Hilary solves A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA.

Andy	Jennifer	Hilary

Some of us wonder if Charlie knows everything. He sure knows a lot about our prizes including a laptopmania.com gift certificate featuring Sony laptop and major brands (labeled COLLEGE STUFF) worth $3,000!

There's not much to learn about with the Jackpot space. It's just a growing mountain of cash, and you solve immediately after calling a letter. Simple as that.

"Doggone it. The good news is that you landed on $3,500. The bad news? There is no S."

JACKPOT! Jennifer solves MATT DAMON AND BEN AFFLECK, and good news for her, she scores a $13,400 pot!

Andy	Jennifer	Hilary
	$18,300	$1,500

All that cash could buy a nice prize, but the rules are that you have to spin if you want to win a Yahoo! Travel trip to Mazatlan (labeled YAHOO! TRAVEL) worth $3,500.

The good news is that there's a $10,000 prize on the Wheel. You already know the bad news surrounding it.

Go!

ON THE MAP

Andy solves THE BRITISH ISLES.

Andy	Jennifer	Hilary
$3,000	$18,300	$3,350

BONUS ROUND:

No superhero powers required to make it to Bonus Land! Jennifer's here, and she's going to spin for a car or some cash. Will she hit the $100,000?

Jennifer spins the Wheel, and we take the envelope from the I in WIN. Now for a bonus puzzle!

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

HKMO gives her some good letters.

PHRASE

She says HAND TOUCH and HAND TOOTH. She does not solve HANG TOUGH...

...and it's tough to see there was $25,000 inside. Pat could make her feel a little better; he walks to the Bonus Wheel, and one space away at the N, there was $100,000 inside. She could've been disappointed about that.

Jennifer is still happy with $22,800 in cash!

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna are ready with a table and plenty of deep-dish pizza! Do you know what makes it a deep-dish pizza? They put the cheese on the crust first, then they put the other ingredients and the sauce on. The results? Actually, Pat apologizes for being cruel, as only the duo can enjoy it but not the audience. It's in their contract.
