Go!
David says ST. LAWRENCE...then runs out of time.
Michelle takes a wild guess of ST. LAWRENCE SEAWAY ...and wins the money. "Whatever."
To finish the week:
Michelle Haro: Psychology major at Cal State University in Bakersfield, also does musicals and plays drums; she also says hello to her parents and sister, and she has a photo of her dog!
Derek Stansel: In the Air Force as an information manager, and he had no sense of smell since birth; from Honolulu, HI
David Lee: Third-year student majoring in economics, and hoping to take the LSAT in about a year to get into law school and do business law; from Gainesville, FL
Did Michelle guess that she would be spinning the Wheel first?
David solves COLD & SOUR CREAM, and with a lot more confidence than Michelle's Toss-Up.
If only we could fix that one-third $10,000 space. Somehow, we've still got a lot to learn.
Michelle solves KING ARTHUR AND MERLIN.
Go!
Derek says THE BACK DRAWER.
But since Michelle already solved one Toss-Up, she'll be the one to take the Wheel.
And she won't need to think about Toss-Up money if she hits the $5,000 space.
Derek solves THE LIFE OF THE PARTY, and with just one spin, he takes the lead!
DING DING! DING DING!
So David gets just that one spin. Now we give the Wheel to Pat, who also gets just one spin. Consonants are worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece.
David: L ($3,300)
Michelle: S (DUD!)
Derek: K (DUD!)
David: G (x2) ($6,300)
David solves NIGHTINGALE.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Our Spring Break ends soon.
Let's end this week right! Maybe we can solve this Toss-Up as fast as possible.

PHRASE | |||||||||||||||
He says YOU THE HOOK near the end, and while the last word works, it's incorrect. He does not solve POP THE HOOD...
...but he couldn't really do that with $25,000. Derek goes home with $10,000 in cash.
In the post-game chat, we return to the list of internet facts.
- "Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine are brother and sister."
- "Most lipstick contains fish scales." (Vanna is grossed out, and she doesn't know if that's true or not.)
- "The dot over the letter I is called a tittle." (Pat would just call it a dot.)
- "315 entries in Webster's 1996 dictionary were misspelled."
There may be more entries next week, but Pat doubts it.
