From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Goodbye, 2002! And hello, San Francisco, of course.
And hello, first Toss-Up, a little treat to begin our last day of the year.
Go!
Kevin solves TRAPEZE ARTIST.
This trio can't wait for the new year!
Kevin Blair: Freshman at Claremont McKenna College maybe going into economics or government...and can also touch his nose with his tongue; originally from Fircrest, WA (and is a fan of the Mariners)
Penny Hubble: Court officer for an "awesome judge" (also a female judge, to clear it up for Pat), from Nashville, TN
Kerry Kurts: Customer service supervisor for a wireless phone company, from South Jordan, UT (originally from Seattle, WA)
Go!
Kerry solves ARE YOU SERIOUS?.
Yes, we are serious. The $10,000 prize that Kerry wants is somewhat difficult to hit.
Perfection! Kerry solves TRIED-AND-TRUE RECIPES.
Kevin opts to "solve the puddle", and he solves POTATO SKIN CARE PRODUCTS.
We begin the Mystery Round for those who don't care about risk. With two spaces on the Wheel, you could spot a BANKRUPT, or you could spot a Kia Rio worth $9,361.
Penny reads what's on the board.
Go!
Kerry solves TRIVIAL PURSUIT.
In pursuit of more big money, Kerry starts our next round.
DING DING! DING DING!
But we need to end the year soon, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece. What a finish!
Kerry: T (x2) ($12,000)
Kevin: S (x2) ($12,000)
Penny: R (DUD!)
Kerry: M ($18,000)
Kevin: X
Kerry solves STAY-AT-HOME DADS for the big finish!

We don't have a tried-and-true method for awarding prizes, yet. Someday, it will be easier to win a prize like a holiday at The Stanford Courts Renaissance Hotel (labeled SAN FRANCISCO) worth $4,250.
Kevin wants to try for some real money right now. He can improve his score with a Jackpot win.

BONUS ROUND:
And now comes the bigger finish. Kerry will play our final Bonus Round of the year for a car or cash up to $100,000!
She has too many in the audience to count.
But is that a sign that we'll finish the year properly? Our last spin of the Bonus Wheel lands on the W in WIN, and here's the last puzzle of the year.

She says TOUCH, and she does not solve THICK FOG, and while she briefly didn't want to see...
...she has a look at the $25,000 inside. But that's nothin'. Kerry already won $26,700 in cash!
In the post-game chat, Vanna is surprised that Pat mentioned Carl's Perfect Pig, a barbecue place in Tennessee. A good way to mention that the show will be in Nashville for a few weeks in February!
See you next year!
