From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! More of our variety week as we now go on a Shopping Spree!
Time for a Toss-Up, and time for you to show us how to solve one of these darn things!
Go!
Tamicha solves PENNY PINCHER.
Soon to be pinching thousand dollar bills:
Tamicha Paige: In the Army as a UH-60 Black Hawk crew chief, from Clarksville, TN
Denise Clomp: Instructional designer (writes the curriculum for people to do their jobs), also writes poetry and short stories; from Santa Ana, CA
Derek Paplauskas: PC repairman, from Waterbury, CT
Go!
Denise solves FILL THE BILL.
We'll check if Denise fills the bill for hitting our $10,000 space that doesn't fill the whole wedge.
Derek solves NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.
Tamicha solves LET THE BUYER BEWARE OF THE DOG to snatch the shopping spree.
In the Mystery Round, let the spinner beware of those two spaces if they want to be. They'll know that there's a chance of a BANKRUPT, but remember there's also a chance to win a Hyundai Accent worth $11,934!
Derek solves JOHN GRAY'S MEN ARE FROM MARS WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS.
Go!
Derek solves PARKING ATTENDANT.
This is a great time to spin with a $5,000 space parked on the Wheel!
DING DING! DING DING!
Someone's parking meter is about to expire, so Pat will speed this up with a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.
Tamicha solves I MUST BE DREAMING. Too bad we couldn't dream of a better number.

BONUS ROUND:
Derek might still be thinking this is a dream, but he's really here in Bonus Land! And these are some real prizes, one of which could be his:
2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder convertible
2003 Nissan Pathfinder (over $37,000)
Lots of meter money ($25,000-$50,000)
Lots of meter money ($25,000-$50,000)
Or the cash you've been dreaming of! ($100,000!)
After he decides whether or not to spin the Wheel clockwise, his envelope is in the 1,000's digit. All he needs to do now is solve this puzzle:

LIVING THING | |||||||||||||||
There's a lot of space for MDBI to fill...
...or the space can just be left unfilled.
He says PILLAR and ROVER. He does not solve COUGAR...
...and he can only keep dreaming about the $25,000 ("Well, it's only $25,000.") After a laugh, Derek goes home with $11,850 in cash.
Pat wonders in the post-game chat if Vanna was a player and she got to the Bonus Round what category she'd like to see. She likes On The Map. Living Thing is not a bad one. Pat says that the more restrictive the category, the more that he'd be happy, rather than Thing, which could be so general. How about UN Secretary Generals Named Kofi? That's one that Pat could do.
