From the Moscone Center in San Francisco, it's America's game! This is College Week!
Time again to pull out a Toss-Up puzzle as we approach the midterm.
Go!
Adam solves SORORITY SISTERS.
As solved by the brother among them:
Adam Simpson: Student at UC Berkeley majoring in theatre and minoring in anthropology, also a chess tournament player; from Bakersfield
Jackie Sue Yurek: Junior at San Jose State University majoring in child and adolescent development, wants to be a Montessori teacher, and she volunteers for kids; from Milpitas
Virginia Lu: Freshman at UCSF studying to become a dental hygienist, also training with friends to run the relay race for the SF Marathon; from San Francisco
Go!
Jackie Sue solves NATIONAL MONUMENT. Pat briefly had the wrong card, but thankfully, that didn't affect the ruling.
Spend that $10,000 prize on a monument or education? For this trio, it's sure to be an easy decision.
Adam solves E-MAIL BUDDY LIST.
Adam solves SHREK DONKEY & PRINCESS FIONA.
Your new quest begins with the Mystery Round. The punishment is the dark castle that is the BANKRUPT, and your "happily-ever-after" will be a Sony Style gift certificate worth $10,000.
Virginia solves BASEBALL CAPS AND GOWNS for some cash and a Mystery Prize!
Go!
Jackie Sue solves THE GREAT LAKES.
Here she goes with our next round!
DING DING! DING DING!
But we're a little late for our last inning. We'll have Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece. It could still be a home run!
Jackie Sue: T (x2) ($12,000)
Virginia: N (x2) ($12,000)
Adam: D ($6,000)
Adam suddenly solves TIME AND TIME AGAIN to score the winning run at the last moment!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
PDMO leave just two pairs of blanks to think about.

It's also his "partner in crime" in the audience joining him soon.
Adam will give that Bonus Wheel a spin, and he's stuck with the 1 in $100,000. His final test awaits.

In the post-game chat, Vanna acknowledges that it has been a great week so far! We've had 3 Bonus Round wins in a row, so let's continue that streak tomorrow!
