Airdate: February 21, 2003
From the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, it's America's game! One more Country Music Stars show before sundown...
...but we'll still light up a few more puzzles on this board. Want to play a Toss-Up?
Go!
Denise & Billy Ray solve LUCK OF THE DRAW.
Our final country fans:
Denise Sloan: Elementary school teacher, from Nashville
Tom Stepho: Retired from the Air Force and now a government worker, from Fayetteville
Jim Wilkins: Father of two, from Franklin
And our final country stars:
BILLY RAY CYRUS (playing for the Billy Ray Cyrus Charities Foundation for kids around the world)
PAM TILLIS (playing for Christian Children's Fund)
BARBARA MANDRELL (playing for Nashville Humane Society and Happy Tails Humane Society)
Go!
Denise & Billy Ray solve BARNES & NOBLE.
It doesn't take a bookworm to spin the $10,000 prize, though you could buy a lot of books with all that money.
Pat bets they're gonna stop spinning after a close one. Jim & Barbara solve RED-BLOODED AMERICANS.
Tom & Pam just solve COWBOY SHIRTS AND LEATHER BOOTS for the money they have.
Now for one final ride into the unknown. One more Mystery Round for the trip, and one more team could find a BANKRUPT or a Ford Ranger pickup worth $13,825.
Jim & Barbara solve MR. POTATO HEAD OF LETTUCE, and Jim has a new pickup truck!
Go!
Appropriately, Jim solves ACCORDING TO JIM.
According to Pat, we have another round to play!
DING DING! DING DING!
And according to our producer, Pat needs to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. The reds begin.
Jim & Barbara: R (DUD!)
Denise & Billy Ray: T ($1,300) (Pam tries to call N during this turn.)
Denise & Billy Ray: G (DUD!)
Tom & Pam: F (Repeat?)
Jim & Barbara: A (x2)
Denise & Billy Ray: W (x2) ($3,900)
Denise & Billy Ray solve TOW-AWAY ZONE.
Billy Ray and Pam each get the $10,000 minimum for their charities.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
Jim gets PLUTO, and he thinks PLUTO & DAISY. The audience groans as they could not solve PLUTO & GOOFY...
...the first of which is gonna be growling at Pat as he has to open the envelope. This is not how to end a road trip, but they missed out on...
$100,000.

So much for "the home of the brave"...unless you can summon up the courage to spin for a Wheel of Fortune customized Gibson Pure Les Paul guitar (labeled GUITAR) worth $3,500?
But it's okay if you're saving up that courage for the Jackpot space instead.

After we tow away the two competing teams, this leaves Jim & Barbara to solve one last puzzle. One last chance to win a car or cash up to $100,000!
We'll give that Bonus Wheel a spin for the last time, and Jim's spin lands on the 1,000's digit. We end the trip with this puzzle:

$100,000.
Doubly painful for Barbara. Jim still leaves with $20,075 in cash and car, and Barbara takes the cash equivalent for charity.
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna thank the stars one last time.
