Have a Toss-Up puzzle fresh from the oven...a way to say from our computer that's now fried.

Whether LA is short for "Louisiana" or "Los Angeles", there is a house where a Jackpot can be won.

Oh, and Pat holds up a giant 3 card, because he's supposed to know it's player 3's turn. "Could you make a card any bigger than this? This is actually bigger than player 3!"

Janet solves SMART COOKIE.

Janet	Ray	Tasha
$29,566	$2,000

She certainly scores like a smart cookie. She hasn't even lost a turn, so the $5,000 space could be all hers!

Round 4

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

JANET	Ray	Tasha
$600: S (x2)
$1,200

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

DING DING! DING DING!

And sounding the bell that early is dumb. There's not much we can do but let Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $400 + $1,000 for $1,400 a piece.

Janet: T (x2) ($4,000)
Ray: H (x2) ($2,800)
Tasha: R (x2) ($2,800)

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Ray solves THE GORTON'S FISHERMAN.

Janet	Ray	Tasha
$29,566	$6,200

After one bad spin, Tasha barely even had a chance to recover. She's now heading out with the $1,000 consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

We didn't witness a single mistake from Janet in the whole game, but how will she do in Bonus Land? We could give her:

Nissan convertible

New Volvo

Fish for some cash ($25,000-$50,000)

...or the biggest catch! ($100,000!)

She has her husband and two daughters in the audience!

Now for a taste of our Bonus Wheel, and Janet gives it a spin! After hitting the dollar sign, she gets this bonus puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

LIVING THING

RSTLNE gives her:

LIVING THING

What will she catch with MDPA?

LIVING THING

She starts with HAL- and BAL-, then tries BALLPIT, followed by CAL- and CULPRIT. She does not solve HALIBUT...

...and we must throw back the $25,000. Janet still leaves with $29,566 in cash and trips.

Pat and Vanna take a look of one of the oldest restaurants in America, Antoine's, which is preparing to re-open for business. They've served presidents, heads-of-state, and even popes. For the game show hosts, they've prepared a fabulous fish creation, Filet de Truite Au Vin Blanc. They each have their own plate for the post-game chat.
