Ted tries to buzz in, but the entire solution is revealed before he can solve the puzzle.
The solution was ENGINE ROOM, and since no one solved the puzzle, no one gets the $2,000. Ted will start the next round since he is in the red position.
Our Prize on the Wheel is a Shopping Spree worth $7,000, while our Gift Tag is $1,000 courtesy of Bantam Bagels.

Despite a nice start, America's Game III just couldn't keep up the momentum. Our America's Game III contestants took home $215,372 in cash and prizes, collectively, this week. Our only highlights from this week were Monday's six round game and Bonus Round win, and the $10,000 Mystery Wedge win on Wednesday's game. At least we didn't get shut-out.
Next week is College Spring Break Week. Throughout the week, we'll watch college students spin to win, and we'll even see one of our members on the show, this week, as well. It's always a good time when college students take over the Wheel of Fortune set, so let's hope that holds true, this week. Don't forget to root for the member that will be appearing on this week, too.
Note: We are on the National Parks set.

This was the last episode taped on my taping day. I didn't stay to watch this one but I remember Vivian from that day. She had such a funny personality and I'm glad it came across on TV. And I'm glad she made it to the BR! Too bad she couldn't take home that prize.
