_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _
Melissa's first spin doesn't hang onto the $10,000 and lands on it's left-side BANKRUPT instead. Dave goes for a $500 R, a $7,500 N trio, all of the good vowels, (A, U, 3 I's), 2 $300 G's, 2 $450 T's...but then LOSE A TURN to leave $8,750 sitting on the table.

Mystery/Big Money Round: Event
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Christina wants an S while on $3,500...but we can't give her any. Melissa strikes out with T on $300, so Dave will pick 3 $600 N's (almost got BANKRUPT nearby), but L on $600 (near $3,500) stops his turn for now.
Christina calls 2 R's for eBags, but hits LOSE A TURN immediately after (oddly enough, the camera doesn't go to the scoreboard). Melissa goes for 3 $450 D's, 4 E's & A, and two G's on the MYSTERY (near $800). She'll...actually take the money instead (good choice - that had the BANKRUPT). Next is an I, but then BANKRUPT (near $600) to lose $2,600.
Dave hits that same BANKRUPT (again, camera doesn't go to scoreboard) to lose $1,800, so Christina will call a $450 W...

Lose a Turn: Christina
Bankrupts: 2 (Christina's opponents)
Pre-Tossup 3 Scores:
Melissa: $2,000

Dave picks up the WILD CARD with N, but T on $450 ends his turn just as quick. Christina doesn't quite make it to $5,000 and settles for $300 instead, but there's no S anyway. Melissa picks a $500 R, a $900 L, but then E for end of turn. Dave calls another dud in C on $300 and it's speedup time...

$100,000 Bonus Round
Chris is there as well as his cousin (Johnny). She spins up to the ,.
Category: Phrase
RSTLNE gives her 2 N's...
N _ _ / _
_ N _ _
CDPO gives her two of the vowel...
N O _ / _
_ N O _
She stays silent for most of the time and after saying the first word, NOW I KNOW that she's nailed it with a second to go and wins the Winnebago (2007 Access) worth $67,051! That gives her $75,601 cash & RV to take home.
Motorhome Spin ID: GC01298
That has got to be one of the blandest envelopes I've seen in the bonus wheel era.
Closing Chat: Both hosts acknowledge that they haven't taken a road trip on a Winnebago yet.
