CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS:
Rufus Cumberlander is from Ewa Beach on Oahu, where he is a liaison officer with the Department of Defense. He's a 13-year Navy veteran and married to his wonderful wife, Celine. When not caring for his four-year-old son, Nahi, he enjoys singing karaoke and the music of Ray Charles.
Alana Wegel makes her home in Honolulu, working as a speech therapist for the school district there. In her spare time, she's a surfer and yoga instructor (both on land and in the water on paddleboards). She's originally from New Jersey, but has been living in Hawaii for three years now, making her way west.
Sharyn Taniguchi lives in Hilo on the Big Island. While she was born there, she was raised in San Francisco and only returned 12 years ago to care for her parents. Currently, she is a full-time caretaker for her father. She's been married to her husband, Dennis, for 34 years; they have three sons - Scott, Troy, and Sy - and recently added one grandson, Kanta.

Alana starts with a $700 S. She pays for a pair of E's and then gets the A without spending money, thanks to Free Play. Next up is the big $2,500 space, and the are four, count them, four T's! She then gets a couple H's on $550 and double D's on the New Orleans trip! An N is next, on $600, followed by a pair of I's being purchased. There are four L's for her on $650...

...and as Modern English sings I'LL STOP THE WORLD AND MELT WITH YOU, she rings up a big lead - $15,500 cash and the trip!
PERFECT ROUND!
Alana: $25,212
Sharyn: $0
Rufus: $1,000
ROUND 2 (MYSTERY ROUND): SAME NAME
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _

_ _ _
Sharyn is in a big hole, and starts with a big spin as the Mystery wedge near Free Play comes up - there's one T, and she flips up the $10,000 cash prize! It's not spendable, so she must spin again and lands on the other Mystery spot, now a "regular $1,000" space for an N. She buys two E's and then picks up an $800 D to make up the loss. Three A's are paid for next, followed by a $600 L. She finishes off the vowels by getting the pair of O's, then hits another big number - a $3,500 C! There are no vowels left, so she's forced to take a consonant on Free Play, and she calls for two M's. After a bit of a scare from Pat, he realizes that there is indeed a W, so she adds the Adventure In Hawaii gift tag to her big bank. However, the momentum breaks down because the B is bad on $900.
Rufus also lands on $900, successfully picking up the Y. The last letter is a G, which he gets for $500 (near that same orange $900, where a 1/2 Car would normally be)...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Rufus just tips off the Express to $900, and he finds a slew of S's - four to be exact. He buys the only A, then picks up the Wild Card and $500 with the N. That's a great time to have it, because his next spin is $3,500 for a D, after which he uses the Wild Card for a $3,500 T! He invests in three E's before hitting $650 for a trio of R's. Two O's go up at a cost of $250, then a couple of M's earn him $500 each. He thinks he has the right answer...
_ _ _ M / T R E E S

...but PALM TREES AND CHERRY BLOSSOMS is not correct, and he loses control.

...she correctly fills in PLUM TREES AND CHERRY BLOSSOMS, and not only does she bag another $3,800 in cash, her westward migration will continue on her trip to Japan! It's a walking tour sponsored by WalkJapan.com with travel by Hotwire, and it's worth $9,900 - making her round total $13,700!

We gave away a lot of money and took a lot of time doing it, so this will be a full speed-up round.
Final Spin: $700 -----> $1,700 per consonant
Rufus: T - 1

Rufus doesn't win the CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH with this solve, but it's impressive nonetheless, and nets him another $1,700 at the very end of the game.
MAINGAME TOTALS:
Alana: $38,912
Sharyn: $0 ----> $1,000
Rufus: $7,100
$100,000 BONUS ROUND:
Alana has just one person in the audience, her boyfriend Mike. Her bonus spin lands on the M in GAME.
Just like last night, our bonus puzzle falls in the category of WHAT ARE YOU DOING? The standard six, RSTLNE, give her...

Alana gets a bit of help with her picks of G, D, H, and A...

Alana does her best to fill in the rest, and even comes up with a guess of WAKING UP THE KIDS. Unfortunately, she miscounted the first word and does not solve PICKING UP THE KIDS for the $50,000 in cash.
Alana's Final Total: $38,912 ($21,300 in cash, plus the New Orleans and Japan trips)
