From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We're back on the California Coast! Pretty much, anyway.
We didn't bring back any New York themed Toss-Up puzzles with us...we think.
Go!
Omid guesses A WHALE OF A TIME.
Tish solves A WHALE OF A TALE.
Soon to have tales to tell:
Lutisha "Tish" Garry: Employed for the Commonwealth Pennsylvania Philadelphia County, from Roslyn, PA (originally from Wilmington, NC)
Omid Rabbean: Newlywed, and he practiced English by watching this show; from Los Angeles, CA (originally from New York)
Kerri Moran: Grade 8 Algebra teacher in Oswego, IL; from Aurora
Go!
Tish solves THE BEVERLY HILLBILLIES.
Even the Hillbillies would believe a big prize such as $10,000 should mean a bigger space, but that still hasn't happened.
Perfection! Tish solves JOHNNY-ON-THE-SPOT.
Charlie's always on the spot when we need a prize, and now he has a holiday at Fess Parker's Wine Country Inn & Spa Santa Barbara (labeled CALIFORNIA) worth $7,400.
Double Perfection! Omid solves MISS AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL.
Now Kerri gets to play, and she could try to take a shortcut to the lead. It's quite risky in the Mystery Round, where we have one space with a BANKRUPT and another with an Amazon Home & Garden Store gift certificate worth $10,000.
Omid solves HOT FUDGE SUNDAE WITH CHOPPED NUTS.
Go!
Kerri rings in with silence.
Omid solves ROCKY SHORELINES.
He's been waiting long enough for a $5,000 space, and now it finally shows up.
Kerri solves INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY, and suddenly we've got a game! And she's got a Gift Tag.
DING DING! DING DING!
But now comes the bells, so Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Kerri begins.
Kerri: T (DUD!)
Tish: N ($1,600)
Omid: S (DUD!)
Kerri: R (x2) ($3,200)
Tish: L ($3,200)
Omid: C (x2) ($3,200)
Kerri: H ($4,800)
Tish: G ($4,800)
Omid: A ($3,200)
Omid solves WICKER LOUNGE CHAIR to reclaim his victory.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
CMHA isn't too helpful for him.

Pat complains that things went great in school until Algebra, then he went downhill. Why do we need to know what x is?
Not really a whale of a Toss-Up, but at least more valuable than the first one.

Jeep Wrangler
Winnebago motorhome

...or soak it all up! ($100,000!)
Once Omid is comfortable, he'll spin the Bonus Wheel and stop at the 10,000's digit. Here's our first bonus puzzle of the week!

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna talk about how good it feels to return home. These trips are getting harder, as Pat is in charge of the Wheel, taking it on the plane, and putting it in the overhead compartment. It shifts during landing and takeoff, and it's a very difficult thing.
