From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Rich & Famous!
This Toss-Up is too cheap, but it'll have to do for now.
Go!
Matt solves CHROME WHEELS.
Will one of them drive out in chrome wheels?
Matt Sandler: Works at a tennis academy with kids off the court, and sports management in general; he's also expecting a baby soon; from Coconut Creek, FL
Jamie Somphanthabansouk: Student at UC San Diego studying management science and minoring in computing, plans to own a graphic arts firm someday; from Redding, CA
Karen Shade: Works at a Christian school, from Olympia, WA
Go!
Karen solves TROUBLE-SHOOTERS.
Matt solves SOUTH AMERICAN RAIN FORESTS.
Karen reads what's on the board for the house minimum.
Be careful driving behind those Mystery Wedges! One of them will run you off the road with a BANKRUPT, but the other could guide you...actually, it is indeed a 2003 Toyota Echo worth $13,245.
Matt solves HAVING YOUR TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED.
Go!
Karen solves A STROKE OF GENIUS.
It would be a genius idea to call a "multiple" on the $5,000 space! Easy enough with a puzzle this size!
DING DING! DING DING!
In case time is short, the Final Spin was our genius idea, and Pat is ready. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.
Karen: B (DUD!)
Matt quickly solves PRINCESS LEIA & HAN SOLO.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
CPGI only lights up two more letters.

In the worst case, another Toss-Up should help you with a down payment for that car.

Matt | Jamie | Karen |
$10,800 | $5,500 |
We've run out of ideas for Jamie to become rich, and we've run out of time. She's now taking the $500 consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
The only "Dark Side" in Bonus Land could be the puzzle itself. At least the Bonus Wheel is all good with:
BMW Mini Cooper
Chrysler Pacifica
Some new cash ($25,000-$50,000)
Some new cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...or the return of the Jackpot! ($100,000!)
He has his pregnant wife in the audience!
Fingers crossed both that he gets the best after spinning the S in CASH, and that he gets an easy puzzle...

He says ARISTO CAT and her the last word, but he does not solve FRISKY CAT...
...and it gets away with the $25,000. Matt must settle with $10,800 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat has to ask how Vanna's cats are doing. Well, her cat. Sophie wanted to be an outdoor car, sitting at the door every day to go outside, so Vanna gave her to a friend in a nice neighborhood with no coyotes, and she's happy over there. Jake's doing great too.
