From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is California Coast Week!
You may have heard what happened yesterday, but don't think about that. Just think about this Toss-Up for now.
Go!
Matthew solves HOUSEWARMING PARTY.
Let's welcome this trio!
Matthew Kiveton: Full-time student at Millikin University studying music business, also a singer; from St. Louis, MO
Anna Morella: Grade 4 teacher and mother expecting a 2nd child, from Towaco, NJ
Katie Miller Paul: "Married graphic designer" for the American Red Cross, from Portland, OR
Go!
Anna guesses A CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.
Matthew solves A FRIEND OF A FRIEND.
But we gather these friends around this colorful circle for a reason. Can one of them make a new friend of the $10,000 space?
Perfection! Matthew solves STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE for that new friend!
Matthew solves THE CARIBBEAN SEA. His blank board is okay, because it's a Prize Puzzle! We can just give him a trip to Jamaica and stay at Wyndham Rose Hall Resort & Country Club Montego Bay worth $6,580.
If you still wanted a blank board, you could always hope that Mystery risk backfires. Yes, you may flip over a BANKRUPT, but you may find an Amazon Jewelry shopping spree worth $10,000.
Katie solves CUCKOO & BIOLOGICAL CLOCK to keep the trip.
Go!
Katie solves PETRIFIED FOREST.
The clock is still ticking, but Katie still has more than enough time for a $5,000 spin today.
Matthew solves LIVING THE GOOD LIFE.
DING DING! DING DING!
Though it's a short puzzle, and now comes the time for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $800 + $1,000 for $1,800 a piece. Matthew starts.
Matthew: L (DUD!)
Anna: R ($1,800)
Katie: S (DUD!)
Matthew: T (DUD!)
Anna: N ($3,600)
Katie: C (DUD!)
Matthew: M (x2) ($3,600)
Anna: D ($5,400)
Anna solves MORK & MINDY for a little taste of the good life.
BONUS ROUND:
So now Matthew doesn't have to feel as guilty, but let's take his mind off that with a Bonus Round. He should be thinking about a car or cash up to $100,000.
RSTLNE gives him:
MCDA gets him halfway there.

He has his mom in the audience!
Round and round the Bonus Wheel goes after he gives it a spin! After we take an envelope from the S in CASH, he must solve one final puzzle:

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna wishes everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. This is also a very important day for Vanna, because it was 21 years ago that she found out that she got the job as a letter turner. She's still thankful today! Pat thinks of that day every time he grabs a drumstick.
