacey.
06:37When we come back for round number two,
06:39all of the correct answers will be where they should be.
06:42All of the correct answers will be worth 20 points
06:44and a correct solving of the puzzle

12:17It has to be taking shape somewhere.

12:26What do we call it in America?

12:55Traffic bumps.
12:56Well, yes, speed bumps.
12:58I think that's what you meant.
13:00Speed bumps acceptable, yes.
13:02Speed bumps, traffic lights, and you said traffic bumps.
13:05Okay, Ed, back to the board.

13:13Not my brain.
13:14All right, not his brain.
13:16You may someday be able to cross

13:20What is the tunnel known as?
13:22The Big Dipper, the Chunnel, or the Grand Design?
13:26Ed?
13:27The Chunnel.
13:28Chunnel is the common term for...
13:31the tunnel under the English Channel.
13:33Five.
13:34Pardon?
13:35Five.
13:36By the way, we're in the last game due to time.
13:37Number five is an I.
13:39What's cooking?
13:41Still no answer on this one.
13:43This is a tough one, isn't it?

13:47is known as a what?
13:48A megalopolis, a metropolis, or a Gotham?
13:51Ed?

14:11Ed?
14:12Buckingham Palace.
14:13That is correct.
14:14Still looking for something that says what's cooking on that board.
14:19Nineteen.
14:20Nineteen.
14:23Okay.
14:25Still don't see it up there, all right.
14:27Okay, that means that we've got to have a speed round
14:29because we're almost out of time.
14:30Ed and Stacey, I'll start calling out the numbers,
14:32and as soon as one of you knows it,

18:07Thank you.
18:08You've won the trip to Costa Rica.
18:09And I see nobody's out there any happier than your hubby.
18:11And we'll meet him right after we come back
18:13from this commercial time-out.
18:14All righty?
18:15Stacey, put it there.
18:16We'll be right back.
18:18Very good.
18:29Say hello to Stacey and her husband, Freddy La Rosa.
18:31Freddy, she did very well, huh?
18:32Very well.
18:33Represented the family well.
18:34She won the Mardi Gras flatware, first of all,
18:37and the wall sculpture,
18:38and most importantly, a trip to Costa Rica.
18:40And you're not going to use it, though.
18:42You're going to give it to somebody very special.
18:44Yes, I'm giving the trip to my parents
18:47for their job well done for babysitting.
18:49Babysitting over the years.
18:50That's very nice.
18:52However, if you come back on our next show
18:54and win something,
18:55will you then take advantage of that?
