Ava solves THE NEW YORKER
$10,000 Round: Things (Prize Puzzle)[/u]
Ava hits the $10,000 prize on her first spin and calls S. (Right afterward, they sound the Prize Puzzle chimes a second time, because Pat made no mention of them at first.) She calls T, E, and R next, but loses her turn with I. Ronetta takes the Wheel, getting the Free Spin with N and getting up to $2,900 over the next several turns.
W A R _ / W O O L
C O A T / A N D
G L O _ E S
She'll need a WARM WOOL COAT AND GLOVES in Alaska (Princess Cruises, $6,600). That's $9,500 for her so far.
Dud: I (Ava)
Wheel Prize: Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado, $5,726
Jackpot Round: Person[/u]
Ronetta's first with an R, but there's no S. She uses her Free Spin, but there's no T either. Kurt tries Y of all consonants, and surprisingly find ones. He then lands on the Jackpot, but there's no C. Off to Ava now, who goes for the N's and M's. She then gets the Maui Jim Gift Tag with G.
_ R _ M M Y / _ _ _ R _
N _ M _ N E E
For $2,250 counting the tag, she solves GRAMMY AWARD NOMINEE.

Ava: $4,550

Mystery Prize: Toyota Echo, $13,245
Round 3: Clue[/u]
Kurt says N and R, then buys a trio of vowels (E, I, O). However, he loses the remaining $2,550 to Bankrupt. Ava goes for T, and keeps spinning until she has $8,150.
T H I S / F R E N C H
A _ _ R E _ I A T I O N
M E A N S / T O /
P L E A S E / R E P L _
She solves THIS FRENCH ABBREVIATION MEANS TO PLEASE REPLY, then gets another $3,000 for identifying that as R.S.V.P.

Ronetta: $9,500
Kurt: $1,000
Ava: $15,700

_ E A T H E _
S T A T _ _ N S
Ava says WEATHER STATIONS.
Round 4: Proper Name
The round begins as a Final Spin, and $1,450 per letter.
(Note: The Final Spin was shot a little differently. Instead of a close-up on the red arrow, they used a bird's-eye view of the entire Wheel.)
_ _ T _ _ R
_ _ _ N / _ R _ S _ _ _
Ronetta says ARTHUR JOHN GRISSAM. Two turns later…
_ _ T _ _ R

Kurt: $1,000

$100,000 Bonus Round[/u]
Will Ava add to her winnings? She lands on the purple space between CASH and BONUS. Her puzzle is a Phrase:
_ _ / _ _ R
_ R _ _ S
G, C, D, O worked yesterday, but will it be any good again today?
_ _ / _ O R
G R _ _ S
It will, because she's able to get the $25,000 that's UP FOR GRABS!
