From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Here is more Fast Cars week!

Don't fall behind! Hands on those devices as we start a Toss-Up.

AROUND THE HOUSE

Tena solves SEWING KIT.

Kevin	Brian	Tena
		$1,000

Today's contestants:
Tena Shook: Fashion coordinator, from Fresno, CA
Kevin Rome: Assistant dean of students at the University of Texas, currently working on a Ph.D in administrative education, from Austin
Brian Mallari: Technical marketing manager, El Dorado Hills, CA (near Sacramento)

I hope Tena is ready for some big money. We're bring out the $2,500 space for our first round!

	$4,750	$1,000

Well, it's time for our regular surprise. This time, we have a Magellan 750NAV car navigation system (labeled TRAVEL) worth $2,500.

These contestants weren't expecting the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces to come out so soon, were they?

TRAVEL: D (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	-$250: O (DUD!)

$800: S (x2) $300: G Solve: Correct!
$1,900

Oddly, Brian's BANKRUPT sounded the slide whistle before the Wheel actually came to a full stop.

FILL IN THE BLANK

Kevin solves ?-CLEAR ? WINEGLASS ? BALL. Clearly, he has a chance at a $3,000 bonus for filling in the blank.

He is correct with crystal.

Kevin	Brian	Tena
$4,900	$4,750	$1,000

We add a dream vacation to Bahamia on Grand Bahama Island (labeled BAHAMAS) worth $4,356. Try for both prizes, though you can't really drive to the Bahamas. Maybe.

And it's a close race between the men, but anyone can take a huge lead with the one-third $10,000 space.

Kevin and Brian will also receive VTech cordless phones.

BONUS ROUND:

Tena is suddenly on fire! She could win a Mustang Convertible, Porsche Boxster, Volvo Convertible, or $25,000 cash!

She picks the L. Will she figure out this puzzle in time?

It's not enough. She does not solve I'M FLEXIBLE. And she later says that she is flexible!

Tena does not take the $25,000, so she leaves with a total of $12,556 cash and trip.

In the post-game, Vanna notices that Pat has some glitter on his face. Pat says Vanna has it all over her (her dress is glittery).

It was also used in the 23rd season.

All 3 appearances of that puzzle resulted in losses (interesting enough, the next two uses only used one line).

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.
