From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Lap of Luxury Week!
Ignore any power hiccups that may have occurred off-camera. We won't think about that. We just think about this Toss-Up.
Go!
Waiting for the Big Deal today:
Carolyn Greer: Realtor licensed in Rhode Island and Connecticut, from Groton, CT
Jason Cross: Doing some acting and theatre, and hopes to pursue a career; from Boston, MA
Kari Wiseman: Document specialist and loan officer, from Pleasant Grove, UT
Go!
Carolyn solves ONLINE AUCTION.
In the future, contestants could try trading that money away for a full-sized $10,000 space on the Wheel. We don't know if that'll ever become a reality.
Jason reads what's on the board.
A jumbo boost is waiting for one lucky player in the Mystery Round! Trouble is also waiting. One of them could flip over a BANKRUPT, or they could flip over a Hyundai Accent worth $12,204.
Kari solves WHEN THE CAT'S AWAY THE MICE WILL PLAY GIN RUMMY to keep the Gift Tag.
Go!
Carolyn solves STATUS SYMBOL.
Funny if she won the game with just the Toss-Ups, but she'd be better off solving this puzzle.
DING DING! DING DING!
And she should solve a puzzle of this size. Pat will now give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Carolyn begins.
Carolyn: R (x3) ($3,900)
Jason: N ($1,300)
Kari: T (x2) ($2,600)
Carolyn: S (x4) ($9,100)
Carolyn solves BROTHERS- & SISTERS-IN-LAW for plenty more cash!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
BGDO is an excellent combo for this one.

Kari solves THE BEST A MAN CAN GET. Implications arise if she can score a $3,000 bonus for identifying whose slogan this is.
Looks like she's innocent, but only because she guesses Chrysler instead of Gillette. She's no razor thief.

No man can get better than Charlie on our show. No man can give better, either. He's giving us a holiday at The Lowndes Hotel in London (labeled LUXURY) worth $6,500.
You can give better to the Jackpot space with every dollar spun on the Wheel.

In the post-game chat, they talk about how Vanna had a phone message just before coming out. Where did he file it? Away in her dress on a sticky note. Pat suspects she has an entire Rolodex in there.
