From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Travel USA Week!
Not much traveling for Vanna to get to the puzzle board. Now she'll get this Toss-Up in motion.
Go!
Tamacia solves THE GREAT PLAINS.
Here for a plain ol' great game:
Tamacia Sawyer: Expecting a second son, and she works as a Grade 1 teacher's assistant; from Charlotte, NC
Don Gunther: Sales manager who started his own distribution business for car wash products (also just got done restoring a '67 Camaro), and he has invented an "Electronic 8 Ball of Romance"; from Chesterfield, MO
Sharon Demoss: Realtor, from Goodyear, AZ
Go!
Tamacia solves BUFFALO WINGS.
She's ordering the wings for the rest of us if she wins the $10,000 prize.
Perfection! Tamacia solves FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS.
The first order of business for the crew is to add some wedges to the Wheel. One of the wedges is a holiday at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner minutes away from Washington, D.C., including concert with backstage tour (labeled TRAVEL USA) worth $4,295.
There's a special delivery from each of these Mystery Wedges. The one with a BANKRUPT will deliver a gut punch. The other will deliver you a Neiman Marcus gift certificate worth $10,000.
Tamacia solves DISPOSABLE CONTACT LENSES.
Go!
Don solves RIVERBOAT CASINO to get onboard.
It's time for him to get onboard the Big Money Train, and the $5,000 space is his magic ticket!
Sharon solves LITTLE ROBIN REDBREAST.
DING DING! DING DING!
And Pat has a job to do, which is to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Sharon starts.
Sharon: R (DUD!)
Tamacia: T (x5) ($8,000)
Don solves GAS STATION ATTENDANT.
BONUS ROUND:
We have a chance for Tamacia to fuel up on cash in Bonus Land! She could also take a car. How about the $100,000?
RSTLNE gives her:
HDGA lights up one more in a good spot.

...but even then, the envelope had $40,000. Tamacia leaves with $16,350 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat's happy that Spring has finally sprung. He asks if Vanna likes winter weather, but she's not a cold weather person. But Pat likes visiting cold weather areas. He likes watching it on television. He likes watching people shovel.
