For the family and dog who just made it from dinner to watch the show at 7 PM, it's America's game! This is Tiki Time Week!
After browsing for the perfect contestants, let's see if one of them gets the perfect Toss-Up!
Go!
Matt solves BAMBOO FURNITURE.
They just got out of that furniture minutes ago:
Matt Arnold: Research assistant chemist at Cal Poly State University, from San Luis Obispo, CA
Lauren Shreve: Graphic designer and aerobics instructor, celebrating her 2-year wedding anniversary in a month; from Overland Park, KS
Teresa Smith: Respiratory therapist who also opened her own retail clothing store with her husband, and she's the 10th of 12 siblings; from Clarksville, AR
Go!
Lauren solves COMPUTER CONSULTANT.
(Sort of) Perfection! Lauren solves FEATURE-LENGTH DOCUMENTARY.
Perfection! Teresa solves FRESH ASPARAGUS WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE to win the trip. She has a plane to catch!
Lauren solves I'M SITTIN' ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY...and she's quickly adding a holiday at St James's Club Antigua worth $5,220.
Go!
Matt solves CAPACITY CROWD.
They crowd those puzzles into a few short minutes, and the $5,000 space arrived quickly!
Lauren solves THREE-BEDROOM APARTMENT.
Teresa solves HOW SWEET IT IS.
In what may be a historic moment for Round 6, Lauren gives a wrong guess of LASTING EXPRESSIONS during regular play.
Teresa solves LASTING IMPRESSIONS.
DING DING! DING DING!
And guess what? Time is finally running out! Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Matt begins!
Matt: T (x2) ($2,600)
Lauren: R ($1,300)
Teresa: H (x2) ($2,600)
Matt: L (DUD!)
Lauren: N ($2,600)

Teresa doesn't need to worry about Vanna running out of breath at the board. Toss-Ups are even easier to endure.

We got some consulting on the best puzzles, and we should also discuss something more reliable than a one-third $10,000 space to award that prize.
For now, we call in Charlie to show us our Wheel prize. Today, we get a holiday at Maruba Resort Jungle Spa Belize (labeled BELIZE) worth $6,620.
