Clarissa isn't sure about her guess … but fortunately, she's right! And after her California trip, she'll cross THE INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE on her $8,400 journey to the SOUTH PACIFIC – specifically, the Fiji Sheraton Resort on Denarau Island, Fiji and the Hyatt Regency at Auckland Harbor in New Zealand (Sheraton Hotels & Resorts + Newmans South Pacific Vacations + Air Pacific). That's a $22,340 round for her!
NOTE: All of this week's PRIZE PUZZLE trips came with $1,000 spending cash.

…is of little use, and she has no guess. After a BLIZZARD of a $25,000 loss (and she initially declined to look at the envelope), she leaves with $29,190.
CHAT: Vanna heard a story about the show's origins. Merv Griffin was in the hospital, his sister visited him, they played hangman, and Merv got the idea to start a game show. (Pat heard that Wheel started when Merv was in the car entertaining his kids.)
Oh, and Pat states the obvious: a lot of puzzles this week (including 3 Bonus Puzzles) were themed to winter.
