From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Travel USA!
Another day, another destination...and still a skirt to be blown by this "wonderful" Toss-Up.
Go!
Cherie happily solves THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS.
Our three lucky players:
Cherie Crossley: Mother of one who watches game shows and collects Barbies, all in boxes, and she doesn't know how many she really has; from Savannah,FL GA (originally from Toledo, OH)
Sheldon McLaren (?): Firefighter/paramedic and father of seven, from Sylmar, CA
PJ Willis: Deputy sheriff who does cross-stitching, from San Diego, CA
Go!
PJ solves A BIG DECISION.
There's really only one thing PJ can do now, and that is to spin that darn Wheel!
Perfection! PJ solves THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW.
PJ reads what's on the board for the house minimum. "I feel like we've all had a trip down under." While she mispronounced Canberra, the show would've taken it either way.
We have another way to keep Sheldon entertained. Maybe he'd like a Mardi Gras parade and party in New Orleans with a stay at the Sheraton Hotel (labeled MARDI GRAS) worth $5,350.
Cherie solves CHILI DOG TRAINER.
Go!
Cherie rang in without confidence, but she still solves DADS AND GRADS.
We're disappointed that Pat couldn't ecstatically point out the $5,000 space like Charlie might be able to do.
Perfection! Cherie solves RAIN RAIN GO AWAY.
What do you mean come again another day? We have some time for another round!
DING DING! DING DING!
This is feeling a lot like yesterday. Five rounds, a little extra time, and now Pat's giving the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.
Sheldon: K ($2,250)
Sheldon says TOP DECK.
PJ: N (DUD!)
Only vowels left!
Cherie doesn't know it immediately, but she solves TIE RACK to beat the buzzer.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
FMDA includes a good vowel.

Pat quickly says to Cherie "I was so excited about getting your name, I blew the city." ...though he actually blew the state. 
We'll make up for that with some more Toss-Up money for more Barbies.

She won't have any decisions to make in this round...yet. Waiting her turn, she can only look at the wedge for a Panasonic Palmcorder camcorder and 36-inch high definition TV monitor (labeled ENTERTAINMENT) worth $3,000.
(Charlie is super excited about the number 3, as Pat points out.)
The real big decision is whether to solve for the Jackpot early or wait for a bigger pot to guarantee victory in the end.

BONUS ROUND:
Before Cherie has to get her jacket off the rack (if she had one), she's taking the walk to Bonus Land for one of these:
"The cash" ($25,000)
Jeep Wrangler Sport 4WD (over $22,000)
Infiniti QX4 (over $39,000)
2002 Mustang convertible (over $25,000)
Rain down the confetti! ($100,000!)

Cherie's smiling at the Bonus Wheel, and she's now gonna give it a spin! After stopping at the B in BONUS, she needs to solve this puzzle:

And you thought Dave from the last show wasn't ecstatic. Cherie just says A GRAB BAG, which turns out to be right, and she's hugging Pat before we see...
...that she has taken the $25,000! Cherie is heading home with an easy-to-remember total of $35,000!
In the post-game chat, we have some time left for Vanna's closing inspirational song. Actually, we're not getting a song, but Vanna says "Have a great day, and a great evening, and we'll see you tomorrow." It went very well!
