(Pat and Vanna remind viewers to donate to relief from Hurricane Katrina.)

From the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, it's America's game! One last taste of Fabulous Food Week!

Good thing this Toss-Up is not the last chance for our players to chase some dollar bills.

$1,000 Toss-Up

TITLE

Go!

TITLE

Michelle solves GREEN EGGS AND HAM.

Michelle	Andranecia	John
$1,000

Last, but not least, we have:
Michelle Luke: Special education teacher, and just recently completed her course work for her Master's degree in special ed from Southeastern Louisiana University; from Houma
Andranecia Cox: Attends historical Dillard University where she majors in nursing, from New Orleans (originally from Dallas, TX)

John Cooper: Wastewater plant operator, from Robertsdale, AL

Maybe we should've replaced those Toss-Up devices with green ones just to be funny.

$2,000 Toss-Up

IN THE KITCHEN

Go!

IN THE KITCHEN

John solves SPICE RACK. Pat jokes that a new category will be "In the Pantry Near the Mop."

Michelle	Andranecia	John
$1,000		$2,000

We don't really have to replace the $10,000 space. We could just flip it over to be kind, but there's still someone out there who hates that idea.

And now for the irreplaceable Charlie! We've got one more Wheel Prize this week, and it's a U.S. Cellular concert holiday in Chicago with limo service to the Hotel Monaco, dinner at Southwater kitchen, and tour of world-famous Millennium Park (labeled CHICAGO) worth $6,630.

Round 1

THINGS

* PRIZE PUZZLE! *

(Again, the second chime does not sound.)

Michelle	Andranecia	JOHN
		Gift Tag: S $300: R (x3) $600: D -$250: E -$250: A $300: L (x2) $450: C (DUD!)

$950		$2,150+

THINGS

John solves FRUITY UMBRELLA DRINKS. Are those not menu options when he goes on a Windjammer Barefoot Cruises Caribbean cruise worth $5,360?

Michelle	Andranecia	John
$1,000		$10,510

So opening an umbrella inside is bad luck, but since we've got a Jackpot space on our Wheel, it looks like setting off fireworks indoors is not!

Round 2

SAME NAME

MICHELLE	Andranecia	John
$300: R (x2) -$250: E Gift Tag: N $3,500: G (DUD!)	$400: T (DUD!)	$400: L $550: D (DUD!)

SAME NAME

Michelle solves LOUISIANA & PROOF OF PURCHASE for some cash and a Gift Tag.

Michelle	Andranecia	John
$4,200		$10,510

Proof that you came here to win would be if you flipped over a Mystery Wedge, because you could find a $10,000 cash prize.

Round 3

ON THE MENU

Michelle	ANDRANECIA	John
	$900: D (DUD!)	(?) $1,000: R (x2) (He flips it... ...BANKRUPT! ($0))

ON THE MENU

Andranecia solves WARM FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE.

Michelle	Andranecia	John
$4,200	$1,150	$10,510

It could be the start of something big, and for Andranecia, this Toss-Up will surely feel big on its own.

$3,000 Toss-Up

FUN & GAMES

Go!

FUN & GAMES

John guesses RELAY RACE, which is one letter short.

FUN & GAMES

Michelle solves RELAY RACES.

Michelle	Andranecia	John
$7,200	$1,150	$10,510

She begins our next round in our race to the end, and she's ready to spin! "In a moment!"

Round 4

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

Wait! Since we're racing against the clock, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin instead! Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Michelle starts.

PHRASE

Andranecia solves I'LL START MY DIET TOMORROW.

Michelle	Andranecia	John
$7,200	$5,950	$10,510

BONUS ROUND:

John will presumably cheat on his diet if he wins some restaurant money in the Bonus Round. We also have cars. And then...there's the $100,000.

He has his sister and niece in the audience!

To give him a little exercise, he'll spin that Bonus Wheel, and he'll grab the envelope from the A in CASH. We finish with this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THINGS

RSTLNE gives him:

THINGS

DCMI sounds like reasonable picks...

...but Vanna is stuck to the floor.

He says PONDER RANKS, and Pat wonders what he'll think of next. He does not solve HUNGER PANGS...

...and he won't be dining out with $25,000 more. John leaves with $10,510 in cash and prizes.

Pat and Vanna do one more restaurant tour, finishing at K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen. It opened in 1979 and is open for business! They were invited into the kitchen to learn the secret for making an amazing dish: Blackened Prime Rib! We put some butter on the steak, add blackening seasonings, then drop it in the pan, and with the herbs and spices, it's good! As usual, they eat during the post-game chat.

They have to eat now, but we've got more New Orleans next week!
