Airdate: November 17, 2005

(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! Just another day to Celebrate New Orleans!

(The $1,000 Toss-Up was cut from the original airing, but it is confirmed that Kim solved the Landmark puzzle THE LOUISIANA SUPERDOME. An update could come later.)

Shanna	Kim	Norman
	$1,000

Bring on our next trio!
Kim Lot: Grade 5 math, science, and social studies teacher; from Slidell
Norman Schoenhart: Software engineer for a major defense contractor, doing most of his work for the Navy; from Chalmette
Shanna Pegas: Advertising rep, from Gulfport, MS

Norman does have an interesting dream, though he was hoping Pat wouldn't go there. On his car, he wrote that he dreams about Vanna White.

Vanna continues to defend the puzzleboard so this next Toss-Up round goes smoothly!

$2,000 Toss-Up

THE 70s

Go!

THE 70s

Kim solves DISCO FEVER. Pat asks if she had it.

Shanna	Kim	Norman
	$3,000

We believe she had the less embarrassing dream of winning our $10,000 prize.

Now for a prize that is interesting, but by no means embarrassing. Our Wheel Prize is an NWA World Vacations holiday in Amsterdam including canals, windmills, and tulip fields (labeled EUROPE) worth $6,100.

PHRASE

Shanna solves MORE FUN THAN A BARREL OF MONKEYS.

Pat thinks it was about 15 years ago that they had the same puzzle, and someone guessed MORE FUN THAN A BARREL OF VIKINGS. "Absolutely true."

Shanna (FS)	Kim	Norman
$3,450	$3,000

We can't say it's absolutely true, but the Mystery Wedge you choose may be the one with a $10,000 cash prize under it.

EVENT

	$1,450

SHOW BIZ

Kim solves COMPOSER & LYRICIST. Not easy to say, is it?

Shanna	Kim	Norman
$14,850	$4,450

This is easy to say! Let's play another round!

Round 5

PROPER NAME

DING DING! DING DING!

But easier said than done. We must speed it up and ask Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! Pat's just showin' off.

Kim: S (x2) ($12,000)

PROPER NAME

Kim immediately guesses BRITNEY SPEARS.

Norman: T (DUD!)
Shanna: L (DUD!)
Kim: C ($18,000)
Norman: N ($6,000)

Shanna: R (x2) ($12,000)

PROPER NAME

Shanna solves RICHARD SIMMONS for her best round so far! Maybe he can teach Pat how to work out.

Shanna	Kim	Norman
$26,850	$4,450

Easier said than done for Norman. He thought he could win something, but he ends up with just a $1,000 consolation prize.

Pat invites Vanna over to give Norman a hug, and he also kisses her on the cheek.

BONUS ROUND:

Pat can trust her to stand still for a bit, and how he can trust her to give it her all in Bonus Land to win a car or cash up to $100,000.

She has two brothers, her parents, her husband, and her young daughter in the audience!

Shanna will have to wait to celebrate with Vanna until after she spins the Bonus Wheel, grabs the U in BONUS, then solves this puzzle.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

CDPA gives her a couple of vowels.

PHRASE

She tries LABER, LAMER, LAWER, LACKER, LADGER, LAFFER, and LAZZER for the second word. She does not solve A LAUGH RIOT...

...and it's not funny that she couldn't take the $25,000. Shanna still leaves with $26,850 in cash and trip.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna thank Rockin Dopsie, Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters for performing on the stage. Pat thinks there's a "Senior", and they are in fact 2nd generation. His father was one of the original musicians that invented Zydeco music. It's basically rhythm, blues, love, and jazz, and they kinda name it after snap bean in French. Also, Pat's not going in for a dental X-ray; he's actually going to attempt to play along, and Vanna has her tambourine.
