From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to the Italian Festival Sweepstakes!

Remember to pick this Toss-Up while it's still fresh. Don't let it rot!

$1,000 Toss-Up

EVENT

Go!

EVENT

Moz solves A FAMILY GATHERING.

Moz	Charlie P.	Clover
$1,000

Visiting our house today:
Moz Binata: Studying to be a nutritionist and become a registered dietician to help others with cognitive impairment (she was affected by an auto accident), from San Diego, CA
Charlie Polisha: Works in public relations, from Myrtle Beach, SC
Clover Perry: Pediatric nurse at a free-standing children's hospital, from Hartford, CT

Charlie said that after he got the call from a roommate while he was surfing, and he's going to be on the show! He tried phoning his family later...and none of them were home! He knocked on his neighbors' doors, and they weren't home! So he ran to the beach and saw a random family, and he told them he was going to be on Wheel! Just strangers, huh?

They're already gathered here, and we'll go straight to another Toss-Up!

$2,000 Toss-Up

PLACE

Go!

PLACE

Clover solves ONE-WAY STREET.

Moz	Charlie P.	Clover

Hopefully, the only way for Clover is forward as she starts spinning the Wheel.

$5,250		$2,000

Moz might be pleased to win a prize like this: an Italiatour trip to Florence (labeled ITALIATOUR!) worth $4,200.

On the other five days of the week, you're here waiting for someone to win that Jackpot.

Round 2

PROPER NAME

For some reason, the yellow arrow starts flashing instead of the red one.

MOZ	Charlie P.	Clover

Clover excitedly reads what's on the board.

There's another way to score a quick $10,000, but it's a little scary.

Bonus Puzzle

ON THE MAP

RSTLNE gives her:

ON THE MAP

Moz says L second, but PCDI does a bit on the top.

ON THE MAP

She says MADIA near the end, but does not solve KODIAK ALASKA. Embarrassing, as she's going to Alaska next week.

Moz can't add the Ford Mustang convertible, so she leaves with a total of $22,600 in cash and prizes.
