Prize on Wheel: Hotel Grand Pacific, Victoria, BC, $6,250
Jackpot Round: Phrase
Sam fills in T-H-E, doing the former two on $600 and $700. Her next stop is $2500, but there's no S. Larry instantly Bankrupts on the right edge of the MDW.
Danielle goes for W on $400, then buys A. Her next stop is $650 for L, after which she buys I. Next is B on $450, followed by the last vowel, O. She stops on the Jackpot for N, but doesn't know the answer yet, so on she goes.
Next are G, R, and F on $600, $700, and $2500. Finally, she gets the Bed Bath & Beyond Gift Tag with C.
W H A T / W I L L / B E
T H E / _ E C I _ I N G
F A C T O R ?
She solves WHAT WILL BE THE DECIDING FACTOR? for $7,100 and the tag.

Bankrupt Larry (loss of turn)
Left behind in Jackpot: $15,100
Danielle: $8,100
Sam: $3,000
Larry: $0

Mystery Round: Before & After
Larry manages to hit the Bankrupt on the left edge of the MDW again. Danielle's first spin is $550 for the N. (The shot was obviously dubbed in, as both the Mystery Wedge and over the blue $300 and the Million Dollar Wedge are absent, and a Wild Card can be seen on the railing.) Next is $650, but there's no G.
Sam gets the Wild Card with T, then buys E. She picks up the ½ Car next to the pink $900 with R, buys A, then gets the other ½ Car with S… but after buying O and I to finish off the vowels, she Bankrupts it all away on the right edge of the MDW. Ouch.
Larry tries H on $900, but he, too, falls victim to Bankrupt (next to $650 this time). Danielle puts up the M's at $800 a pop.
_ O M M E N _ E M E N T
S _ E E _ H
T H E R A _ I S T
And she solves COMMENCEMENT SPEECH THERAPIST for $3,500 more.
Dud: G (Danielle)
Bankrupt: Larry (loss of turn), Sam ($2,000 + ½ Car + Wild Card), Larry ($1,800)
Danielle: $11,600

Simply inexcusable and I had no faith in her winning the game.
