From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! One more day this week before we can finally Escape!
Keep an eye on those Toss-Up devices so they don't escape your hands, or keep an eye on the puzzle board?
Go!
Chip solves THE SEVEN DWARFS. "Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, Lumpy, Bumpy, and Sneaky."
He's Touchy, but who are the others?
Chip Atzbach: Firefighter, from Manchester, CT
Sandra Middleton: Jewelry designer and administrator, from Los Angeles, CA (a "Chicago transplant")
Renee Harris: Student at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine, from College Station, TX
Go!
Sandra solves PANAMA CANAL.
Chip solves A WHIRLWIND ROMANCE. Pat's amazed that firefighters can be nervous about playing this game.
A firefighter should also be brave enough to take an extra spin when the Jackpot is ripe for the picking.
Perfection! Renee solves ROASTED VEGETABLE LASAGNA, and she's on the board in a big way with a Collette Vacations tour of the Eternal City of Rome worth $5,700!
We begin the round where time slows down, feeling like an eternity before you decide to flip that Mystery Wedge and see if there's a Chevrolet Aveo worth $13,710.
Renee solves PRIME MINISTER OF NEW ZEALAND for cash and a pair of Gift Tags.
Go!
Chip solves PLASTIC SPATULA. Pat jokingly asks if we're running out of puzzles.
Well, Renee didn't mess up after all, but it's Chip who's looking at the $5,000 space as we start our round.
Perfection! Chip solves THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING.
DING DING! DING DING!
And to prove that we have nearly run out of time, Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.
Renee: R (x2) ($2,600)
Chip: L (DUD!)
Sandra: H (x2) ($2,600) (She raises her hand after the buzzer.)
Renee: N ($3,900)
Renee solves TEEN HEARTTHROB.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:

Sandra was ready for that last one, and for some reason, the "time's up" buzzer sounds with a only single buzz while she's laughing.
BONUS ROUND:
You can bet her heart was racing, but Renee has cleared the main game. She will now finish the week by winning one of these:
Audi TT convertible
Toyota 4Runner SUV
Get your hands on some cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...but this is what she's ready for! ($100,000!)
She has her mom and grandmother in the audience!
She's feeling like a kid as she spins that Bonus Wheel to pick a prize, but what's under the N in WIN remains a secret until after this puzzle is revealed entirely.

Not like she even had to do anything! Renee instantly solves SKUNK...
...and the kid in her will love a Toyota 4Runner SUV worth $29,666! She's outta here with $44,516 in cash and prizes!
In the post-game chat, Pat asks Vanna if she can name a song with the word "skunk" in the title. She can't. Pat can name one: "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" by Loudon Wainwright. Isn't that fascinating?
