From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Are we enjoying Great Getaways Week?
Don't let this trio get away!
Greg Thompson: Electrical engineer; he and his wife are expecting their first child in January; from Marietta, GA
Lisa Westland: Field support rep with a lease marketing company, from San Diego, CA
Katherine Covington: Mother of five sons (all alumni at the University of North Carolina), from High Point
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, which we've secured in its comfy spot. Try for it after we introduce our first puzzle!
Lisa solves MIKE MYERS AS AUSTIN POWERS. Let's not do anything silly, and we'll just grab that $3,000 Puzzler bonus.
She already knows it's YEAH BABY. Pat wanted to make it interesting.
Yeah, baby! We've added the $2,500 space and $10,000 prize to the Wheel!
Perfection! Lisa solves SIDE-BY-SIDE REFRIGERATOR FREEZER.
Katherine solves DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
Lisa solves UMBRELLA & FRUIT STAND.
It's raining money for Lisa, and she gets to start our next round!
Perfection! Lisa solves PARTICIPANTS.
Katherine and Greg have another chance to participate, as we have room for another round!
DING DING! DING DING!
It might come back to Katherine, but Pat will have to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Greg: S ($500)
Lisa: T (x2) ($1,000)
Lisa solves TENNIS MATCH.

After playing in "nearly record time", we must freeze so that Charlie can tell us about a wine country holiday at Roman Spa Resort and Calistoga Oasis Spa (labeled WINE COUNTRY) worth $5,000.
We're thinking we shouldn't have pulled the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces apart from each other last year...

Seattle plus Sea Ray 190 Cuddy Cabin (over $30,000)

"The cash" ($25,000)
She rushes to the envelopes and takes the L for "Lisa". Show us the puzzle, already!

She whispers some guesses to herself but does not solve HUNGARY. She is "hungry", Pat is "Czechoslovakia"...
...but Lisa is not taking the Canada & Mercedes prize. She wanted that, so Pat gives her the envelope. Lisa still leaves with $24,750 in cash.
(Pat didn't show enough of the envelope, so just before the break, someone offstage asks him to open it again. "They're always yellin' at me, here.")
In the post-game chat, Vanna reminds us that they'll be at Universal Studios in Florida next week. There's still a few more days at Sony before the trip.
