From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Great Outdoors Week!
Praise our puzzle writers for writing so many puzzles, even more with Toss-Ups in the mix.
Go!
Larry rings in with silence.
Lara solves A SNAP DECISION.
Today's contestants:
Lara Donatov: Actor in a sketch comedy group in Manhattan performing in various comedy clubs, from Astoria, NY
Larry Pope: Air craft maintenance supervisor for a major airline, from Hawthorne, CA (originally from New York)
Annie Faragalla: Student at Linda Wood University in St. Charles, MO, and she's a skydiver; from Florissant
Go!
Annie solves SIGNIFICANT OTHER.
She now has the impossible task of landing on the one-third $10,000 space...if she's up for it.
Larry solves FIRST DAY ON THE JOB.
"I'd like to solve, Jack. Pat! Sorry!" Larry solves ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL NEWMAN. He briefly pauses before the last word, but he finishes in time.
Perhaps you like to think one of the Mystery Wedges is robbing the other. It's a fight over which one's the BANKRUPT and which one's a Macy's gift certificate worth $10,000.
We can't save Larry this time after he guesses FRESH ALASKAN PINK SALMON.
Annie solves FRESH ALASKAN KING SALMON. Tastes like a Prize Puzzle, doesn't it? Annie is going on a Princess Cruises Alaskan cruise worth $6,600.
Go!
Larry solves DAY CARE CENTER.
He's closing the gap, and he starts our next round.
DING DING! DING DING!
We also need to close our show, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Larry starts.
Larry: T (x4) ($5,200)
Annie: H ($1,300)
Lara: R (x2) ($2,600)
Lara suddenly solves BETTER LATE THAN NEVER before the buzzer.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
HCGA fills in a few more spaces.

They're obviously new here if they think our players are supposed to pick up the Jackpot space.

BONUS ROUND:
Annie was neither early nor late. She just needed the middle round to win our game, and now she can win...
Jeep Liberty SUV
BMW
All great cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...but never better than this! ($100,000!)
She has two of her best friends in the audience!
Better to give the Bonus Wheel a late spin than none at all. Annie's spin hits the N in WIN. Can she solve one more puzzle?

PHRASE |
She can only think of YOU HAVE TO JACKS. She does not solve YOU HAVE TO FOCUS...
...and she has to stand there as Pat reveals the $30,000. Annie goes home with $7,900 in cash and trip.
In the post-game chat, we hear that Vanna is going out right after she finishes, and she doesn't even have to change or do make-up!
