From Navy Pier in Chicago, it's America's game! Let's get started with College Week!

None of our students would dare skip the first Toss-Up, would they?

$1,000 Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Travell says WHAT I, then stops.

Angela immediately rings in and solves WHAT DID I WIN?.

Angela	Julie	Travell
$1,000

What will this trio win?
Angela Possak: Junior at Purdue University studying public relations, might come back to Chicago to work for the Bears; from Highland, IN
Julie Benner: Senior at Northwestern University majoring in theatre, from Anchorage, KY
Travell Eyeland: Junior at Columbia College studying broadcast journalism, wants to work for a news magazine like 20/20 or Dateline, and he also won a speech competition that Oprah won; from Chicago

Public relations are one thing. Can you get along with our puzzle board? Another Toss-Up appears!

$2,000 Toss-Up

LIVING THING

Go!

LIVING THING

Julie solves THE STATE BIRD. (For no bonus, what's the state bird of Illinois? Travell says it's the Cardinal. Same for Indiana and Kentucky! "Apparently the state bird of every state!")

Angela	Julie	Travell
$1,000	$2,000

We're on the scene as Julie starts spinning the Wheel!

Round 1

TITLE

Angela	JULIE	Travell
	$600: T (DUD!)	$400: S (DUD!)

$900: N Lose A Turn!	$600: P (DUD!)	$500: L $400: C (DUD!)
$900		$500
$550: M $400: R $300: G Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$2,150

Julie tries to buy a vowel on her second turn! "Well, you have no money, Julie! It's a wonderful thought." "These college kids, today!"

TITLE

Angela solves MOULIN ROUGE.

Angela	Julie	Travell
$3,150	$2,000

Fortunately, Charlie does have a prize to show all of us, and we start this week with a Yahoo! Travel trip to Hawaii (labeled YAHOO! TRAVEL) worth $3,500.

How about a bigger puzzle and a nice "rouge" Jackpot space?

Round 2

SAME NAME

Angela	Julie	TRAVELL
		$300: T $3,500: M (DUD!)
		$300
$700: N -$250: I (x3) -$250: O (x2) $300: M (Repeat)	$800: L (DUD!)	Gift Tag: D $800: G -$250: A (x3) $3,500: R (x3!) $550: C (x2) BANKRUPT! ($13,450)
$200
$500: B BANKRUPT! ($700)	$700: C (Repeat)	$300: B (Repeat)

$600: S (x2) Solve: Correct!
$1,200

Pat walks up to Travell's podium to console him before taking away the Gift Tag from his big BANKRUPT.

...

And no, you're not crazy. They really did call three repeats in this round. The audience is laughing, and so is Julie!

Pat: Alright...once they're called, we shouldn't call them again! That would be kinda one of the rules here!

...

Angela: S.

Pat: Oh, a new one!

At least repeated consonant values are still added to the Jackpot.

SAME NAME

Angela finally solves GRADUATION & AEROBIC EXERCISES.

(And despite what happened, this is still not the most bizarre round of the season.)

Angela	Julie	Travell
$4,350	$2,000

Charlie might as well offer the same prize twice, but he knows better. He'll offer a Princess Cruises Mexican Riviera cruise (labeled PRINCESS) worth $6,300.

If that round wasn't sobering enough, the dangers of the one-third $10,000 space should be.

Round 3

THING

ANGELA	Julie	Travell
$900: N PRINCESS: G (DUD!)	Yahoo! Travel: T (DUD!)	$700: R $3,500: S (DUD!)
$900		$700
$700: P (x2) -$250: I -$250: E -$250: A (x4) $300: F (x2) BANKRUPT/$10K! ($2,150)	$300: C (x4) $900: D Solve: Correct!
	$2,100

THING

Julie solves A DECAF MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO to end a more ordinary round.

Angela	Julie	Travell
$4,350	$4,100

You might need all the caffeine you can get to focus on this Toss-Up!

$3,000 Toss-Up

FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

Go!

FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

Julie solves TARZAN AND JANE.

Angela	Julie	Travell
$4,350	$7,100

She'll swing into our next round.

Round 4

BEFORE & AFTER

DING DING! DING DING!

But watch out for that clock! Pat is paying attention, and he's giving the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! We're making up for past losses with this!

Julie: T ($6,000)
Travell: S ($6,000)
Angela: H ($6,000)
Julie: M (DUD!)
Travell: C (DUD!)
Angela: R (DUD!)
Julie: W ($12,000)
Travell: D (DUD!)
Angela: N (x2) ($18,000)
Julie: P (DUD!)
Travell: L (DUD!)
Angela: E ($18,000)
Julie: A (x2) ($12,000)
Travell: B (DUD!)
Angela: V ($24,000)

BEFORE & AFTER

Angela says VANNA WHITE, but she can't think of how to end it.

Julie: X ($18,000)

Only vowels left!

BEFORE & AFTER

Julie solves VANNA WHITE SOX for a bigger and better win!

Angela	Julie	Travell
$4,350	$25,100

Travell sure made it interesting, but he couldn't cash in. He now leaves with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Julie will get a bit closer to Vanna, and that might bring her good luck in Bonus Land, where she could win a car or cash. She could even take the $100,000!

Julie's also pretty close to Pat as she gives the Bonus Wheel a spin. She lands on the N in BONUS, and we have a puzzle ready.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

She gets one letter from MCAP, though it might be okay.

THING

Maybe not, as she does not solve JUICY FRUIT...

...so we can't double up with $25,000 more. Julie still goes home with an all-cash total of $25,100!

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna thank the University of Illinois band director Dr. Tom Caneva, as well as the Northwestern University Cheerleaders!
