This is the midweek edition of "Wheel Around the World", and the set for tonight is from "Get Out of Town" (the one that only had four taped episodes). And for the third night in a row, we're starting the game with...
$1,000 Tossup - ON THE MAP
A _ _ _ _ S

========
Mystery Round - SAME NAME
Brad picks up the Wild Card with three R's, but he then misses on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW with an L. Leslie immediately BANKRUPTS after that while Casey strikes out on $3,500 with an N. Brad then hits the same MW and puts up the C, but surprisingly doesn't risk that much money and the WC (that turned out to be a good thing because that had a BANKRUPT). After finishing off the vowels (two E's and two I's), he BANKRUPTS for the second time tonight to give back $500 and the WC. Towards the end, Leslie blows it with K. That allows Casey to solve with the following...
T R A P E Z E / &
_ R A P _ I C
A R T I S T
She solves TRAPEZE & GRAPHIC ARTIST for $1,150.
DUDS: O (Casey), L (Brad), N (Casey), K (Leslie)

Round 4 - SHOW BIZ
Leslie misses with an S after starting with a T. Casey BANKRUPTS for a $750 loss after filling in two R's and two A's. Brad does some work before hitting LAT. Leslie fills in a couple more letters but time's running out...
_ O _ U M E N T A R Y

Each of the four remaining consonants are worth $1,500 each.
