Airdate: September 5, 2002

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Hot Cars week continues!

Quickly, now! There's a Toss-Up to be won.

$1,000 Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Melissa solves AND AWAY WE GO.

Terry	Melissa	Larry
	$1,000

And away they go!
Melissa Bill: Middle school P.E. teacher, from Grass Valley, CA
Larry Kurtz: Works as a breadman (best smell in the world) for 27 years and counting, from Shippensburg, PA
Terry Alan-Jones: Motivational speaker and national trainer, from Santa Monica, CA (by way of Florida)

Actually, Pat says that bread is the second best smell in the world. The best smell is coffee.

I smell another Toss-Up coming...

$2,000 Toss-Up

THINGS

Go!

THINGS

Melissa solves HOPES AND DREAMS.

Terry	Melissa	Larry
	$3,000

Melissa is doing good now, but is she motivated to try for the one-third $10,000 space?

Round 1

BEFORE & AFTER

Terry	MELISSA	Larry
	$500: T- ...please! (x4) -$250: E (x2) $500: R -$250: A (x2) $600: L -$250: I Gift Tag: C -$250: O $500: B $300: S (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$3,200+

Not only is Melissa excited, but she also speaks very quickly.

BEFORE & AFTER

Perfection! Melissa solves CAT LITTER BOX SEATS to keep the Gift Tag.

Terry	Melissa	Larry
	$7,200

Let's slow down so that we can introduce this prize. It's a 1-week holiday in Fiji by Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts (labeled FIJI) worth $4,880.

Take whatever time you need, and you might build up the Jackpot...but can you solve for it?

Round 2

FAMILY

Terry	Melissa	LARRY
		$3,500: R (DUD!)

$700: T $300: S $450: L (x5) -$250: A (x4) -$250: I (x4) FIJI: N (x3) $800: G (DUD!)	$300: M $550: D (x2) $400: W (x2) Solve: Wrong!
$2,750+	$2,200

FAMILY

Melissa stumbles with the ampersand, but finally says WILLIAM STEPHEN DANIEL & ALEX BALDWIN.

Terry	Melissa	Larry

		BANKRUPT! ($0)
$2,750+	$2,200
Free Spin: C -$250: E (x4) $900: B $300: P $300: H Solve: Correct!
$4,000+

FAMILY

Terry reads what's on the board and keeps the trip. Sometimes, you get lucky and actually win!

Terry (FS)	Melissa	Larry
$8,880	$7,200

Speaking of lucky, do you feel that way in this round? It's the Mystery Round, and we've brought out two special $500 spaces.

If you find a letter on one of these, you may risk it. Flip it over, and it could be a BANKRUPT, or it could be a Ford Focus ZX 3-door worth $13,780. Does that sound fun?

Round 3

NEXT LINE PLEASE

TERRY (FS)	Melissa	Larry
$550: T $550: R $550: D (DUD!) (Free Spin used) $550: N (x4) -$250: O (x3) -$250: I BANKRUPT! ($2,800)	$450: F -$250: E (x3) $300: P $800: V Solve: Correct!
	$1,300

NEXT LINE PLEASE

Melissa solves AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION. If she can say the next line, she'll get a $3,000 bonus!

She guesses a pound of luck. Everyone laughs, and Pat says "a pound of Alex"...or is it Alec? The line: is worth a pound of cure.

Terry	Melissa	Larry
$8,880	$8,500

An ounce of Toss-Up is worth a pound of victory. That is, if you can keep control...

$3,000 Toss-Up

ON THE MAP

Go!

ON THE MAP

Terry solves SWEDEN AND DENMARK.

Terry	Melissa	Larry
$11,880	$8,500

And he has control for this round...

Round 4

SAME NAME

DING DING! DING DING!

...but probably not for long! Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Terry starts!

Terry: T (x3) ($3,900)
Melissa: N ($1,300)
Larry: S (x3) ($3,900)
Terry: D ($5,200)
Melissa: R (x2) ($3,900)
Larry: E (x4) ($3,900)
Terry: L (DUD!)
Melissa: C ($5,200)

SAME NAME

Melissa solves METRIC AND STEREO SYSTEM for the victory!

Terry	Melissa	Larry
$11,880	$13,700

Larry barely got a chance to play, and the last puzzle was his only real chance. He leaves with the new $500 consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

Melissa would probably like to win something more in Bonus Land! Could it be a car, or is it cash up to $50,000...all the way to $100,000?

She spins the Bonus Wheel and settles with the U in BONUS. This puzzle is ready for the challenge...

Bonus Puzzle

EVENT

RSTLNE gives her:

EVENT

BCDA helps on the outside...

EVENT

But the second word stumps her. She guesses A BIG RIDE and A DOG RIDE, and she does not solve A JOY RIDE. If it's the Mustang, she's in trouble...

...but it's "only" the $25,000. Melissa leaves with $13,700 in cash and Gift Tag.

In the post-game, we see Vanna inside some hot cars during the credits.
