From the Las Vegas Hilton, it's America's Game! This is Best Friends Week!
There will be plenty of hugging, but with a Toss-Up starting, give yourself some space to buzz in.
Go!
Marissa & Talia solve THE BEST IN THE WEST.
Starting on our "west" side:
Marissa & Talia: Students at University of Florida and friends for 11 years. Marissa is a history major who wants to be a teacher, while Talia is a public relations major who hopes to work for professional sports. Both are from Coral Springs, FL.
Todd & Jason: Musicians who both play guitar and are starting a band. Outside of that, they like to...sleep, eat, and hang out. "Have a good time!" Both are from Las Vegas.
Janu & Kirsten: Showgirls in Las Vegas and performing in the same show. They are also students.
Go!
Marissa & Talia solve HAVING A NIGHTCAP. Pat wanted to be sure of yellow's guess.
We want to be sure that the reds are ready to spin the Wheel, and they are!
Marissa & Talia solve FRANK DEAN AND SAMMY. "That, of course, refers to Frank Purdue, Dean Rusk, and Sammy Khan."
Marissa & Talia solve YOU SCRATCH MY BACK AND I'LL SCRATCH YOURS.
Marissa & Talia solve ANTIQUE & CARD DEALER.
Go!
Marissa & Talia solve TWO-WAY STREET.
They're just too good, aren't they? It's time to pack in even more cash with a $5,000 spin!
DING DING! DING DING!
It no longer matters if they want a vowel, because Pat is giving the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $700 + $1,000 for $1,700 a piece.
Todd & Jason: H ($1,700+) (Jason tries to call E.)
Janu & Kirsten: D ($1,700) (And Janu tries to call Y.)
Marissa & Talia: Y ($1,700)
Talia guesses SAVE THE DAY JOB.
Todd & Jason: A ($1,700+)
Janu & Kirsten: B (DUD!)
Marissa & Talia: N (DUD!)
Todd & Jason: M (DUD!)
Janu & Kirsten: V (DUD!)
Marissa & Talia: L (DUD!)
Todd & Jason: C (DUD!)
Janu & Kirsten: G (DUD!)
Marissa & Talia: J (DUD!)
Todd & Jason: K (DUD!)
Janu & Kirsten: E ($1,700)
Marissa & Talia: P ($3,400)
Todd & Jason: O (x3) ($1,700+)
Todd & Jason are close with SOUP OF THE DAY OUT.
Only vowels left!
Janu & Kirsten solve SOUP OF THE DAY OFF.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:

We'll have to make sure our Jackpot space sticks to the Wheel so it isn't left hanging.
