Go!
Gary solves FLASH GORDON. Unfortunately, Gary's more of a Hulk fan.
Our heroes for today:
Gary Werks: Computer operator and short story writer, also working on his first screenplay; from Oakland, CA
Trina Colletti: Music supervisor and has supervised some reality shows on TV, from Los Angeles, CA (by way of Atlanta, GA)
Cindy Brown: Inventor of a sock brand (we'll never know which one due to Wheel policy), from Richmond, VA
Go!
Gary solves PEREGRINE FALCON.
Will Gary actually get that Botox if we wins the $10,000 prize? You'll never know.
Cindy solves THIS IS YOUR CAPTAIN SPEAKING. She also dropped a piece of jewelry in the excitement, and it's the first time that someone's solved and Pat has actually "won" something.
Cindy solves AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY.
One wonders why you can't spin again regardless after flipping in the Mystery Round. It's time to take that chance, with the risk of finding a BANKRUPT, or the reward of a Honda Civic worth $14,070.
Trina solves JAMES & U.S. SAVINGS BOND.
Go!
He hogs all the Toss-Ups, and he starts our next round.
DING DING! DING DING!
However, Pat's the one hogging the Wheel, because he has to give it a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Gary begins.
Gary: N ($1,600)
Trina: S (DUD!)
Cindy: T (x4) ($6,400)
Gary: H (x2) ($4,800)
Trina: C ($1,600)
Cindy: W (DUD!)
Gary: D (x2) ($8,000)
Gary solves DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL. "By the way, in the age of remote television, when is the last time even touched a dial? Do they even have dials? I don't even know."
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is American Travel Week!
Don't say something you'll regret during this Toss-Up!

Gary also claims to always have a smile on his face. "It's the poor man's Botox. I can't afford to have plastic surgery, so I gotta keep the smile going."
Are we expecting a generic Toss-Up right now? We already had a name for the first one.

If Cindy wanted something shiny, she might be attracted to the Jackpot space.

BONUS ROUND:
Who needs a Wheel? Just a trio of Toss-Ups and a little Speed-Up were enough to take Gary to Bonus Land. He now looks at...
Nissan 350Z
Acura MDX luxury SUV (over $38,000)
Acura MDX luxury SUV (over $38,000)
Get your hand on some cash ($25,000-$50,000)
Or carry it all home! ($100,000!)
There is one wheel that Gary must spin to win, and it's the Bonus Wheel! His spin lands on the I in WIN, and solving a puzzle isn't a foreign concept to him.

He thinking GKBO...
...and sadly, Vanna's not touching anything.
He says FLOCK WINGS, BLOCK WINGS, and SLACKS...but at least he makes good sound effects, and everyone laughs. He does not solve PLAID PAJAMAS...
...and sadly, Gary's not touching the Nissan 350Z. He'll still be leaving with an all-cash total of $14,000.
In the post-game chat, Pat asks if Vanna wears "jammies" to bed, and she doesn't. How about a hat? Actually, we'll just leave the conversation at that.
