From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Time to cannonball into Cash & Splash week!
Time to dip your toes into the cash with a Toss-Up puzzle, anyway.
Go!
Tangela solves YOU'RE ALL WET.
This chat will give them time to dry.
Tangela (?): Elementary school teacher, from New Jersey
Steve Zienka: Student at Academy of Art University majoring in film, also a restaurant host, and babysits an 11-year-old boy; from San Francisco, CA
Mardi Kersey: Takes care of the books for her husband's company, and throws elaborate dinner parties (Pat's now invited to one!); from Puyallup, WA
Go!
Mardi solves CALICO CAT.
Like a circus act (and not a circus cat), she could now dive from up high and into a narrow $10,000 space.
Mardi solves SURF'S & THUMBS UP.
Steve solves FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
You may frequently ask if the Mystery Round is worth it. There's always the risk, as there's always a BANKRUPT, and today, there's a Hyundai Accent worth $12,204.
Go!
Tangela solves ANCHORS AWEIGH.
She's anchored to the Wheel to start our round...
DING DING! DING DING!
...but a little late. Pat's now anchored so he can give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Tangela begins.
Tangela: S ($1,600)
Steve: T ($1,600)
Mardi: D (DUD!)
Tangela: H (DUD!)
Steve: R (x3) ($6,400)
Mardi: C (x3) ($4,800)
Tangela solves SECRETARY OF COMMERCE.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:

Mardi solves U.S. SWIMMER MICHAEL PHELPS RULES THE POOL AT OLYMPICS for a little cash and a little Gift Tag.
Extra! Extra! She can grow that score a little more with a $3,000 bonus by answering a bonus question.
What city were the 2004 Olympics held in?
That's easy for her. They were in Athens.

Nissan convertible
Saturn SUV
Cash always rules. ($25,000-$50,000)
Actually, this rules the pool! ($100,000!)
She has her husband in the audience!
At least she doesn't have to give the Bonus Wheel an "Olympic" spin. She just needs to grab from the 100's digit and solve one more puzzle.

She only thinks of BALCONY, and she does not solve JACKKNIFE...
...and it wasn't an "Olympic" finish for the $25,000. Mardi leaves with $11,000 in cash and Gift Tag.
In the post-game chat, Pat's not sure if he's actually going to the dinner party. He also brings up that people might think that something unethical's going on, as in winning the game by inviting him to dinner. Maybe, depending on what they're having for dinner over there.
