On Day 4 of "Wheel Around the World", we're on the set of "The Good Life", where the Mercedes-Benz C300 was played ALL FIVE TIMES during that theme week (and won three times). And for the fourth straight night, we're starting the game with...

Mystery Round - FUN AND GAMES (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Early on, Alithia picks up the MDW with an H. She later picks up the TigerGPS gift tag with an S. After filling in most of the puzzle, she BANKRUPTS to lose $5,100 cash and gift tag as well as the MDW. Ouch. Melissa then gets the same thing. Tim and Alithia strike out with back-to-back duds of M and C (the latter of which was on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT). Melissa next lights up two P's on FP, but she then BLOWS IT ON $3,500 with a Y. That allows Tim to solve...
