Airdate: September 28, 2006

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Great Outdoors Week!

The entrance of Pat and Vanna is all the signal our players need that a Toss-Up is about to start.

$1,000 Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Athena guesses STRAIGHT TO THE END. Not bad, but not correct.

PHRASE

Ryan solves STRAIGHT TO THE TOP.

Robin	Ryan	Athena
	$1,000

Straight to the chat!
Ryan Cowe: In the Diplomatic Corps with the US State Department currently preparing to move to Ukraine, from Arlington, VA
Athena Kick: Administrative assistant for a major insurance company, from Tinley Park, IL
Robin Thomas (female): Elementary school counselor, from Murfreesboro, TN (originally from Memphis)

While they were talking, Vanna was preparing to move back to the puzzle board for the next Toss-Up.

$2,000 Toss-Up

OCCUPATION

Go!

OCCUPATION

Ryan solves GRAPHIC DESIGNER.

Robin	Ryan	Athena
	$3,000

Remember to thank our designers for the Prize Wedge if you really want a Holland America Line cruise of Alaska's Glacier Bay (labeled CRUISE) worth $6,000.

We suspect you'll only land in the center of the $10,000 space if you thank whoever came up with that dumb skinny design.

BEFORE & AFTER

Ryan solves SUPERMAN RETURNS AND EXCHANGES.

Robin	Ryan	Athena (FS)
$6,150	$3,000	$1,100

No returns or exchanges once you pick up that Mystery Wedge. Not like you would do it if you found the $10,000 cash prize.

Athena solves BROWN EYED GIRL BY DAN MORRISON for the house minimum.

Robin	Ryan	Athena
$6,150	$3,000	$2,100

While they play a Toss-Up, Pat will look Charlie in the eyes for not reading the last category...even though Pat was too fast to give Charlie a chance.

$3,000 Toss-Up

AROUND THE HOUSE

Go!

AROUND THE HOUSE

We can fit another puzzle into this half hour.

Round 5

FOOD & DRINK

DING DING! DING DING!

Just one more, and we'll think about it after Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $500 + $1,000 for $1,500 a piece. Robin begins.

Ryan guesses TREACLE PUDDING.

Athena: P (x2) ($3,000) (She tried to spin first.)

FOOD & DRINK

Athena solves TAPIOCA PUDDING. She wishes that Pat spun a better number.

Robin	Ryan	Athena
$8,150	$3,000	$8,100

BONUS ROUND:

Robin won't have to dress up for Star Trek to win a prize that's out of this world! We'll take a look again:

New Jeep

New Audi

To seek out more cash ($25,000-$50,000)

...or go where few have gone before. ($100,000!)

She has her friend in the audience!

Robin will show us all her strength at the Bonus Wheel! She spins the single star, and we'll try to give her our best puzzle.

Apparently, she tried to spin it once, but it was discovered after a discarded puzzle that she did not spin it all the way around. Unlike some other show, we don't believe there was any booing...though if there was, it probably would've been towards the staff.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

CMDO gives her a little bit on the bottom.

THING

She thinks of POODLE, GOOD, GOODIE, and LIKE, but she does not solve WAVE GOODBYE...

...which she'll have to do to the $45,000. Robin leaves with $8,150 in cash and trip.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna admit that it's nice during the commercials when they play background music in the studios...but why off 8-tracks? That's what Pat doesn't get. How about something recorded after 1972?
