Natalie rightfully says “I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES”. Wrapping up this week…
Natalie Furcester (?): Recently moved from LA to NYC (Originally from Minnesota). Works for AIDSWalk.
Laura Schnider: Rochester Hills, MI. Married to Tim for almost 9 years with a 2-year-old son. Wants to see every island in the Caribbean.
Tom Cokie: Pittsburgh, PA. Bus driver married to Janet for 21 years with 2 children. Participates in bus rodeos.
Little spoiler: Tonight’s Prize Puzzle trip is NOT to the Caribbean. Sorry, Laura!

Laura gets first dibs on the wheel with GARDEN SHED.
Featured Prize: Green Valley Ranch Resort in Henderson, NV worth $4,000 (That famous Las Vegas sign is slapped on the wedge for presumably the entire week.)
Gift Tags: Vegas.com (on $700; labeled VEGAS.com) and a 4 piece luggage set from Ricardo (on $300; labeled RICARDO BEVERLY HILLS)
$10,000 Round: Event (Also the Prize Puzzle Round)

Laura begins with 2 $300 T’s, buys 3 A’s, but E ends her turn. It’s all Tom from here: 2 $550 R’s, an L for that VEGAS trip, U, 4 $400 N’s (next to $550), 3 I’s, 2 $450 G’s, 3 $900 S’s (He almost got that BANKRUPT next door.), and a $300 K.

Not only does Tom win $6,100 and that Vegas trip, he’ll also be SOAKING IN NATURAL HOT SPRINGS near the Nordica Hotel & Spa in ICELAND (ICELANDAIR airfare included.) worth $8,700 for a total of $18,800 in that round alone!
If your Spin IDs were PP0184 and CT0010055, your time has passed. Did you two have a Sony Card, at least?
Dud: E (Laura)
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Tom: $18,800 cash & trips
Natalie: $1,000
Laura: $2,000

Eggland’s Best Jackpot Round: On The Map
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ ($5,000)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tom immediately picks up the RICARDO with 3 T’s. After a null cycle, the BANKRUPT next to $600 takes away his luggage. Natalie repeats the S right after on $800 (So a dud S WAS part of the null cycle.) and Laura calls a dud of R on $350, so it’s back to Tom. He hits that JACKPOT space for 2 M’s…
_ _ _ T _ M _ _ _ / _ _ T _ ($6,150)
_ _ _ T _ M _ _ _
...but it’s too early to claim it. Tom will then call up 2 L’s on $450, buy 2 E’s and an I, and pick up that FREE SPIN with 2 G’s.
G _ _ T E M _ L _ / _ I T _ ($6,600)

Tom locates GUATEMALA CITY, GUATEMALA for the house minimum.
Aired Dud: R (Laura)
Aired Bankrupt: Tom
Aired DQ: Natalie’s S repeat
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Tom: $19,800 cash & trips
Natalie: $1,000
Laura: $2,000
Okay, what the heck was that DQ? Pat acknowledged that S as a duplicate and we, the TV viewers only heard that once this round! Sigh...this is just like 3/28/13 all over again.

Mystery Round: Before & After
_ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Both Natalie and Laura call duds of S and N on $550 and $300 (next to $900) respectively (Natalie tried to call a G right after she called her dud letter.). Tom then calls up 3 $450 T’s, buys 2 E’s, gets 3 $300 L’s, buys an I and an A, gets $600 more from a C, 2 $800 B’s, 2 $300 K’s, and misses with a D on the MYSTERY near $800. He has that FREE SPIN, so he’ll turn that in right now. Next up are 3 O’s to clean out the vowels and 2 $300 R’s.

Natalie picks off a $600 T, but the S fails her again while on $800 (She tried to call for G again.). Laura next goes for 4 $400 N’s (next to $550), buys 2 A’s, gets $550 twice from a C and a G, and the Final Spin Bells ring after that.

Tom shone in the HEADLINER & OPENING ACT of this episode, but it’s Laura who makes the $5,150 solve here.

Laura: $7,150
Maingame Total: $35,600

The cars waiting to be won are an Audi A4 convertible and a Jeep Commander. Tom brought his wife and lands on the O in BONUS.

MDPO...offers nothing. However, after guessing NATURE and FUTURE, he gets A BRIGHT FUTURE much to the surprise of the host! That solve gives him a well-deserved $40,000, meaning that he leaves with $64,450 in cash & trips!
Closing Chat: Pat and Vanna talk about confusing Fried Chicken with Chicken-Fried Steak.
(Cue an ad about tickets to see a Wheel taping. Also there’s a full-credit roll.)
