From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Cruise Week, and another chance for a home viewer to win a cruise!
Open your minds, because we could use almost anything as a Toss-Up puzzle! At least if it's not too long.
Go!
James solves L'EGGO MY EGGO.
We could be making these three hungry right now.
James Hensley: High school band director, and his dad was on the show in the late 70's (Pat suggests to "Call Chuck and see if he remembers."); from Anaheim Hills, CA
Sherrard Georgius: Wardrobe consultant, also a Sunday school teacher for 3-year-olds and taught them to say "Big Money!"; from Charlotte, NC
Go!
Sherrard solves EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT.
Let go of those signaling devices, and Sherrard can grab onto that Wheel! Can she grab a $10,000 prize?
James solves BUENOS AIRES ARGENTINA.
JACKPOT! Sherrard solves MOBY DICK BY HERMAN MELVILLE and has taken the $9,250 pot!
We're sailing into dangerous waters as the Mystery Round begins. Are you a fan of risk? Will there be a BANKRUPT, or will there be a Neiman Marcus gift certificate worth $10,000?
Sherrard solves ANTONIO BANDERAS & MELANIE GRIFFITH.
Go!
Sherrard solves ENERGY EFFICIENT.
Hitting the $5,000 space is a more efficient approach to earn some big bucks in this game.
He solves SKIN MOISTURIZER for the Gift Tag ...though the answer reveal is not too efficient, because each letter appears slowly as if it was an unsolved bonus puzzle (and the border doesn't flash).
DING DING! DING DING!
In case we didn't catch it earlier, Pat must now give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.
Melissa: N (x2) ($2,600)
James solves TENNIS RACKETS.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
HCPO is only good for a double vowel.

We don't know if Melissa truly loved being here, as she wanted to win something. She now departs with a $500 consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
One Jackpot made it a great game for Sherrard, but another jackpot awaits! Look what we have...
Jeep Liberty SUV
BMW
Shoot for some cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...but one Jackpot isn't enough ($100,000!)
She has her mother in the audience!
She gives it her best spin! Sherrard lands on the C in CASH, and hopefully we have the best puzzle for her.

In the post-game chat, Pat talks about Chuck Woolery, Pat's predecessor. People think there's a strange thing going on, but he likes Chuck! That guy even has some shows on Game Show Network, so we see him all over the place.
