From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is the Wheel Escape!
Our players won't be hunting for any Toss-Up money without their devices!
Go!
Scott solves MOTORIZED TIE RACK.
Starting with the guy in the tie...
Scott Mead: Internal auditor for a major financial company in Des Moines, also sings in weddings and directs a church choir; from Polk City, IA
Carlee Craenen: High school English and psychology teacher, from Gilbert, AZ (originally from Ohio, but just moved to Phoenix 2 weeks ago)
Go!
Nue solves ST. LAWRENCE RIVER.
Carlee solves THE PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE.
The life of the Jackpot space is nothing but building up money and waiting for the moment that someone solves a puzzle.
Perfection! Scott solves CLAMS ON THE HALF SHELL for all that money, and we can guess what he's ordering from now on.
This is a round where the Free Spin could be useful for Carlee. She has more incentive to flip over a Mystery Wedge and look for a $10,000 cash prize.
Nue solves NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE COMMISSIONER, and she scores this goal for a holiday at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in the Canadian Rockies worth $6,150!
Go!
Scott solves BURNING QUESTION.
He must question if his own lead is safe, but we know it isn't when there's a $5,000 space that anyone can hit.
DING DING! DING DING!
The Wheel pegs are now burning hot, and Pat must grab them to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece!
Perfection! Scott solves MARY-KATE & ASHLEY OLSEN to finish with another great round!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
CDBO fills in a couple more spaces.

Keānuenue "Nue" Nekora: Mother of two daughters, from Honolulu, HI
Nue's first name is actually much, much, MUCH longer than that...and this recapper isn't even gonna try to spell it. 
After being all tied up in conversation, we need to play another Toss-Up round.

Nue solves ST. LAWRENCE RIVER.
Carlee | Nue | Scott |
$2,000 | $1,000 |
You could never fit her first name on a Wheel wedge, and even less likely on a wedge the size of the $10,000 space.
You could fit Charlie's first name on any space, but what we really need our Prize Wedge for is an Icelandair holiday in Reykjavik (labeled ESCAPE!) worth $9,500.

An incorrect vowel from Carlee was edited out before the D call. Her score displayed before the F call suggests another edit later on, though it could also have been a $500 deduction for the I.

BONUS ROUND:
Scott has a knack for big solves, so he's a natural for the Bonus Round where he can win one of these:
Land Rover Freelander
Jeep Wrangler
Half shells of cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...or break open the one-and-only! ($100,000!)
He has his wife and parents in the audience!
Only a few prizes in the Bonus Wheel can top what he won in the main game. Scott spins the S in CASH, and he'll now face our bonus puzzle.

"Let's try BEGONIAS!" That was an excellent try!
Our excellent host has for him a Land Rover Freelander SUV worth $30,595! Scott escapes with $72,045 in cash and prizes!
In the post-game chat, Pat realized that if you take the letters in "begonias" and rearrange them, you can spell "Abe go sin". 
But let's take a look at another version of Wheel from around the world. In Ecuador, we have Rueda de la Fortuna...so of course the video starts with the local hosts on their Jeopardy! set.
