For the family and dog who just made it from dinner to watch the show at 7 PM, it's America's game! Welcome to Wheel Watchers Club week!
We go the extra mile to be sure you can see these Toss-Up puzzles, and also to play those rounds.
Go!
Reka solves DODGE CITY KANSAS.
Guess where they aren't!
Reka Ani: Bartender/karaoke host ("the hostess with the mostest"), from San Diego, CA
Charlotte Easton: Grade 1 teacher, from Cabot, AR
Go!
Dick begins to answer, but it's Reka who rings in to solve LORD OF THE FLIES.
Dick solves PRECIOUS NATURAL RESOURCES to keep the cash and Gift Tag.
How about an eco-friendly Jackpot space for our Wheel? Actually, we can just reuse the same space every single show.
Reka solves FROZEN TROPICAL DRINKS, giving her just a little money for drinks when she's on a trip to Jamaica and stay at Wyndham Rose Hall Resort & Country Club worth $5,000.
Just a little money is not too much to risk on a Mystery Wedge, because you could win something better: A Chevrolet Aveo worth $13,710!
Reka solves TOO MUCH INFORMATION DESK.
Go!
Charlotte says CHEESE GRATER.
Reka rings in with silence.
Dick solves COFFEE GRINDER.
Since it's a family show, we've got coffee and cheese for the one who can join our exclusive club of $5,000 spinners.
DING DING! DING DING!
And short rounds like this keep that club exclusive. It's time for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.
Dick: S (x2) ($4,200)
Perfection! Dick solves KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET.
