From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We Get Out Of Town...and out of the studio after day's end.

The real question...is Vanna stuck in the studio? Either way, she might as well show us this Toss-Up puzzle.

$1,000 Toss-Up

ON THE MAP

Go!

ON THE MAP

Lori solves FARGO NORTH DAKOTA.

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$1,000

Pat's not worthy of this great trio! (all female)
Lori Jorgensen: "Domestic goddess" to her husband of 13 years and 3 children, from Highlands Ranch, CO (but used to live an hour from Fargo)
Marsha Moore: Works as an anesthesiology program coordinator for a Southern hospital, from Hermitage, TN
Stephanie Miles: Student at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, also chauffeurs an equestrian team; from Longview

Then again, this trio is not worthy if the next Toss-Up puzzle goes unsolved.

$2,000 Toss-Up

PHRASE

Go!

PHRASE

Lori solves STANDING TALL.

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$3,000

Will you please stand up for Charlie and our Wheel Prize, a Collette Vacations Banff-Lake Louise Sunshine Genuine Winter Adventure (labeled CANADA) worth $5,858.

Surely, that $10,000 space looks tall...but it's just unnecessarily slim.

Round 1

THINGS

Marsha solves DESIGNER PERFUMES AND COLOGNES to fatten her wallet with the cash prize!

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$3,000	$12,050

With one big win already, will the thought of a Jackpot win be enough for our anesthesiology coordinator to pass out?

Round 2

BEFORE & AFTER

Lori	MARSHA	Stephanie
	$300: T (x4) $600: S (x2) -$250: O (x2) $450: F -$250: I (x3) $600: N (x3) $300: G $600: H (x2) -$250: E (x3) Gift Tag: W $800: R BANKRUPT! ($7,200)	$700: P BANKRUPT! ($700)

BEFORE & AFTER

Lori solves TEETH-WHITENING STRIPS OF BACON. A lovelier scent than any perfume or cologne you could ever imagine.

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$4,150	$12,050

How many of this trio are prepared to strip a Mystery Wedge off the Wheel? The ones who actually want that $10,000 cash prize.

Round 3

PEOPLE

Lori	Marsha	STEPHANIE
		$900: S (x4) CANADA: T -$250: E (x3) $600: R (x4) -$250: A (x3) (?) $1,000: N (She declines. It's the BANKRUPT.) -$250: I $800: L $300: P -$250: O (x2) $300: F (x2) Solve: Correct!
		$7,700+

PEOPLE

Perfection! Stephanie solves PROFESSIONAL & AMATEUR SURFERS, and she'll cover the cold and the warm with her Banff holiday plus our Prize Puzzle trip, a holiday at Turtle Bay Resort True Hawai'i worth $5,100.

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$4,150	$12,050	$18,658

Professional and amateur solvers merely watch as this trio faces our third Toss-Up puzzle.

$3,000 Toss-Up

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Go!

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Marsha solves HELLO KITTY.

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$4,150	$15,050	$18,658

No doubt she'll be saying hello to the $5,000 space with the way things are going!

Round 4

OCCUPATION

Lori	MARSHA	Stephanie
	$500: S (x3) $500: T (x4) -$250: O $300: N (x2) $300: D -$250: E (x3) Solve: Correct!
	$3,900

Marsha asked to buy "a O", which sounded confusing at first. At least she still would've had her turn.

OCCUPATION

Perfection! Marsha solves UNITED STATES SENATOR for a slim lead.

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$4,150	$18,950	$18,658

Stephanie knows what to do, and that is to solve our next puzzle. Just the house minimum would help her win.

Round 5

EVENT

DING DING! DING DING!

And this session will have to end soon, so Pat's giving the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Stephanie starts.

Stephanie: S ($1,600)
Lori: N ($1,600)
Marsha: T (DUD!) (Pat accidentally called Lori next.)
Stephanie: G ($3,200)
Lori: L ($3,200)
Marsha: D (x2) ($3,200)

EVENT

Marsha says WEDDING but nothing else.

Stephanie: A (x2) ($3,200)

EVENT

Stephanie solves WEDDING REHEARSAL, and she has her win!

Lori	Marsha	Stephanie
$4,150	$18,950	$21,858

BONUS ROUND:

Can Lori say "I do!" to any of our bonus prizes? We do have these:

Volkswagen Beetle

Hot convertible

We'll get out some cash ($25,000-$50,000)

...but it's really all about this! ($100,000!)

She has her parents in the audience!

She'll give the Bonus Wheel one more spin to end the week, and she's married to the S in CASH. We'll get out one more puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

HFMI will only provide one more consonant.

PHRASE

She tries SHAVE and SHAPE, but she does not solve SHOCK VALUE...

...and Pat's shocked to see the $40,000 inside. Stephanie feels good with $21,858 in cash and trips.

In the post-game chat, Pat brings up FARGO NORTH DAKOTA as a puzzle, which reminded Vanna about South Dakota and Mount Rushmore. She's never been there, and neither has Pat.

Can she name the presidents on Mount Rushmore? Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt...and she doesn't remember the last one. It's Lincoln, obviously.
