Vanna heads for the puzzle board as usual, and some Toss-Up money is heading into someone's pockets.
Go!
Lisa solves A TEMPTING OFFER.
Our tempted trio:
Lisa Brost: Works for a hi-tech firm, from San Jose, CA
Jennifer Chan: Marketing coordinator, from Irvine, CA
Brian Went: Stand-up comedian (well, he tries), but he's also a customer service representative and "stay-at-home son"; from Bethlehem, PA
Go!
Brian solves PHONEY BALONEY.
We're not bluffing. There really is a $10,000 prize on the Wheel. It's just difficult to hit.
Brian solves VACATION RENTAL HOME.
In the Mystery Round, will you frown, or will it turn upside-down? Depends on whether you find the BANKRUPT or a Cartier gift certificate worth $10,000.
Go!
Jennifer solves I'M ON A BUDGET.
We're on a super huge budget if you probably guessed. We can easily afford to add a $5,000 space.
DING DING! DING DING!
Jennifer: L (x2) ($4,550)
Brian solves THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES.
BONUS ROUND:
Whether or not Jennifer's tempted to spin the Bonus Wheel, she must. She lands on the A in CASH, and we've got one last puzzle on the board.
RSTLNE gives her:
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheel heads for the Tropics!
We also begin our Blue Cash giveaway this week, courtesy of American Express! $5,000 will be given away to a home viewer every night! All you need to do is submit the answer to the bonus puzzle for your chance to win!

In the post-game chat, Pat asks why Vanna is standing the way she does...and it's because her belly button is showing through her dress. Pat jokes that she drives an "Audi".
