From DAR Constitution Hall, it's America's game!

Here we are honoring what made all this possible. It also made this Toss-Up possible:

First Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Archie solves IT SPEAKS VOLUMES.

Camile	Marla	Archie

Today's contestants:
Archie Alston II: Chemical engineer and graduate for North Carolina A&T, from Fredericksburg, VA
Camile Lewis: Also a chemical engineer, and currently a law student; from South Riding, VA
Marla Ord (?): Web master, from Relay, MD

Archie is now free to get started!

Camile	Marla	Archie
$3,550		$1,000

A prize from our rack ought to make you happy! We have a Laptopmania.com gift certificate featuring Nokia phone and Sony laptop (labeled LAPTOP) worth $3,000.

And while you're free to solve at any time, the Jackpot space would prefer more spinning.

Round 2

HEADLINE

CAMILE	Marla	Archie
$800: T (x3) $300: S (x4) -$250: E (x4) $10,000!: R (x7) $500: L -$250: A (x4) Solve: Correct!
$3,600+

HEADLINE

Perfection! Camile solves BARBRA STREISAND PERFORMS HER LAST CONCERT.

Camile	Marla	Archie
$17,150		$1,000

Pat notes that the $10,000 space was accidentally placed a round too early "because...we goofed up!". The current scores will stand, as we like big totals anyway.

Just an excuse to catch up with some help from this prize: a trip to Jamaica and stay at Round Hill Hotel and Villas (labeled JAMAICA) worth $5,904.

Let's see if we can have another $10,000 winner in this round!

Round 4

ON THE MAP

DING DING! DING DING!

Actually, it's time for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Marla begins.

Marla: T (DUD!)
Archie: R (x2) ($2,600)
Camile: S (DUD!)
Marla: N (x2) ($2,600)
Archie: L ($3,900)

Camile solves ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA.

Camile	Marla	Archie
$18,450	$1,000	$2,200

BONUS ROUND:

Strange things happen. Now, Camile can just think about Bonus Land where we have...

The $25,000 in golden U.S. Mint dollars

Audi TT convertible (over $44,000)

Regal 1900 LSR (over $27,000)

2000 Lincoln Navigator (over $53,000)

BMW convertible

Sounds like fun, but Camile can only take one. She picks the second E, and we've picked this puzzle for her...

Bonus Puzzle

PLACE

RSTLNE gives her:

PLACE

Will GDPI help much?

PLACE

She guesses RIVERBEND, and the audience cheers but then stops. She does not solve RIVERBANK. So close!

Camile won't be getting the Audi TT, but she will be leaving with $18,450 in cash.

Vanna says she has seen all the monuments around D.C.

During the credit, Pat and Vanna cheer about Wheel being voted America's game. To their worthy opponents? They both blow raspberries.
