Airdate: April 13, 2004
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Wheel Around The World!
Coming full circle, we've arrived back at our first Toss-Up round again.
Go!
Brian solves GRILLED SWORDFISH.
Trying not to get grilled for their interviews:
Brian Bell: Police officer in Sacramento, from Citrus Heights, CA
Gloria Sue: Based out of Sacramento working for a consulting firm, also a whitewater river rafting guide; from La Mirada, CA
Badia Holland: Customer service accounting representative for a utility company, from Asbury Park, NJ
Go!
Badia solves THE JOKER'S WILD.
It would be wild if she picked up the $10,000 prize on her very first spin!
Brian solves CONVENIENCE STORE MANAGER to keep the cash and Gift Tag.
With those scores, Gloria will need a Mystery flip more than ever. She could uncover a BANKRUPT, or she could uncover a $10,000 cash prize.
Brian solves I BELIEVE SOME THANKS ARE IN ORDER.
Go!
Badia solves DINNER FLATWARE.
It's no small task to catch up. Even with a $5,000 space on the Wheel, she's got a challenge ahead.
DING DING! DING DING!
And we're also running out of time. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! If nothing else, that'll mean lots of cash!
Badia: T (DUD!)
Brian: H ($6,000)
Gloria: R (DUD!)
Badia: L (x2) ($13,200)
Brian solves SELF-HELP BOOKS to add to an already impressive total!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
GDHA can only light a semi-obvious letter.

We now have our Wheel prize in a convenient spot on the Wheel. We'd like to see someone win a trip to Malaysia and stay at Ritz Carlton Hotel Kuala Lumpur and the Pangkor Island Resort (labeled WHEEL AtW) worth $5,200.
We admit that the Jackpot space isn't in the most convenient spot, but at least it's full-width.

Perfection and JACKPOT! Brian solves BARCELONA FLAMENCO PORTUGAL'S NEIGHBOR to win the $13,600 pot! In case he forgot, there's a $3,000 bonus if he knows where we are.
He knows. It's Spain. We've should've allowed "bonus" categories to be Prize Puzzles just to top that off. 
Badia | Brian | Gloria |
$2,000 | $37,650 |
With those scores, Gloria will need a Mystery flip more than ever. She could uncover a BANKRUPT, or she could uncover a $10,000 cash prize.

Badia | Brian | Gloria |
$5,000 | $51,150 |
Such a lucky challenger beside her that Gloria couldn't even light up her scoreboard. Wish we had more than just a $500 consolation prize.
BONUS ROUND:
By law, we have to give Brian a chance to play the Bonus Round. He can win one of these:
Mini Cooper
Volkswagen Touareg
Help yourself to some cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...or take the whole stash! ($100,000!)
He has his parents in the audience!
It all comes down to one lucky spin. What's hidden in the blue space? We'll find out after this puzzle.

He guesses MOVING OVER and also thinks of ICING MAKER. He does not solve BUYING POWER...
...and he doesn't have the power to take the Mini Cooper. Brian still did extraordinarily well and leaves with $51,150!
In the post-game chat, Pat holds a card for Roda Impian, the Malaysian version of the show. We get to watch a few clips of it. In addition to the game, the host and hostess appear to be chasing after each other with sticks. Pat likes that idea over here.
