Airdate: April 6, 2006

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Armed Forces Week!

We gesture to our contestants that it's time for our first Toss-Up round.

$1,000 Toss-Up

SONG TITLE

SONG TITLE

Victoria solves YOU'RE A GRAND OLD FLAG.

Victoria	Rick	Jack
$1,000

Their host is even older than the current flag.
Victoria Dougherty: Senior Airman stationed out of Edwards AFB with the 412 Air Craft Maintenance Squadron, and she's an F-16 avionics specialist; her husband is also serving while they have 2 kids; from Las Vegas, NV
Rick Hawkins: Lieutenant Commander in the Coast Guard for almost 19 years so far, stationed in San Pedro at the station in L.A. and Long Beach, and expecting to retire within a year; he also flew his son to the show to play hooky; from Columbia, SC
Jack Landreth: Major in the Marines Corps, also serving for 19 years and retiring soon; he's a harrier pilot currently instructing the T-45 Goshawk strike training with VT-7; from Meridian, MS

Vanna is nowhere close to retirement. She's also been away for long enough, and we must bring her back for a Toss-Up.

$2,000 Toss-Up

IN THE KITCHEN

Go!

IN THE KITCHEN

Victoria solves ALUMINUM FOIL.

Victoria	Rick	Jack
$3,000

It's her duty to unwrap a shiny $10,000 space on our Wheel.

And it's Charlie's duty to announce our Wheel Prize for the day. We've got a Collette Vacations holiday in New York City (labeled NEW YORK) worth $4,602.

Round 1

NEW YORK: T $350: R (x3) -$250: E -$250: A (x2) $450: S (DUD!)	$300: F $900: M (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)
$550+	$300
Solve: Correct!
$550+

PROPER NAME

Victoria wants her trip now, so she solves ACTOR COLIN FARRELL.

Victoria	Rick	Jack
$8,152

Before the next round begins, Pat says that Charlie was in the military and asks if he fought for the North or the South.

Anyway, Victoria is saving her patience for the next round where we can build up that Jackpot value.

Round 2

THING

* PRIZE PUZZLE! *

Victoria	RICK	Jack
	$300: T (x2) $400: S (x4) -$250: E (x2) Gift Tag: C (x2) $300: H (x3) -$250: O (DUD!)	$3,500: W -$250: I (x3) Gift Tag: F (x3) -$250: A (DUD!)

Pat accidentally said that Victoria picked up a Gift Tag before catching himself.

THING

JACKPOT! Victoria solves DRESS SHIRT WITH FRENCH CUFFS to throw in some cash from a $10,200 pot! Would she also accept a lastminutetravel.com holiday in Nice, France worth $4,000?

Victoria	Rick	Jack
$22,652

So, Jack hasn't hit any "normal" cash spaces yet. Maybe he'll go straight to the Mystery Wedge with a $10,000 cash prize?

Round 3

BEFORE & AFTER

Victoria	Rick	JACK
		$600: N (?) $1,000: G (He declines. It's the BANKRUPT.) $300: R (x3) -$250: A (x3) -$250: E (x5) $800: L (x3) -$250: I (x2) $400: T (?): $1,000: P (Another decline. It's now on $10,000.) $900: M (DUD!)

$2,000

Jack almost started saying G or J before changing to T, and he made his change just in time.

BEFORE & AFTER

Victoria solves VARIABLE SPEED DRILL SERGEANT.

Victoria	Rick	Jack
$24,652

One mystery that we think Jack can stomach is the order that the letters appear in this Toss-Up.

$3,000 Toss-Up

ON THE MENU

Go!

ON THE MENU

Rick solves STUFFED SHELLS to end the red streak.

Victoria	Rick	Jack
$24,652	$3,000

Now he would like to stuff his pockets with cash from the $5,000 space.

Round 4

PHRASE

Victoria	RICK	Jack
	$800: T (x2)
	$1,600

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

Whether he can still stuff his pockets is up to Pat. Time to give the Wheel a Final Spin! Consonants are worth $450 + $1,000 for $1,450 a piece.

Rick: H ($3,050)
Jack: R (x2) ($2,900)
Victoria: S (DUD!)
Rick: D (x2) ($5,950)
Jack: L (DUD!)
Victoria: W ($1,450)

PHRASE

Victoria solves BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD before Vanna can even reveal the W.

Victoria	Rick	Jack
$26,102	$3,000

It's not as simple as starting over for Jack. This was his one chance, and now he's outta here with a $1,000 consolation prize.

BONUS ROUND:

After thinking about France for a little while, Jack will think about a bonus prize. What do we have?

Chevrolet HHR

Jeep Commander

Draw some cash ($25,000-$50,000)

...or a grand old prize! ($100,000!)

She has two of her best friends in the audience!

We stuffed a lot of great prizes into that Bonus Wheel, and Victoria spins the 1,000's digit. We've got her puzzle on the board!

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

Very well. Let's try CDHO instead.

THING

She tries PUSHHOOP, MASHHOOP, BUSHHOOP, BASHHOOP, MASHHOOP, PASHHOOP, and FOSHHOOP. She ends up solving FISHHOOK one second too late...

...so she's too late to catch the Chevy HHR. Victoria still finishes with $26,102 in cash and trips.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna are thinking about some of the military exploits that the show has had. Pat thinks about the carrier in Norfolk, and Pat forgot how long ago that was. He thought it was 5 years ago, but it was 10 years (actually closer to 11 years based on airdate).
