Go!
George solves A BANNER YEAR.
These three don't need their poker face!
George Gray: Athletic supervisor for the Bensenville park district, also a part-time waiter...and wants to be an Elvis impersonator; from Chicago, IL
Melessa Hood: Junior at University of Alabama majoring in interior design, from Athens
Margie McGill: Retired escrow officer, also a grandmother who wants to become a computer nerd (and she's doing good); from Sun City, CA
Go!
Melessa rings in with silence.
George solves SIGN HERE PLEASE.
If only it was as easy as "land here, please", but that $10,000 space is a bit narrow. Still, be a gambler!
Margie solves FASHION DESIGNER GIORGIO ARMANI. She initially mispronounces it as "Giorgia" but corrects herself.
George reads what's on the board. Let's try for a $3,000 bonus by answering the clue, no risk involved!
He instantly identifies it as Cher.
Now comes the risk in the Mystery Round! We have two $500 wedges. Flip one over, and it could be a BANKRUPT, or it could be a Ford Ranger 4x2 regular cab worth $13,825.
George solves YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS GOOD LUCK.
Go!
She's hoping for a king-size payday in this round!
DING DING! DING DING!
However, she'll have to trust Pat, who will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Now Margie starts.
Margie: T (DUD!)
George: L ($1,600)
Melessa: R (x2) ($3,200)
Margie: N ($1,600)
George: M (DUD!)
Melessa: S (DUD!)

George: W (DUD!)
Melessa: F (DUD!)
Margie: Y (DUD!)
George: V (DUD!)
Melessa: J ($6,400)
Only vowels left!
Margie: A (x2) ($8,000)
Margie solves JALAPENO & DR PEPPER. It almost sounds like "jalapena", but it's good enough.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CDMA only fills in an obvious word.
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Viva Las Vegas!
Your odds of some Toss-Up money are pretty good.

Melessa figured out the answer just a bit too late, and that leaves her with only the $500 consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
Margie is taking the trip to Bonus Land! We've got cars and some good cash up to $100,000!
Now she gives the Bonus Wheel a good spin, and it lands on the green space. She's got one last puzzle:
