From the San Diego Convention Center, it's America's game!
The story of your life will have to wait a few seconds, because a Toss-Up is starting now.
Go!
Lori Ann solves DATELINE NBC.
Reporting at the studio this evening:
Lori Ann Persinger: Navy woman and veteran who did 4 years Active and 4 years Reserves a little while ago (showing her age), from Chula Vista
John Brentner: Works for a general engineering contractor in San Diego, from Bonsall
Kelly Howell: In sales, also a recent graduate from Cal State San Marcos with a major in business; from San Diego
All this and Vanna White tonight on- Wait, is that 60 Minutes? By the way, this Toss-Up won't even last 60 seconds!
Go!
John screams the answer of SHOWER CURTAIN.
He'll need to open those black curtains and win that $10,000 prize!
Lori Ann solves CONSUMER ADVOCATE.
John shouts the answer on the board.
Even as loud as he is, he won't magically reveal which Mystery Wedge is which. You just have to guess, and it could be a BANKRUPT, or it could be a 2003 Ford Focus worth $14,090.
Lori Ann solves YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY for no money...because she spent that Mystery cash on a new car!
Go!
John solves VACATION PLANS.
He's just quiet enough that we can hear about our next puzzle.
DING DING! DING DING!
John: S (x2) ($2,600)
John instantly solves SANFORD AND SON.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CDHA gives here a little bit of help.

Pat forgets to tell Kelly to pick up the Free Spin token. Presumably after being reminded from offstage, he stops it at $300 and spins the Wheel backwards to pick up the token for her.

Now we just need to cross our fingers that Charlie has the right prize copy. We'll be giving away a holiday at L'Auberge Del Mar Resort & Spa including tours, gourmet dinner, and spa treatments (labeled L'AUBERGE) worth $3,500.
We've got our eyes on Pat to make sure he doesn't tell someone to lift up the Jackpot space from the Wheel.

Finishing this way wasn't a part of Kelly's vacation plan. It was just some bad luck with the Wheel and letter picks, but now she has to leave with a $500 consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
Well, Lori Ann's already got a car, but there's no law against winning another. If she's happy with her car, she can still win some cash up to $100,000. Pat forgot she had some cash already. 
Lori Ann has her husband, her son, and a best friend from the Marines in the audience!
Before Pat can relax, we still have to get through a Bonus Round. Lori Ann spins the 1 in $100,000, and she gets this puzzle:
