Airdate: April 27, 2006

For the woman at the office who has seconds to make it home to watch the show, it's America's Game! This is Ultimate Adventures Week!

Sometimes, just a single Toss-Up puzzle is enough for you to decide if our writing gets high marks.

$1,000 Toss-Up

She has more than enough energy to give that Bonus Wheel a spin! Her envelope is in the 10,000's digit, and her puzzle is over there.

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

DGMO only makes the middle word obvious.

PHRASE

Near the end, she tries to whisper something for the first word. She does not solve THICK AND JUICY...

...and she can't juice up the Winnebago. Robin still did great, and she finishes with $30,900 in cash and prizes.

In the post-game chat, Vanna has a question for Pat. Does he go to the grocery store? Yes, he does. Vanna was curious, and Pat says hardly a week goes by rummaging through the ramen. Does he do paper or plastic? He actually likes the feeling of paper, but you can carry a lot of plastic bags home. Vanna carries her own bags to the store. Not only is she friendly, but she's also environmentally friendly.
