Final Clue Answer I got it right, but was too late <sigh>
Here's the answer if you want it.
The letters were VONGEYELNAIL
Using the sign behind Derek, you get VONGILNAIL
Dial that on the phone (after the 1 of course) for the "congrats" message.

Good Luck Knarfin! Maybe your the winner!
Can you tell me how you solved it from the message?
How did you come up with VONGEYELNAIL?

shhh...all will be revealed. Legalese prohibits discussion. I'd rather be safe than sorry. (You understand.) Check back in a few days. Sorry. And even though we didn't all figure out the "ULTIMATE SOLVE" (bwahahaha!) watching the show, and deliberating about the clues, and trying to solve the mystery of the experiment was a blast.

Complete Breakdown Here's the clue.
You disqualify the first clue ($1,045,000), spelling & punctuation count.
5th, 1st, 9th, 1st, 5th, 7th, 4th, 1st, 2nd, 7th, 5th, 2nd
Using your list of clues, you have:
teleVision
Orange
peter paN
G
morsE code
www.toYota18.com
fivE
Longitude
uNderwear
southeAst
bodnIck
eLiot
(I've capitalized the correct letter of each clue.)
You then get:
VONGEYELNAIL
As Derek was reading the clue, a sign behind him showed a graphic of an eye which equaled the letter I...meaning eye = I.
So you had to revise your clue to read:
VONGILNAIL
All that was left to do was dial a 1 in front of that string.
1-866-445-6245.
Any questions?

How to get the final answer If you don't want to know the answer to the ultimate solve DO NOT [highlight the following]...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Here is how to get the final answer:
spaces and punctuation COUNT
don't count the first episode (don't use 1045000)
then 5,1,9,1,5,7,4,1,2,7,5,2
1045000 (don't count this)
Television (5th letter in television is *V*)
Orange (1st letter in orange is *O*)
Peter Pan (9th letter in peter_pan is *N*)
G (1st letter in g is *G*)
Morse Code (5th letter in morse code is *E*)
Www.toyota18.com (7th letter in www.toyota18.com is *Y*)
Five (4th letter in five is *E*)
Longitude (1st letter in longitude is *L*)
Underwear (2nd letter in underwear is *N*)
Southeast (7th letter in southeast is *A*)
Bodnick (5th letter in bodnick is *I*)
Eliot (2nd letter in eliot is *L*)
The letters spell VONGEYELNAIL
There was a sign behind Derek that said EYE = I
So now you have VONGILNAIL
Now pickup your phone. See the letters on your phone? Dial V-O-N-G-I-L-N-A-I-L or 866-445-6245
