Even Crosswords, as broken as it was, had some things of note. (Dates are approximate, and certainly don't reflect taping order.)


  • In general (although to a far lesser extent than the below), anyone who won all three trips in the Getaway era.
  • In general, any "true daily double" wins on a Crossword Extra.
  • In general, anybody who won $10,000 or more, especially before the Bonus Round. Neither was easy.
    • September 17, 2007: John Beck, former Jeopardy! champion, wins $10,300 and all three trips (Palm Springs, Las Vegas, and Cabo San Lucas).
    • October 16, 2007: Bruce Haights wins $11,550 plus trips to Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas (despite losing the bonus round).
    • November 18, 2007: Stuart Minskoff wins $10,300 plus an Xbox 360 gaming package and a trip to Jamaica.
    • November 23, 2007: Ed Young wins $12,800 plus an Xbox 360 gaming package and a trip to Cabo San Lucas. (One of his opponents was Theresa Carey, daughter of MacDonald Carey.)
