Choose Your Own Vacation (Day 5)
As Jim states, American Airlines wants to fly you to places like Rome, Cabo San Lucas, or Belize...all you have to do is "Choose Your Own Vacation"!
Let's purchase our airline tickets worth $1,000.

Sarah knows that PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.
We've got a battle of the S's to wrap up the week...
Sarah Minor: Peoria, AZ (originally from Southern Illinois), 3rd-grade teacher in Glendale, enjoys snuggling with her dog Phillip
Sharneena Nixon: Memphis, TN, mail processing clerk with the US Postal Service, has a son and is expecting, had a daughter who unfortunately passed away, prepares other people's taxes
Sam Lundquist (provider of this episode): Los Angeles, CA (originally from Ankeny, IA, north of Des Moines), has lived in L.A. for 4 years, recent graduate of USC, works for a theme park design and production company
Prepare for takeoff - it's double or nothing with $2,000.

BINGO - Sam quickly solves BINGO NIGHT.
The featured prize all this week is a gift card from American Airlines Vacations (labeled Choose Your Own Vacation) worth $7,000!
Tonight's $1,000 gift tag comes from Maui Jim.
The ever-popular $10000 wedge is probably more popular than a tourist destination.

Of course, Sam can't choose this vacation, even though he thinks he knows where it is - he might send a POSTCARD OF THE PARTHENON to friends and family on his trip to Greece (Athens, Greek National Tourism Organization + Olympic Airliens) worth $7,000, giving him a score of $9,100 that round.

BANRKUPT TRASH: $3,250 + WILD CARD
$100,000 BONUS ROUND
Sam could be handsomely rewarded for that impressive Final Spin solve with the 2007 Mini Cooper Convertible...or better yet, $100,000!
As for how he nailed that puzzle, he thought, "If I could, I would." He brought his mom and lands on the 1 in $100,000.

Great picks - he just couldn't wait to solve this puzzle and he can buy plenty of PISTACHIOS with $35,000! Final score: $58,650! Way to go, Sam!
Chat: This week, we gave away around $309,000 (or more precisely, $308,723)! Pat also claims that as of this episode, we gave away around $466 trillion! I wonder if that's true...but we sure did go 4-1 this week! Only loss was on the first episode, December 10.
