From the Kansas City Convention Center, it's America's game! We've been accepted for Big XII College Week!
We accept only the highest grade Toss-Ups this week. At least we think we do...
Go!
Ricky solves USE YOUR NOODLE.
First to think of what they should say:
Ricky Fursetzer: Sophomore at University of Kansas studying music business, and his grandma is celebrating her 90th birthday; from Minnetonka, MN
Kisha Franklin: 5th year student at Texas A&M and resident advisor, wants to be an actress; from Fort Worth, TX
Go!
Kate solves MIAMI BEACH FLORIDA.
We'll also make sure she doesn't snap the pegs off our Wheel. We wouldn't want that to happen around the one-third $10,000 space.
Kisha solves LEARNING TO DANCE THE TANGO. She can try to make that her happy dance! It is a Prize Puzzle, so we're awarding her an STA Travel trip to Argentina with $1,000 spending cash worth $8,200.
They can practice the tango while we're adding our first Wheel prize of the week, which is a Contiki Holidays trip to Europe including Berlin, Prague, and Vienna (labeled EUROPE) worth $5,610.
Ricky solves I BEFORE E EXCEPT AFTER C.
Or when sounding like A...as you weigh the risk of the two Mystery Wedges in the neighborhood? That flip could be a BANKRUPT, but it could be an eBay shopping spree worth $10,000.
Kate says WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY TOGETHER.
Kate recovers to solve WHERE THE DEER AND THE ANTELOPE PLAY TWISTER.
Go!
Ricky solves CHEMISTRY LAB.
Another chance for perfect chemistry with that Wheel.
DING DING! DING DING!
Another chance for Pat, that is. He give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $450 + $1,000 for $1,450 a piece. Ricky is first.
Ricky: T ($1,450) (He shouts WHEEL OF FORTUNE.)
Kisha: N (x2) ($2,900)
Kate: S (x2) ($2,900)
Ricky: L ($2,900)

Someone was excited about Kate also being in the Delta Gamma Sorority, and Pat assumed that someone got the electric seat.
Be sure not to snap that Toss-Up buzzer off its noodle. We need to be cautious when we're on the road.
