From the San Diego Convention Center, it's America's game! Welcome to College Week!
If you've got the hang of this game, you'll prove it by taking some Toss-Up money right now.
Go!
Jhoanna solves PAYING TUITION.
Collecting for their tuition today:
Jhoanna Sebastian: Freshman at California State University of San Marcos majoring in accounting, from San Diego
Mark Janikis: Graduate student at San Diego State University getting a Ph.D in geography (joint with Santa Barbara), from Encinitas
Go!
Mark solves CHRISTOPHER WALKEN.
You know, what doesn't need to be joint is the $10,000 space with those other skinny things. Mark just wants the cash prize.
Jhoanna solves MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE.
Time for another Mystery Round, and cross your fingers that the bad luck's out of the way. One space has a BANKRUPT, and the other has a 2003 Ford Focus worth $14,090.
Rachel solves GRIZZLY & GUMMY BEARS.
Go!
Mark shouts the answer before ringing in, but then he does ring in and solves PHOTO SCANNER.
Good enough for control of the next round...
DING DING! DING DING!
...not good enough to touch the Wheel anymore. Now that we heard the bell, Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Mark starts.
Mark: S ($1,300) ("No guess.")
Rachel: T ($1,300)
Jhoanna: N ($1,300)
Mark: C ($2,600)
Rachel: L (x3) ($5,200)
Jhoanna: D ($2,600)
Mark: G (DUD!)
Rachel: O ($5,200)
Jhoanna: H ($3,900)
Mark: P ($3,900)
Rachel: E (x2) ($5,200)
Rachel guesses I COULDN'T HELP WISELY before the buzzer. At least it fits the board, but the audience still groans.
Jhoanna: W (DUD!)
Mark: M ($5,200)
Mark solves I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. "I think I pulled something!"
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
CDHA can reveal a consonant in the middle.

Who cares about the Gift Tag that much, really? Rachel wanted a bigger prize, and she could be the one to pick up a holiday at Nautical Inn Resort at Lake Havasu (labeled ARIZONA) worth $5,500.
Let's try to give a king-sized Jackpot to one of our players. Does that sound like a good idea?

BONUS ROUND:
Mark won't have to worry about having pulled something anymore, because it's just him and a small Bonus Wheel with a car (including a Mercury Marauder) and cash up to $100,000.
He has his father and girlfriend in the audience!
How appropriate that they're "pulling" for him after that Speed-Up. Now for a big spin, and he'll take the envelope from the I in WIN. Here's one more puzzle for him:

He tries FACES, PACERS, and finishes with PACKETS before he really panics. He does not solve BICEPS, which at least allows him to rest his muscles...
...but that also means he won't be taking home a Mercury Marauder. Mark leaves with $10,200 in cash.
