For the woman at the office who has seconds to make it home to watch the show, it's America's Game! This is Safari So Good!
A healthy dose of solving without the risk, some Toss-Up puzzles will be so good for our players.
Go!
Michelle solves PROUD AS A PEACOCK.
Our proud trio (all female):
Michelle Alvarez: Research assistant, also a graduate student at San Diego State pursuing a Master's of science and chemistry; from San Diego, CA
Kelli Scantlin: Engaged, also a student at University of Oklahoma Health Science Center getting a Master's in speech and language pathology; from Stigler, OK
Kris Colburn: Graphic designer and inventor of a health care product that she's trying to market, also an "Air Force Veteran" (back in the 80's, Cold War, she was in West Texas, pretty boring); from Renton, WA
Go!
Michelle solves DARTH VADER.
It's a deep dark secret where the Jackpot space is hidden before the round begins. Or maybe it's just a deep dark space. Who knows, really?
Michelle solves POWDERED LAUNDRY DETERGENT.
Get the bad luck out of the way, leaving only the good. You know you can flip that Mystery Wedge for a $10,000 cash prize!
Kris solves WARM CORN OR FLOUR TORTILLAS, and it's the Prize Puzzle! She thought she'd win the Alaska trip ("home of the flour tortilla"), but she's actually getting a trip to Cancun and stay at the Royal Solaris worth $4,800.
Go!
Kelli solves MARKETING MANAGER for some cash.
She's gotten off the ground, and it's anybody's game as she begins this round.
DING DING! DING DING!
It's also anybody's turn, as we're running out of time. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Kelli starts.
Kelli: S (x2) ($2,600)
Kris: R ($1,300)
Michelle: T (x2) ($2,600)
Kelli: N (DUD!)
Kris: L (DUD!)
Michelle: D (DUD!)
Kelli: M (x4) ($7,800)
Kris: C ($3,900)
Michelle: P ($3,900)
Kelli solves COMMEMORATIVE STAMPS for the come-from-behind victory!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
DBGA fills in the right ends, but that's it.

It looked like she was onto something, but CEILING FAN won't work. She also thinks of CAN, but she does not solve MOVING VAN...
...and the Jeep Wrangler won't be moving in with her. Kelli finishes with $12,100 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat hesitates to say the name of the week again. However, we have been giving away some exotic trips this week! Vanna hasn't been on a safari yet! Pat suggests that they give it a try, though he'll have to pack his camera and his hippo repellent.
