From the Las Vegas Hilton, it's America's game! This is Big Money Week!
Why not slip a little Toss-Up money into your piggy bank while you have the chance?
Go!
Julie solves A DIAMOND IS FOREVER.
An experience this trio will remember forever:
Julie Williams: Medical biller going back to school for nursing, from Wilmington, DE
Mike Wagner: Distributor of home schooling material to thousands of families or for private school, also sent to military personnel in the Armed Forces; from Hoffman Estates, IL
Kathleen Snowden: Personal trainer and fitness instructor, from Las Vegas
Go!
Kathleen solves HEARST CASTLE.
Also in seconds, something could happen to Kathleen with a $10,000 space on the Wheel. She'll love it, or she'll hate it.
And the others already have some catching up to do, so they'll have their eyes on a holiday at The Inn At Baron's Cove in Sag Harbor (labeled BIG MONEY) worth $3,825.
Mike solves WEST HIGHLAND WHITE TERRIER. Still a long way to go.
But since he's won something, Mike ought to agree to a Mystery Wedge flip. Don't even think about the BANKRUPT. He can narrow the gap if he finds a Scion XA worth $13,973.
Kathleen solves I'M BEGINNING TO GET THE HANG OF IT.
Go!
Julie solves WALK-IN CLOSET.
She opens the doors to another round.
DING DING! DING DING!
Or maybe those doors are locked until after Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Julie starts.
Julie: N (x3) ($3,900) (The audience applauds.)
Mike: S (x2) ($2,600)
Kathleen: R (DUD!)
Julie: T ($5,200)
Mike: G (x2) ($5,200)
Mike solves LANSING MICHIGAN.
BONUS ROUND:
With a big boost from the first round, Kathleen is our big winner. She can still do better with a car or cash up to $100,000.

In the post-game chat, Pat heard that Vanna has been having fun at the casinos again. There are actually Wheel of Fortune machines, and sometimes Vanna taps players on the shoulder and says "Good luck!" to them.
