Pharaoh solves SATURDAY & SUNDAY.

These three will have to wait a long time for that.

Melissa Hill: Works at a daycare center (and says hi to all the kids), from Wasco, CA (the rose capital of the world)

Rosemarie Brown: Showgirl, from Las Vegas, NV (originally from England)

Rosemarie also demonstrates that she can wiggle her ears during the interview!

Of course, with more Toss-Up money, you could make any of these five days a "weekend".

PERSON

Melissa solves A LATE RISER.

Rosemarie	Pharaoh	Melissa

Rosemarie	Pharaoh	Melissa
$3,150	$6,950	$10,550

Round 5

PLACE

ROSEMARIE	Pharaoh	Melissa
$300: T (x2)
$600

PLACE

DING DING! DING DING!

...or maybe this sound will startle them, and it reminds Pat that he needs to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $900 + $1,000 for $1,900 a piece.

Rosemarie: R ($2,500)
Pharaoh: H ($1,900)

Rosemarie	Pharaoh	Melissa
$3,150	$6,950	$12,450

BONUS ROUND:

While Melissa has made it to Bonus Land, we can't have her directly raiding our storage for prizes. She's going to have to take an envelope and find:

"The cash" ($25,000)

Volkswagen Cabrio (over $23,000)

2002 Volvo C70 convertible (over $49,000)
Lexus convertible (over $62,000)
Clean out the studio! ($100,000!)

Now's the chance for Melissa to spin the Bonus Wheel (remembering to go clockwise and at least once around), and she lands on the 100's digit. This may be Vanna's chance to put up a good puzzle.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

MDCI only light up the first and last.

PHRASE

She can't think of what the ~~first~~ second word is. She does not solve IT WON'T BUG ME...

...and we have to bug her by revealing the $25,000. Melissa is still good with $12,450 in cash and Gift Tag.

In the post-game chat, Vanna remembers that a contestant wiggled her ears at the beginning of the show. Pat said he could do it, but since he didn't do it during the interviews, he'll do it now. We get a close up, and he impresses! Does Vanna care to wiggle anything before heading off? No.
