From the Las Vegas Hilton, it's America's Game! This is Best Friends Week!
If you've figured out who holds those devices, you may begin this Toss-Up round.
Go!
Nancy & Suzanne solve FELIX & OSCAR. "They solve together. They jump together. They're just really good friends."
We talk to some odd couples here:
Nancy & Suzanne: Friends for 10 years, and they live in Camarillo, CA and are across the street from each other. Nancy is a senior account executive for a cable provider, and Suzanne is a hair designer.
Neka & Rebecca: Known for a couple of years. Neka grew up in the Bahamas and owns a carpet cleaning company. Rebecca is a mother of two sons. Both are from Las Vegas.
Jimmy & Sean: Met at a local production of Funny Girl (which wasn't well produced). Jimmy is a waiter at a local restaurant, and Sean is a vacation counsellor for a travel company. Both are Las Vegas.
Go!
Nancy & Suzanne solve A MIND READER.
It doesn't take a mind reader to know how much they'd like to spin the Wheel!
Perfection! Nancy & Suzanne solve AT THE DROP OF A HAT to keep the Gift Tag.
JACKPOT! Nancy & Suzanne solve VANNA AND PAT OF BUTTER, and they're throwing in a $5,900 cash prize. "Was that puzzle an insult?"
Jimmy & Sean solve MADRID ROME AND PARIS.
Go!
Nancy & Suzanne solve BIG-TICKET ITEMS.
What kind of big-ticket items will they think about after they take advantage of our $5,000 space?
Nancy & Suzanne solve WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?, and they'd better enjoy some surfing lessons.
DING DING! DING DING!
Also, we don't like exceeding our half-hour limit. Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Our red team begins!
Neka & Rebecca: R ($1,300)
Jimmy & Sean: S ($1,300)
Nancy & Suzanne: T (x2) ($2,600)
Neka & Rebecca: L ($2,600)
Neka & Rebecca solve STROBE LIGHT.

They start with A PUDDLE, then they say A POODLE, A PEBBLE, and A PICKLE. Luckily, they finish with A PUZZLE before the buzzer, and after a puzzling 10 seconds...
...it's now clear to us that they've won a Pair of Chrysler PT Cruisers worth $45,950! What a finish, and they're going home with $75,440 in cash and prizes!
It's another special occasion where Pat and Vanna invite Charlie to stand with them in the post-game chat! Charlie likes it here in Vegas! He admits he has a Colonel Sanders kind of look. His wife never saw him with a mustache or beard, so he decided to leave it on. One more thing before we go...
"Wheeeeeeeeeel of Fortune!"
