Tonight, the winner of the "Vanna for a Day" sweepstakes is announced! But let's get Thursday's edition of "Sand & Sea" started.
$1,000 Tossup - THINGS
M A S T _

Jared solves MASTS & SAILS. Tonight's contestants are...

PRIZE ON THE WHEEL: trip to Sicily from EZ-Italy.com worth a whopping $10,212!
Jackpot Round - FICTIONAL CHARACTERS
Jenny immediately BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side. Next, Jared picks up that MDW with an S. A little later, he picks up the Lobster Gram gift tag with an R. After some work, he buys a bad vowel in O. Towards the end, Jenny BANKRUPTS again to give back $800. That prompts Jared to solve...
G I L L I G A N / A N D
