From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Desert Oasis Week!

You could skip this Toss-Up if you wanted, but you'd be missing out on some easy money.

$1,000 Toss-Up

TITLE

Go!

TITLE

Dave impresses by solving THE LITTLE MERMAID.

Dave	Scott	Tammy
$1,000

Our trio from under the sea:
Dave Gilmore: Certified trainer with a lot of bodybuilding titles, from West Hollywood, CA (originally from D.C.)
Scott Davis: Accountant with the local hospital system, from Pembroke Pines, FL
Tammy Frasier: Works for a realty company, from Yorktown, VA

Just a little more free money before we start spinning. Who'd like to play another Toss-Up?

$2,000 Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Tammy solves LOCK STOCK AND BARREL.

Dave	Scott	Tammy
$1,000		$2,000

Tammy's not trying to hit every space on the Wheel, though. You can avoid the bad spots.

Round 1

PROPER NAME

Dave	Scott	TAMMY
		$400: T (DUD!)

$800: L $300: R (x3) -$250: E (x2) -$250: I $600: D -$250: A (x2) $450: G Solve: Correct!
$2,000

PROPER NAME

Dave solves GERALDO RIVERA.

Dave	Scott	Tammy
$3,000		$2,000

Now for a lesson in score building. One way for Dave to do it is by picking up a Novica.com handcrafting shopping spree (labeled SHOPPING) worth $2,500.

His lesson about the Jackpot space is that you need to solve right after your letter call.

Round 2

WHERE ARE WE?

DAVE	Scott	Tammy
BANKRUPT! ($0)	$800: S (x2) $300: T (x8) -$250: E (x6) $3,500: H (x4!) -$250: A (x2) -$250: O (x3) Jackpot: R (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$17,250

WHERE ARE WE?

JACKPOT! Scott solves THEATER THAT'S HOME TO THE ROCKETTES to add $9,600 to his already huge cash total. The $3,000 bonus for answering where we are is just the sprinkles on top.

He thinks, and he scores some sprinkles with his answer of Radio City Music Hall.

Dave	Scott	Tammy
$3,000	$29,850	$2,000

Well, that's our show, because Scott's even starting this round. Right away, we could just give him a holiday at Furnace Creek Inn in Death Valley (labeled DEATH VALLEY) worth $3,840.

Even with that score, he may still worry about certain death surrounding the one-third $10,000 space.

Round 3

AROUND THE HOUSE

Dave	SCOTT	Tammy
	$800: T $700: H -$250: E $3,500: S -$250: A (DUD!)	$900: R -$250: E (Repeat)
	$4,500	$650
$400: L (x4) $400: G (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($4,500)	-$250: O (x3) $300: W (x3) $900: P -$250: I (x2) $300: F $300: D (x2) Solve: Correct!
$1,600		$2,850

AROUND THE HOUSE

Tammy solves DOWN-FILLED THROW PILLOWS.

Dave	Scott	Tammy
$3,000	$29,850	$4,850

Scott's competition probably needs some rest before the challenge they face, but they must still remember that Toss-Ups are important for control.

$3,000 Toss-Up

PLACE

Go!

PLACE

Tammy solves A FRENCH CASTLE.

Dave	Scott	Tammy
$3,000	$29,850	$7,850

She's a long way from stealing the crown, but the $5,000 space could help her move forward.

Round 4

BEFORE & AFTER

Dave	Scott	TAMMY
		BANKRUPT! ($0)

$550: T -$250: E (x2) $550: L (x2) -$250: I (x2) -$250: O (DUD!)	$500: N BANKRUPT! ($500)
$900

BEFORE & AFTER

DING DING! DING DING!

Well, Tammy's time has run out, and Pat is now the one to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth ~~DEATH VALLEY~~ $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.

Tammy: D ($1,300)
Dave: K (DUD!)
Scott: S (x2) ($2,600)
Tammy: H (DUD!)
Dave: R ($2,200)
Scott: M ($3,900)
Tammy: J (x2) ($3,900)
Dave: W (DUD!)
Scott: A (x3) ($3,900)

BEFORE & AFTER

Scott solves TRAFFIC JAMS & JELLIES.

Dave	Scott	Tammy
$3,000	$33,750	$7,850

BONUS ROUND:

Scott's on the freeway to Bonus Land! He could take the freeway home in a new car, or he could head back with some cash. Who knows where he could go or what he could do with $100,000?

Think positive, Scott, and spin that Bonus Wheel! The spin lands on the 10,000's digit, and the puzzle pops up on the board:

Bonus Puzzle

THINGS

RSTLNE gives him:

THINGS

The mostly common CDMI only gives him this:

THINGS

He says WIDGETS, JACKETS, HEIGHTS, and FIGHTS. He does not solve HABITS...

...and Pat still has a bad habit of revealing a $25,000 loss to the player. Don't cry about Scott, as he's still heading home with an all-cash total of $33,750!

In the post-game chat, Vanna asks if Pat is sure, and he says yes. Word discussions. If you run a restaurant, you're known as a "restaurateur". Vanna didn't know that, but that's the correct spelling! Did you know that? Not only is this show entertaining, it's very educational.
