From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! The sun is ready to set in South Florida.

We've still got some Wheel left in us! We also have a few Toss-Ups like this one.

$2,000	$2,100	$7,500

Let's do the Mystery Round again! If you flip that $500 over, what will you find? Will you suddenly frown at a BANKRUPT, or will you go crazy about a Ford Focus ZX 3-door worth $13,780?

Round 4

AROUND THE HOUSE

Shelby	FAWN	John
	$550: N (DUD!)	$400: S (x3) $900: T (DUD!)
		$1,200
$300: R (x4) -$250: O (x3) -$250: I $300: M $300: L -$250: E (x2)

DING DING! DING DING!

We knew that time would run out soon, and now Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece!

Shelby: P (DUD!)
Fawn: F ($6,000)

AROUND THE HOUSE

Fawn solves FOGLESS SHOWER MIRROR to protect her title!

Shelby	Fawn	John
$2,000	$15,550	$7,500

BONUS ROUND:

That's one way for Fawn to finish, but let's do better! She is in Bonus Land and could win up to $100,000!

She has a lot of people with her, and she waves to her husband and her mother! There's possibly too many to count.

Too many envelopes here, but all Fawn has to do is spin! She stops at the comma, and one more puzzle awaits.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

Will we get a good finish with DMPA?

PHRASE

Not quite. She thinks of words such as HARD and BALD, but she does not solve GOOD GRIEF.

(Well, actually she "solved" after it was revealed, but obviously it was too late.)

Fawn was unable to take the Jeep Liberty, but she is still leaving with an all-cash total of $15,550.

In the post-game, Pat and Vanna talk about how there are some frequently asked questions, such as how many shows are taped in a day or how early they're taped.
