From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We begin Teen Best Friends Week!

Grab your little Toss-Up devices, but try not to fight over who solves it. The money is more important.

Christie & Alexis solve DESIGNER JEANS.

		$1,000

Today's teams:
Christie & Alexis: Friends for 10 years and juniors at La Jolla High School. Christie is a cheerleader and part of a singing group, and Alexis plays lacrosse and golf, and she also plays the trumpet.
Hannah & Peri: Friends since kindergarten and students at Granada Hills High School, and they shop and go to the movies and everything together (Don't tell mom!). Hannah is also part of a golf team.
Joe & Anthony: Known each other for 5 years and students at Trabuco Hills High School. They also play football, but Anthony admits that Joe is the better player. Both are from Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

Who's going to fit perfectly into this Toss-Up?

Hannah & Peri	Joe & Anthony	Christie & Alexis
	$7,100	$1,000

You can't really fit this prize on your desk, but it's a nice one. Try for a Resort Quest ski vacation in Aspen (labeled COLORADO) worth $5,500.

A mountain of cash is waiting for you if you can solve for the Jackpot.

SLOGAN

JACKPOT! Joe & Anthony solve OBEY YOUR THIRST for the $7,000 pot! They can take an extra sip with a $3,000 bonus for identifying whose slogan it is.

They quickly say Gatorade. Close, but it's actually from Sprite.

Hannah & Peri	Joe & Anthony	Christie & Alexis
	$15,050	$1,000

Are you hungry for a little Mystery? We've got two $500 spaces, and under one of them is a BANKRUPT, but the other has a Sony Style gift certificate worth $10,000.

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

Actually, we're a bit short of time, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. "Consonants are gonna worth" $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. The yellow team begins!

Joe & Anthony: T (DUD!)
Christie & Alexis: L (x2) ($3,200)
Hannah & Peri: V ($1,600)
Joe & Anthony: I (They try to call an E after that.)
Christie & Alexis: S (x2) ($6,400)

PHRASE

Christie & Alexis solve I'VE LEARNED MY LESSON.

Hannah & Peri	Joe & Anthony	Christie & Alexis
$5,500	$18,050	$7,400

BONUS ROUND:

Joe & Anthony didn't really have to learn anything the hard way. They're in Bonus Land to play for one of...

Land Rover Freelanders (over $60,000)

Volkswagen Beetles (over $35,000)

Talk about that cash! ($25,000-$50,000)

Or be students of the year! ($100,000!)

Anthony gives the Bonus Wheel a big spin, and he stops at the H in cash. We've got a puzzle for them:

They do not solve CURFEW. Joe says he "just got it", possibly meaning he figured out the answer too late.

This means they can't take the $25,000. Joe & Anthony leaves with $18,050 in cash and Gift Tag.

Pat and Vanna are sad that the families couldn't get on, but they show them anyway to be nice. (Probably the moms and smaller siblings?)

I literally just discovered this episode yesterday.

The bonus puzzle was used 3 years later, but the contestant lost $40K.

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.

Now that's not so pleasant of a nickname ain't it?
