From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Can you say "Haleloke" to Goin' Hawaiian Week?

Maybe we just blew the first Toss-Up. Just in case, they'll put this puzzle on the board:

$1,000 Toss-Up

SHOW BIZ

Go!

SHOW BIZ

Amy solves BROADWAY TICKETS.

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry
	$1,000

With their admission to our game:
Amy Ribicki: Works for a men's tailor clothing company as a sales administrator, also a first-time aunt; from Westmont, IL
Jerry Sigala: Grade 1 teacher, from American Canyon, CA
Lindsay Nelson: Junior at University of Washington studying art history, and wants to travel as much as she can; from Kirkland

Pat asks Lindsay what people do with an art history degree, and Lindsay says they study the history of art. It goes downhill from there before they recover.

We got our "downhill" out of the way. Only good things can happen with this Toss-Up.

$2,000 Toss-Up

PLACE

Go!

PLACE

Jerry solves NATURE PRESERVE.

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry
	$1,000	$2,000

Don't even think of "preserving" that $10,000 prize in the darkness. Someone's gotta take it, and it could be Jerry!

Round 1

BEFORE & AFTER

Lindsay	Amy	JERRY
		Gift Tag: T (x2) $300: R (x2) $900: S (x3) -$250: E (x3) Free Spin: H -$250: A $300: N (DUD!)
		$2,800+
BANKRUPT! ($0)	$700: G -$250: O $300: F (x2) $900: K (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$2,850

Jerry puts the Gift Tag on his arrow at first. It is moved after the second spin.

Lindsay cheers "Woo!" to her BANKRUPT spin. "What can you do?"

BEFORE & AFTER

Amy solves KEEP OFF THE GRASS SKIRT. "Excellent advice."

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry (FS)
	$3,850	$2,000

Nobody can see if Charlie enjoys grass skirts. Regardless, our advice is to make him happy by winning a holiday at Outrigger Reef Hotels and Resorts (labeled HAWAII) worth $4,240.

At least Lindsay got to practice her enthusiastic reaction. We'll need her real reaction when she wins the Jackpot!

Round 2

PHRASE

LINDSAY	Amy	Jerry (FS)
$700: R (x2) $600: S (x2) -$250: E (x3) $900: P (DUD!)	$400: T (x3) -$250: I (x4) $700: H (x3) -$250: O (x2) Solve: Correct!
$2,350	$2,800

PHRASE

"I'll spin. STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT". That will spin Amy's total into something bigger with these new scoreboards.

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry (FS)
	$6,650	$2,000

That's because if you feel like solving something, it will be during our Mystery Round. Take a chance, and you risk finding a BANKRUPT, or could solve the Mystery for a Honda Civic worth $14,270!

Round 3

SAME NAME

Lindsay	AMY	Jerry (FS)
	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$900: N (x2) $400: R (DUD!) (Free Spin used) $300: S (x4) -$250: E (x2) HAWAII: B -$250: I -$250: U BANKRUPT! ($6,490)

$400: H $700: W -$250: O (x2) Solve: Wrong!
$850

SAME NAME

Lindsay slips and says MONEY & SHOW BUSINESS.

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry

	$800: M Prize?: K (She flips it... ...Honda Civic!) Solve: Correct!
$850	$800+

Amy said she'd flip the Mystery Wedge before calling her letter. "There'll be no flippin' until you call a letter."

SAME NAME

Amy solves MONKEY & SHOW BUSINESS to take the car! You never know around here!

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry
	$21,720	$2,000

There'll be no monkey business until this Toss-Up is started, if at all.

$3,000 Toss-Up

OCCUPATION

Go!

OCCUPATION

Amy solves ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR.

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry
	$24,720	$2,000

Amy will get back to her activities with the Wheel, preferably the $5,000 space.

Round 4

PROPER NAME

Lindsay	AMY	Jerry
	$800: N (x3) $300: T Lose A Turn!	BANKRUPT! ($0)
	$2,700
$400: S (x3) -$250: E (x2) $300: L (DUD!)
$950

PROPER NAME

DING DING! DING DING!

With time running short, we direct Pat to the Wheel so he can give it a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.

Amy: D ($4,300)
Jerry: R (x2) ($3,200)

PROPER NAME

Jerry solves TENNIS PRO ANDRE AGASSI.

Lindsay	Amy	Jerry
	$24,720	$5,200

Some people have all the luck, but Lindsay wasn't one of those people. She's now leaving with the $500 consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

Amy would certainly benefit from a Mystery flip halfway through, but now she'll benefit from one of our bonus prizes! Take a look at these:

VW convertible

2003 Corvette
Some "hula moolah" ($25,000-$50,000)

Or if she solves our final mystery? ($100,000!)

She has her sister and California cousins in the audience!

Let's try to unlock that mystery! Amy gives the Bonus Wheel a spin which stops at the I in WIN. Let's hula to that spot where we solve puzzles.

Bonus Puzzle

PLACE

RSTLNE gives her:

PLACE

DCMI only fills in the end.

PLACE

She says FUNBOARD and FIN, followed by SINWORLD after the buzzer. She does not solve JUNKYARD...

...though we're just going to put the Corvette Convertible back. Amy already has a car though, and she's leaving with $24,720 in total.

In the post-game chat, Pat has really big news! Vanna has a second cat named Jake! She had video, but she forgot to bring it in. She'll do it eventually, and one of his tricks is chasing a ball and bringing it back! Pat is speechless...
