From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Great Northwest Week!

The time has come...so quickly find those Toss-Up devices!

$1,000 Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Ryan solves STRIKE IT RICH.

Annesha	Ryan	Brooke

Aiming to strike it rich today:
Ryan Aving (?): G.I. Fellow at the University of Miami (doctor in sub-specialty training), from Miami
Brooke Nichols: High school English teacher, from Sacramento, CA
Annesha Edwards: Customer service representative, from St. Louis, MO

Another Toss-Up to bring you closer to those riches:

$2,000 Toss-Up

THINGS

Go!

THINGS

Ryan solves SHOOTING STARS.

Annesha	Ryan	Brooke
	$3,000

Is it easier to catch that $10,000 prize or a real shooting star?

Round 1

PEOPLE

* PRIZE PUZZLE! *

Annesha	RYAN	Brooke
	$300: S (DUD!)	$900: T (DUD!)

$900: N $400: R -$250: A (x3) Gift Tag: K (DUD!)	$600: G (x2) $600: D Solve: Correct!
$1,050	$1,800

PEOPLE

Ryan solves A REGGAE BAND. Don't forget the Prize Puzzle! Ryan has just won a trip to Jamaica and stay at Half Moon worth $4,970.

"We should be really cruel one night and say 'Yes, you win a map of Jamaica'."

Annesha	Ryan	Brooke
	$9,770

That won't be the prize wedge today! Let's do better and add a trip to Portland and stay at 5th Avenue Suites Hotel (labeled NORTHWEST) worth $5,170.

Giving Brooke another chance to play, she could be the one to win that Jackpot for her own riches!

Round 2

QUOTATION

Annesha	Ryan	BROOKE
		BANKRUPT! ($0)

$800: N (x2) $600: D $300: T (x3) -$250: A (x2) -$250: E (x4) Jackpot: H (x2) -$250: O $500: F (x2) -$250: I (x4) $800: W (DUD!)	$800: L (x2) NORTHWEST: S (x3) Solve: Correct!
$3,100	$1,600+

Annesha was about to call another letter (sounded like F or S but she didn't finish), then she changed to W. And then the bulb lit up too late.

QUOTATION

Ryan solves LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS to keep the Portland trip.

Annesha	Ryan	Brooke
	$16,540

The mystery of how we pursue all that. Another mystery is how some people will risk it all to find a BANKRUPT or a 2003 Ford Ranger worth $14,270.

Round 3

$300: N (x2) $800: T (x2) $300: H -$250: E (x3) -$250: A -$250: I (x2) Prize?: G (x2) (She flips it... ...Ford Ranger!) Lose A Turn!	$800: R (x3) Solve: Correct!
$1,750+	$2,400

EVENT

Ryan solves EXPLORING THE OREGON TRAIL. Pat senses a little guilt, but he reminds Ryan that the competition would probably do the same to him.

Annesha	Ryan	Brooke
	$18,940

Exploring other options for some money? Go for this third Toss-Up!

$3,000 Toss-Up

THE 90s

Go!

THE 90s

Ryan solves BEANIE BABIES.

Annesha	Ryan	Brooke

Still perfect, Ryan's next mission is to cash in with help from that $5,000 space.

Round 4

ON THE MENU

Annesha	RYAN	Brooke
	$600: N (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0) (She tries to call T.)

$550: T $800: L -$250: A -$250: E (x2) $600: H $300: P (x3)
$2,350

ON THE MENU

DING DING! DING DING!

Annesha must know it now before it's too late. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece.

Annesha: D ($3,850)

ON THE MENU

Annesha solves DUTCH APPLE PIE to get on the board.

Annesha	Ryan	Brooke
$3,850	$21,940

Ryan couldn't quite eat it all up, but he was still tough, so Brooke is leaving with the $500 consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

Ryan could still take a bite from our Bonus Wheel! Okay, not literally, but he could take a car or cash up to $100,000.

He has his wife and parents in the audience!

Before taking a bite, Ryan must take a spin. He lands on the 100's digit, and this puzzle lands on the board.

Bonus Puzzle

THINGS

RSTLNE gives him:

THINGS

CPMI leaves just two blanks to fill in.

THINGS

He instantly solves CLIFFS...

...and he climbs further with an extra $40,000! Ryan finishes with $61,940 in cash and trips!

In the post-game chat, Vanna is thinking about the Round 4 puzzle. What's the difference between regular and Dutch apple pie? Pat thinks there are little chips of wood. The real difference is the topping, with "crumbly stuff" on the Dutch pie. Some guy walked by in the audience and told us.

Pat is impressed that we gave away the larger cash prizes twice this week. There's only one of each, so that was impressive! We're still waiting for a $100K win.
