From the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, it's America's game!

Try to catch this Toss-Up! It's easier than catching a fish at the Farmers Market.

$1,000 Toss-Up

OCCUPATION

Go!

OCCUPATION

James solves EDITOR IN CHIEF.

Delynn	Sarita	James
		$1,000

Ready to make headlines:
James Keenan, Jr.: Personal coordinator at a major silicon chip corporation, from Lacey (originally from North Carolina)
Delynn Manthey: Bartender for 22 years and counting, also a drag racer; from Marysville
Sarita Ternilla (Audience pick!): Student at the Art Institute of Seattle majoring in graphic design (originally from Maui)

We're ready to "publicize" another Toss-Up on the puzzle board.

$2,000 Toss-Up

RHYME TIME

Go!

RHYME TIME

James solves NUTTER BUTTER. As he claps, his name tag slips sideways before falling off.

Delynn	Sarita	James
		$3,000

He hopes that his flipper won't slip out of that one-third $10,000 space and into trouble...

Round 1

EVENT

Delynn	Sarita	JAMES
		$300: S (DUD!)

$300: N (x2) -$250: E $10,000!: T -$250: A Free Spin: R (x2) $600: S (Repeat) (Free Spin used) $800: G -$250: O -$250: I (x2) Solve: Correct!
$400+

Delynn's S repeat was not acknowledged as a duplication.

EVENT

Delynn solves TOURING A WINERY to take the gold and the lead! "That's a lot of tips."

Delynn	Sarita	James
$10,400		$3,000

While we have a drink or two, it's time to add a prize to the Wheel. This will be a safari adventure to South Africa including Cape Town Waterfront, Sun City, and the Royal Livingstone on the Zambezi (labeled SAFARI) worth $6,718.

Can Delynn cash in with the Jackpot space? Or is it someone else's turn? Either way, we need to remind Pat that it's not the "Bonus Round".

Round 2

BEFORE & AFTER

DELYNN	Sarita	James
$450: T (x3) $300: S -$250: E -$250: A -$250: I (x3) BANKRUPT! ($900)	$900: B $400: R (DUD!)	$550: L (x3) $450: Y Solve: Correct!
	$900	$2,100

BEFORE & AFTER

James solves UTILITY BILL GATES.

Delynn	Sarita	James
$10,400		$5,100

We don't think you've had enough surprises, so here's our Mystery Round. Two spaces are on the Wheel, and one of them has a BANKRUPT under it, while one has a Ford Ranger 4x2 regular cab worth $13,175.

Round 3

THING

Delynn	SARITA	James
	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$550: S $450: R Prize?: N (x3) (He flips it... ...BANKRUPT! ($1,000))

$500: T $400: H -$250: I (x3) $800: W -$250: A (x2) BANKRUPT! ($1,200)	$800: D (x3) $500: V (DUD!)	$800: L (x6) Solve: Correct!
	$2,400	$4,800

THING

"Oh, I'm solving this!" James solves GRILLED SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL.

Pat: You know, you have that with a couple of Nutter Butters, and you got quite a meal there.

Delynn	Sarita	James
$10,400		$9,900

That's the spirit! Now, you just need to solve this Toss-Up. James could take the lead!

$3,000 Toss-Up

SHOW BIZ

Go!

SHOW BIZ

Delynn solves OPENING NIGHT to protect her lead.

Delynn	Sarita	James
$13,400		$9,900

If she can keep control, there's a $5,000 space calling her name!

Round 4

AROUND THE HOUSE

DELYNN	Sarita	James
BANKRUPT! ($0)	$300: T (DUD!)	$400: S $600: R (x2)
		$1,600

AROUND THE HOUSE

DING DING! DING DING!

Not enough to overtake Delynn just yet. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece!

James: L ($7,600)

AROUND THE HOUSE

James solves HARDWOOD FLOORS to steal the victory!

Delynn	Sarita	James
$13,400		$17,500

We could've at least given Sarita a better chance. She's now going home with the $500 consolation prize. (Pat is still used to saying "nice parting gifts".)

BONUS ROUND:

Good to know James can solve non-food puzzles as well. We can be confident he'll solve one more in Bonus Land to win one of...

Mercedes C230 (over $28,000)

Ford Expedition

"Plenty of green" ($25,000-$50,000)

Or make the crowds envy you! ($100,000!)

Let's try to spin and win! James takes the Bonus Wheel, and his spin lands on the A in CASH. Vanna is ready!

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives him:

THING

CGBI only lights up a vowel, but in a good spot.

THING

It is a good spot! He instantly solves SKI JUMP...

...and he's jumping into $25,000! James leaves with $42,500 in cash!

In the post-game chat, Pat once again reminds us that shows are taped ahead of time. He doesn't know how the weather will be as the shows air...but he and Vanna have never seen rain! It's always pretty! Does it ever rain, or are they just missing it! Is it just a rumor started by some rival city?
