Previously on Wheel of Fortune, Mark Grotto won big with $33,650 thanks to $25K from the Big Money Wedge. Unfortunately, he couldn't solve QUIET DOWN (Phrase; CGHA struck out) for the Solstice. How will these students fare this episode? We'll find out a bit later.
Go here for the previous episode. Meanwhile, this episode features a familiar face to y'all (I'm dedicating this recap to him).
COLLEGE WEEK FORM CHICAGO

$1,000 Tossup: Place
R _ _ E R _ N _ E

This is the guy I'm talking about - Andy gets his first grand from a REFERENCE LIBRARY. Bios on him and the girls...
Andy Kravis (Univ. of Michigan jr.): Farmington Hills, MI. English and woodwind studies major. Sings in the Pops Orchestra, is on the Quiz Bowl team, and loves to play broomball.
Sabrina Stephenson (Marquette jr.): St. Cloud, MN. Political science major hoping to go to law school. Currently working at the district attorney's office in Milwaukee. She's also a member of the Alpha Phi sorority and loves to hang out with her girlfriends.
Sonya Roberts (Northwestern freshman): Flossmoor, IL. Theater major who likes writing and singing and hopes to write a musical.
For those not in the know, Andy appeared on the 2002 Jeopardy! Teen Tournament as a semifinalist and would later appear on Millionaire in 2011 (he finished w/ $1K). He was also on The Million Second Quiz in 2013 and won $2,600,000.

Andy again with TOPEKA, KANSAS - I think we have a hot player, folks!
Featured Prize: $5,000 from MY RICH UNCLE
Mon./Wed./Fri. Gift Tag: American Apparel

All Andy here: 2 $450 N's, 2 I's, a $450 T, 2 O's, a $5,000 S pair, and 3 U's.

He gets DIGITAL SURROUND SOUND for $5,600. PERFECTION!
Pre-Round 2 Scores:
Andy: $8,600
Sabrina: Spinning Next
Sonya: Didn't hear from her.
Could've gone for at least the D's...ah well. He's sitting pretty right now with that total.

Eggland's Best Jackpot/25 Round: What Are You Doing? (Also the Prize Puzzle)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ ($5,000)
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sabrina begins with 2 $300 G's (just past JACKPOT), 3 $600 N's, 3 I's, but then O for oops. Sonya picks up the FREE SPIN with a D, but then S for sorry while on MY RICH UNCLE and decides to keep her FS.
We get back to Andy...but he hits LOSE A TURN. Sabrina gets 3 A's but that MY RICH UNCLE wedge will still stay on the wheel as there's no F's. Sonya picks up the 25 wedge with an R...and it's 25 Bath and Body gift certificates. Up next is an E to wipe out the vowels, an L on $600 (near BANKRUPT), but then T for terrible on $300 and uses her FS this time. She calls 2 $800 C's and we have...
_ I C _ I N G / _ A C _ ($7,900)
A N D / R E L A _ I N G
...but she blows it with STICKING BACK AND RELAXING - really, girl?! Andy, however, will be KICKING BACK AND RELAXING on his Funjet Vacations trip to the Sheraton Cable Beach Resort in THE BAHAMAS worth $7,000. Sonya's stupid mistake deprived her of $11,750 cash & prizes from this round alone.
And if you're Spin ID TS998449, that hotel ain't there anymore. Did you have a Sony Card with you at least?
Duds: O (Sabrina), S (Sonya), F (Sabrina), T (Sonya)
Lose a Turn: Andy
DQ: Sonya's blown solve.
Pre-Round 3 Scores:
Andy: $15,600 cash & trip
Sabrina: Called some duds.
Sonya: Blew a puzzle.
The buzzer sounded at the missolve.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Trying to recover from that bad moment the last round, Sonya barely escapes BANKRUPT and onto $3,500...only to learn that there's no R. Andy takes it from here once again: 6 T's for $4,800, 4 I's, O & 4 E's...
_ T _ _ E _ T
_ _ T I _ I T I E _
_ O _ _ I T T E E

Dud: R (Sonya)
Pre-Tossup 3 Scores:

Could've said the remaining doubles...and Pat's joking that Andy's late for a class.

Round 4: Proper Name
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _
But R for roadblock on $300 cools him down for now. Sabrina gets 2 $300 S's, a $10,000 T pair, 2 I's, and a $10,000 H pair. Her next spin doesn't reach that silver space and lands on $300...but calls N to put $20,350 at risk. Sonya puts up a $1,000 L pair, but hits LOSE A TURN. Andy puts up a $900 W, A, 2 O's & E to clean out the vowels, but then BANKRUPT to lose the $150 remainder. This opens the door for Sabrina...
T A L _ / S H O W / H O S T
_ I _ _ _ / _ I _ _ E L
...and she breaks through in a big way with TALK SHOW HOST JIMMY KIMMEL for the $20,350!
Duds: R (Andy), N (Sabrina)

Pre-Round 5 Scores:

Good thing he didn't go for WORLD CUP - he easily solves WORLD MAP for $25,000, almost doubling his final total to $50,550 cash & trip. You did a great job this night, man!
"I'm going to grad school!" - Andy
Closing Chat: Andy's big win. Also, it's day three in this 3-week remote.
Lastly, we see Vanna with her two kids.
