Go!
Ginger solves SOUP OF THE DAY. She actually had New England clam chowder today!
Today's contestants:
Ginger James: Has many nieces and nephews with some in Finland, and it helped her learn how to buy a vowel in Finnish! From Hinsdale, IL
Tony Pritchard: Machine shop inspector for companies such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical; from Atascadero, CA
Stacy Aldridge: Full-time nursing student at Tennessee State University graduating in May, from Madison
Go!
Ginger solves THE INSIDE LANE. She hasn't learned how to say that in Finnish yet.
But Ginger is ready, and so is the one-third $10,000 space. I bet she'd be excited to hit it!
Stacy solves A TWENTY-YEAR CLASS REUNION to keep the Gift Tag.
Perfection! Tony solves JULIA ROBERTS MARRIES IN NEW MEXICO to keep the trip!
And now for something we started just this week: our Mystery Round! We've got two wedges with something hidden, and you might find a BANKRUPT, but you might find a Ford Focus ZX 3-door worth $13,780!
Tony solves FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET for the house minimum. Pat tries to make his original $300 total exciting.
Go!
Tony solves IT'S HIT OR MISS.
As Tony hits, he will begin the next round.
DING DING! DING DING!
But we might miss a deadline, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Tony begins.
Tony: R (x3) ($4,800)
Stacy: S (DUD!)
Ginger: T ($1,600)
Tony: N ($6,400)
Stacy: L ($1,600)
Ginger: B (DUD!)
Tony: H (DUD!)
Stacy: G (DUD!)
Ginger: D ($3,200)
Tony: A (x2) ($6,400)
Stacy: P ($3,200)
With 1 second left, Stacy solves AIRPORT RUNWAY MODEL.

To think how long it's (almost) been since we've brought out a prize. Let's do it again with a trip to El Cid Mega Resort in Mazatlan (labeled MEXICO) worth $4,177.
