From Radio City Music Hall in New York, it's America's game! This is Best Friends Week!
Even the high and mighty need to start from the bottom. This Toss-Up is your first rung!
Go!
Sarah & Danielle solve WARM APPLE STRUDEL.
Warming up tonight:
Sarah & Danielle: Known for 10 years having been randomly assigned freshman roommates in college. Sarah is a civil engineer working for a private firm in L.A.; she's originally from outside D.C. and has been living in Southern California for about 6 years. Danielle lives in Santa Monica, CA but is originally from Bethlehem, PA; she's a cost analyst in the aerospace industry.
Brad & Monir: Met about 10 years ago at Yale. Brad is originally from Moultrie, GA; he's currently an independent film maker in NYC. Monir is also an independent filmmaker, and in a short film, they both play the same person in the film (despite looking nothing alike)
Sandy & Judah: Friends for over 30 years having met at camp. Sandy is an elementary school teacher, while Judah is a dentist turned writer expecting his first grandchild.
Go!
Brad & Monir quickly solve DENTAL ASSISTANT, albeit just before timing out.
Dentists gotta be careful, because one wrong move could be painful. That one-third $10,000 space is hardly any different.
Sarah & Danielle solve ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME, which leads us to the real surprise. For solving a Prize Puzzle, they've won an Italiatour! visit to Rome worth $9,000.
Brad & Monir solve CABBAGE PATCH KIDS.
Like some friends, one Mystery Wedge knows what the other is thinking...but you won't! It's a total secret which one's a BANKRUPT and which one's a Kenneth Cole gift certificate worth $10,000.
Sandy & Judah solve INTERNET CHAT ROOM WITH A VIEW.
Go!
Brad & Monir solve MAIL-IN REBATE.
And with that, we credit them with a spin.
DING DING! DING DING!
Some conditions apply. When time is short, Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! They didn't need that spin!
Brad & Monir: T (DUD!)
Sandy & Judah: S (DUD!)
Sarah & Danielle: N ($6,000)
Brad & Monir: C ($6,000)
Sandy & Judah: R (DUD!)
Sarah & Danielle: B (DUD!)
Brad & Monir: M (DUD!)
Sandy & Judah: V ($6,000)
Sarah & Danielle solve I LOVE A CHALLENGE, and they've won this challenge!
