From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Let's finish our variety week with a trip to Manhattan!
Go!
Ava solves THE CORNER DELI.
Time to feed our last trio of the week!
Ava Anderson: Receptionist at a law firm, also an NBA trading card and Barbie collector (the latter all the same color except for Vanna White); from Richmond, VA
Barbara Dowling: Author ("an actual author", according to Pat), also a reader herself; from Scottsdale, AZ
Brian Landici: Future sophomore at Loyola Marymount University majoring in English and Spanish, wants to teach himself and be a principal; from Glendale, CA
Go!
Brian solves FLEXIBLE TOOTHBRUSH.
We clean up the Wheel with more than a toothbrush, we decorate it with a one-third $10,000 space, and we're ready to go...
Ava solves COW'S MILK DUDS.
Perfection! Ava solves BRAD PITT & JENNIFER ANISTON, and with that score, it's a better time to meet up with Pat!
A marriage between two Mystery Wedges, one good and one evil. The latter hides a BANKRUPT underneath it, while the former hides a Toyota Echo worth $12,916.
Ava solves I'VE GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS.
Go!
Ava solves THE HUDSON RIVER.
She's doing really well, and a $5,000 spin will make Ava's day even better!
DING DING! DING DING!
Not much room for error now, as Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.
Barbara: V ($3,550) (She tries to call N after that.)
Brian: N (x2) ($3,200)
Ava: A (x3)
Barbara: P (DUD!)
Brian: L ($4,800)
Brian solves LANDMARK ACHIEVEMENT.

It wouldn't have been "landmark" for Barbara, but it would've been something. We're done with the main game, and now she leaves with the $500 consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
Now is the time for a landmark achievement! Ava takes the walk to Bonus Land, where she can win any of these:
2003 Land Rover Discovery SE (over $39,000)
Audi TT coupe (over $34,000)
Audi TT coupe (over $34,000)
"Feel good" cash ($25,000-$50,000)
Or make it a landmark win! ($100,000!)
We don't know if Ava will show us a historically strong spin, but she'll spin the Bonus Wheel and stop at the O in BONUS. Let's finish with this puzzle:

She's quick to pick CMDO...
...and it's quick to backfire.
She's silent and does not solve FAIRBANKS, she turns her back on Pat...
...and just as quickly, the $50,000 disappears. Pat decides to wait and see how long Ava can hold her position before looking. She still leaves with $19,750 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Vanna asks if Pat has been to Fairbanks. He has, and it's a lovely city. Alaska's a great state. It might not be for everybody...especially those who cruise the Mediterranean.
