From Navy Pier in Chicago, it's America's game!
First week, last day, first Toss-Up...last letter reveal? We think not!
Go!
Bob solves A JAZZ FESTIVAL.
Our last trio of the week:
Bob Marshall: Physician, though he started late in life at 47; from Chicago
Margaret McDermott: Assistant general manager of a very well known chain restaurant, from Chicago
Michael Burke: Police Department sergeant, claiming that his first beat was in Pat's old neighborhood; also from Chicago!
Go!
Margaret solves THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.
I've got an idea! Why doesn't Margaret spin the Wheel right now?
Bob solves COSMOPOLITAN.
Bob solves PLEASE PASS THE BUTTER ME UP.
Margaret solves COCKTAIL & CEMENT MIXER. She suddenly drops a good-luck photo of herself sleeping on the couch with her cocker spaniel.
Go!
Bob solves FUZZY WUZZY before his name is called.
Why would we want the $5,000 space to be fuzzy? We wouldn't be able to see it shine!
DING DING! DING DING!
Great. "Boo the host" just as he has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! "Yeah. Now, boo me!"
Bob: H ($6,000) (He thinks of guessing something.)
Margaret: C ($6,300)
Michael: M (DUD!)
Bob: P ($1,200) (He may have tried to call X after that.)
Margaret: O (x3) ($6,300)
Margaret solves VACATION PHOTOS for enough to win the game!
BONUS ROUND:
She wants to finish the week with a win. Margaret's spin lands on the C in CASH, and we have our last puzzle of the week.
RSTLNE gives her:
CDMI all make the board!

Michael certainly doesn't want a photo of himself above a blank scoreboard. With no more time, he takes home the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Margaret might be able to get a good photo in Bonus Land after solving for cash or a car! She can get an even better one if she wins the $100,000!
She wants to finish the week with a win. Margaret's spin lands on the C in CASH, and we have our last puzzle of the week.

In the post-game chat, Pat says that College Week is coming up next week, with colleges all around the Midwest.
