For the lonely man who's late for his meetup with the pizza man, it's America's game! We're having fun with the Wheel Watchers Club!
From the puzzle writers club, we've got our first Toss-Up ready to light up.
Go!
Gregory solves WAR OF THE WORLDS.
A war without tears begins:
Gregory Mitchell: Systems analyst, and a father of two expecting twin boys soon; from Southfield, MI
Robin Kennedy: Licensed massage therapist (may we see your license?), and her husband's a chiropractor, and they have a home office; from Cortland, NY
Go!
Amanda solves CALLA LILIES.
Gregory solves HOT BUTTERED ROLLS-ROYCE.
Did your buttery fingers slip? No worries if the resulting spin lands on our Jackpot space.
Without any more reveals, Gregory solves MYSTERIOUS DRAMA SERIES LOST for cash and some Gift Tags.
Our contestants are lost in the mystery! One of our players must find a Mystery Wedge with a Chevrolet Aveo worth $13,710!
Gregory starts with DEAF, but he starts over and solves DEATH-DEFYING CLIFF DIVERS for the cash and car! As the cherry on top, he's also got a trip to Mexico and stay at El Cid Castilla Beach Hotel worth $4,560.
Go!
Gregory solves SHOOTING HOOPS.
Just another slam dunk for him, and he starts the next round, too.
DING DING! DING DING!
He won't be holding on for long, because Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! See? Fate has not been sealed!
Gregory: T (DUD!) (Vanna almost starts walking.)
Robin: R (x3!) ($18,000)
Amanda: N (DUD!)
Gregory: S (x2) ($12,000)
Robin: M (DUD!)

What if some lilies start growing from that $10,000 space? Maybe that's not just ordinary glitter.
Maybe this is not just an ordinary prize, but maybe so. We think you'll love to win a holiday at Luxor Las Vegas including fine dining, spas, swimming pools, and Blue Man Group (labeled LAS VEGAS) worth $5,013.

BONUS ROUND:
We saw the whites of Gregory's eyes for a moment, but he's safe now. Time for a trip to Bonus Land where he can win a car or cash up to $100,000!
He has his sister in the audience!
Time to see how well Gregory can spin that Bonus Wheel! He hits the singles digit, and there's a puzzle on the board:

He guesses A PILE and A PALE, but nothing else. He does not solve A GULF...
...and the $25,000 gets lost in that gulf. Hardly a downer, as Gregory already has $35,370 in cash and prizes.
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna remind the viewers about the Wheel Watchers Club. It's like a "frequent flyer club" where you can earn points just for watching the show, you can redeem for cool stuff, and it's a fun site. And it's free to sign up!
