From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We'll end our variety week, but not before some Cruisin' Fun!

Set your sights on the Toss-Up board, and you could win some money!

$1,000 Toss-Up

PLACE

Go!

PLACE

Brian solves SECLUDED BEACH.

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$1,000

Keeping their shoes on during this game:
Brian Mullens: Sophomore at MIT studying management science, also an ice hockey ref, and he has firefighting ambitions; from East Williston, NY

Jayne Barrett: Tech recruiter, also goes to the movies ("Do you object to the word 'buff'?"); from Marina del Rey, CA (originally from Long Island)

Keep those Toss-Up devices in your hand, because there's more money to be won!

$2,000 Toss-Up

AROUND THE HOUSE

Go!

AROUND THE HOUSE

Brian solves WASHER & DRYER.

Pat: Let me see that thumb! That's very- It's like a firefighter's thumb!
Brian: Yeah. Lots of video games, actually.

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$3,000

We've cleaned the Wheel just for him, and in return, he can bleach those dark patches off the one-third $10,000 space.

Round 1

PHRASE

BRIAN	Denise	Jayne
$500: N (DUD!)	$300: R $450: T (DUD!)	$400: S $400: L -$250: A (x2) $300: C (x2) $900: M Solve: Correct!
	$300	$2,350

PHRASE

Jayne solves COOL AS A CUCUMBER.

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$3,000		$2,350

They can get exhausted after all that spinning, and it's our moment to add a prize, anyway. Here's a cruise to Tahiti with Radisson Seven Seas Cruises (labeled CRUISE) worth $10,490!

After cooling yourselves off, it's time to heat up that Jackpot value!

Round 2

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Brian	DENISE	Jayne
	Gift Tag: N (Stopped spin) (Reset to $700) Jackpot: T (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)
	+
$400: R (x3) -$250: I -$250: A (x6) $400: L $400: M (DUD!)	$600: Y (x3) Solve: Correct!
$1,100	$1,800+

Denise forgot to pick up the Gift Tag and spun again, but Pat stopped her and spun it backwards to the correct space.

FILL IN THE NUMBER

Denise thinks of spinning, but with the Gift Tag, she changes her mind and solves IN A LEAP YEAR FEBRUARY HAS ## DAYS. $3,000 in easy money will come to her if she fills in the number!

She takes the lead by filling in the number 29. She actually wasn't sure of that number.

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$3,000	$5,800	$2,350

As we play our Mystery Round, do you commit to flipping over that space, or do you change your mind? It could be a BANKRUPT, or it could be a Kia Spectra GS worth $11,890.

Round 3

BEFORE & AFTER

Brian	Denise	JAYNE
		CRUISE: S (DUD!)

$300: R (x3) -$250: E (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	Prize?: T (She flips it... ...BANKRUPT! ($0))
$650
$400: N -$250: O (x3) $300: P $400: F (x2) $900: G -$250: I -$250: U (DUD!)	$600: L (x2) Solve: Correct!
$2,300	$1,200

BEFORE & AFTER

Denise solves PORT OF CALL FORWARDING.

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$3,000	$7,000	$2,350

We have forwarded our next Toss-Up to the puzzle board for Vanna!

$3,000 Toss-Up

RHYME TIME

Go!

RHYME TIME

Denise solves OUT AND ABOUT.

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$3,000	$10,000	$2,350

That's a nice even total, but we could double or triple that with a $5,000 spin and a solve!

Round 4

EVENTS

Brian	DENISE	Jayne
	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$600: N (x5) -$250: A (x2) $300: D (x3) -$250: E $550: R -$250: O (DUD!)
		$3,700
$700: C $300: G Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,000

Pat had to remind Denise that you get the first turn after solving the Toss-Up. And then she spins BANKRUPT. "Admittedly, sometimes, that turn doesn't last very long."

And after dudding with the O, Jayne knew what the answer was.

EVENTS

Brian solves DINNER AND DANCING. "Sure, let Jayne do all the work."

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$4,000	$10,000	$2,350

Jayne has another chance to reward herself for the hard work. Let's play another round!

Round 5

LIVING THINGS

Brian	Denise	JAYNE
		$550: T (DUD!)

$800: R (DUD!)	$500: S
	$500

LIVING THINGS

DING DING! DING DING!

The S was obvious to them, and now it's obvious to us that Pat should give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece.

Denise: N (x2) ($3,500)
Jayne: L ($1,500)
Brian: G ($1,500)
Denise: C (DUD!)
Jayne: P ($3,000)
Brian: M ($3,000)

LIVING THINGS

Brian solves PINK FLAMINGOS.

Brian	Denise	Jayne
$7,000	$10,000	$2,350

BONUS ROUND:

"Wahoo." Denise has one more chance to add to that nice even total of hers in Bonus Land. Which of these prizes would interest her the most?

BMW 325i

Ford Explorer SUV
We'll forward you some cash ($25,000-$50,000)

Or we can just add an extra zero. ($100,000!)

Denise has her husband and a friend Lenore in the audience! Lenore made Denise come to the audition, so Denise made her some to the show.

Here comes that last spin of the week! Denise takes the Bonus Wheel, and her spin stops on the comma. Vanna wants her to solve this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THINGS

RSTLNE gives her:

THINGS

Pat tells Vanna there's a little paper sticking out of her pocket.

Denise writes her own choices of BPMA.

THINGS

She thinks of PRICES, but she does not solve HIGH PRICES. She still insists on splitting the prize. "What if it were a car? We'd have to get a chainsaw out here!"

She could've tried to split the $25,000. Denise will leave with $10,000 in cash and Gift Tag.
