GN TRIP ON THE WHEEL: trip to Sund's Lodge in British Columbia worth $9280
Round 1 - BEFORE AND AFTER
Kimberly immediately gets $1,000 worth of S's from Jackpot. She then nabs the Sierra Trading Post gift tag with a T. On the next spin, she puts up four A's while on FP, and then picks up the WC with an L. But then comes a dud vowel in O. We get back to her immediately, and she cashes in $5,000 with the N's, but DOES NOT use her WC at that point. And after a lot of work, she BANKRUPTS between $900 and $600 losing $6,650 cash and gift tag, as well as the WC. Laurel spins once for two C's and a Jackpot D before we look at...

Kimberly goes with CDMA...NONE OF THEM APPEAR IN THE PUZZLE.
She has NO CHANCE of solving HIKING BOOTS for $25,000. But she still leaves with more than that -- $46,900 cash and tip! And it's a good thing she avoided a total trainwreck because Pat shows us that the $100,000 was under the P in SPIN -- she barely made it past that space.
