From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Back inside the studio for Great Outdoors Week!
And still in the black, so let's throw our players a quick Toss-Up for that quick cash.
Go!
Laurie solves A CREATURE OF HABIT.
Our first travelers of the week:
Laurie Shaffer: Works in an investment firm in community relations, and she'll be marrying soon (her goal is to win a honeymoon trip and cash for a down payment on a house); from San Francisco, CA
Caprina Gates: Mason contractor business owner, from Cleveland, OH
Robert Daly: Advertising coordinator for a growing New England store chain, from Coventry, RI
Go!
Caprina solves WATER MOCCASIN.
Now for some more weirdness from that $10,000 space on the Wheel. She can fix it up simply by picking it up!
It's too soon to offer a trip to Vegas as a prize, isn't it? Our alternative is an Icelandair holiday in Reykjavik (labeled OUTDOORS) worth $9,500.
Robert slips with a guess of CAN'T SEE THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES. "Oh no!" He's kicking himself for that one.
Laurie solves CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES.
If you could see what those two Mystery Wedges were hiding...well, there'd be no mystery. One of them's a BANKRUPT, while the other is a Hyundai Accent worth $12,204.
Laurie solves BLACK LEATHER MOTORCYCLE JACKET.
Go!
Robert solves SOMERSAULT.
He's hard to catch, but for him, it could be easy to catch that $5,000 space!
Caprina solves BEER-BATTERED SHRIMP.
DING DING! DING DING!
And we need to get used to fifth rounds again. Short on time, Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece.
Laurie: T ($1,500)
Caprina: R (x2) ($3,000)
Robert: M (DUD!)
Laurie: H (DUD!)
Caprina: S (x2) ($6,000)
Robert: N (x2) ($3,000)
Robert solves INSURANCE ADJUSTER.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
MDPO strikes back...

BONUS ROUND:
And right off the bat, Round 1 was our best round. Robert is responsible for that, so he deserves one of these:
Chrysler Pacifica
Chevrolet Avalanche
We'll adjust the cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...or he'll maximize his claim. ($100,000!)
He has his fiancée in the audience!
We've adjusted the Bonus Wheel to the proper spot for Robert's spin, which hits the N in WIN. He'll face this puzzle:

MDPO strikes back...
...though it also holds him back.
He guesses WANER, BANISTER, JANITOR, then VANITOR after the buzzer. He does not solve VINEGAR...
...and he's unable to smell the extra $25,000. But he's at that level already, leaving with $25,050 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat is looking at his scarf made by Vanna. This is the first time that she's made one, even though she's crocheted for a while. Isn't the scarf pretty? Pat thought it was a tie originally.
