From the Kansas City Convention Center, it's America's game! The last days of Big XII College Week before we're history!
And making history on our show often begins with a simple Toss-Up puzzle.
Go!
Michael solves PIE-EATING CONTEST.
And no talking with your mouth full.
Michael Gilbert: Junior at Oklahoma State studying broadcast journalism, hopes to enter the entertainment industry; from Oklahoma City, OK
Lauren Lindal: Junior at Kansas State University double majoring in management and entrepreneurship while minoring in Spanish and leadership studies; she also studied in Spain last summer; from Olathe, KS
David Ettinger: Sophomore at University of Colorado Boulder business school trying to figure out accounting and finance, also in the president's leadership class; from Denver, CO
Go!
Michael says DADS & GRASS, and the audience laughs.
Lauren solves DADS & GRADS. Pat liked Michael's guess more, though he seems to have flunked poetry.
Graduation still feels like a long way off. It's only our first round, and time can feel even slower if you're holding the $10,000 prize.
Michael solves BREAKFAST SERVED ALL DAY.
Lauren solves FRATERNITY ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.
The stream might not be so gentle during our Mystery Round. You could end up rowing into a BANKRUPT, or you could find your way to an eBay shopping spree worth $10,000.
David solves APPLYING FOR A PASSPORT. Even though it's a Prize Puzzle, you never know where he'd end up. How about on an STA Travel trip to Costa Rica with $1,000 spending cash worth $5,000?
Go!
David solves SCENIC OVERLOOK.
He's hot, now! He's not gonna overlook that we have a $5,000 space on the Wheel, is he?
DING DING! DING DING!
We're not gonna overlook the clock. We'll have Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece.
Michael: L ($1,500)
Lauren: R ($1,500)
David: S (x3) ($5,400)
Michael: M (DUD!)
Lauren: T (x2) ($4,500)
David: B ($6,900)
David solves T-SHIRTS AND BLUE JEANS.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
MPDO is an okay combo today.

In the post-game chat, Vanna can't believe it's the last night. It's taken 20 years to get her to Kansas City, and Pat promises it won't take that long again. They thank all the schools in the Big XII for helping out.
