From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Surfin' Safari Week!
In case we still have to remind our contestants, please don't wipe out during the Toss-Up round.
Go!
The blonde Amie solves A NATURAL BLONDE.
Natural born Wheel players:
Amie Judd: Aspiring actor, also a theatre major at Long Beach State graduating with a B.A., and she's learning sign language; from Redondo Beach, CA
Jim Nelson: Worked in sales, but he's going back to school now to finish his education; from Sheffield Lake, OH
Go!
Amie solves HANG LOOSE.
She'll have to hang tight as she gets closer to that one-third $10,000 space.
Amie solves LIGHTNING ROD STEWART for the house minimum.
Charlette solves THE WORLDWIDE LEADER IN SPORTS. She has the lead now, which she can widen with a $3,000 bonus by answering whose slogan it is.
She probably likes her mystery more than her sports. Which wedge would she prefer in our Mystery Round? She'll have to guess which is a BANKRUPT and which is a Scion XA worth $13,973.
Go!
Jim solves ULTRAVIOLET RAYS.
Not worried at all about a sunburn thanks to his suit, he's safe to start this round.
DING DING! DING DING!
Make that safe after Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! It's safe to say that anyone can win here!

Charlette: R ($6,000)
Amie: N (x2) ($12,000)

$3,500 |
This prize wedge is the one part of the wheel that isn't a lightning rod. Still, you wouldn't want lightning during a holiday at Surfer's Paradise Marriott Resort (labeled CALIFORNIA) worth $9,700.
A lightning strike is one way set off some "fireworks" from that Jackpot space, but we could call it a win if that happens.

Like it or not, Jim must take that trip to Bonus Land by law. It'll be worth it if he can win a car or cash up to $100,000!
He doesn't know exactly where it says he must spin the Bonus Wheel, but he must. We're on the 1,000's digit today, and we've got this puzzle today.

He can't give a complete answer, and he does not solve MUFFIN. He's a doughnut guy, anyway.
For missing that one, he won't be grabbing a quick $25,000. Jim leaves with $15,550 in cash.
In the post-game chat, since they got us talking doughnuts, Vanna's an aficionado. There's a particular kind that she wanted to get involved with, but at the time, they're weren't going nationally. If she was involved, she'd be a rich woman. As for her preference, she just like plain glazed doughnuts.
