From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Lap of Luxury Week!

The contestants are just as real as the cash.

That could buy us a lot of printer ink, though we won't want to spill it on our prize wedge with a Neiman Marcus shopping spree (labeled NEIMAN MARCUS) worth $5,000.
We'll give them a bigger puzzle, and we might also give someone a big Jackpot prize.

It might be a good spin at the Bonus Wheel! Ralph gives it a spin, stops at the 10,000's digit, and will try to solve this puzzle:

He says BEAUTY, but he does not solve BEAUTY MARK. He was blinded by Vanna's beauty...
...and he couldn't see a $50,000 win in his future. Ralph goes home with $14,000 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat questions why the contestant backdrop has a picture of Vanna's garage up there (It's not actually hers...nor is it a garage at all).
