From the Nokia Center at Grand Prairie in Dallas, it's America's game! Welcome to Best Friends Week!
With two per spot, our teams can feel twice as lucky with the Toss-Up letter reveals!
Go!
Mason & Spencer solve MAID OF HONOR before Pat can even call their names.
Starting with the obvious non-maids:
Mason & Spencer: Best friends since Grade 6, both from Dallas. Mason is a freshman at Stanford University planning to major in international relations. Spencer is a freshman at University of Texas planning to major in international business and Spanish.
Glenda & Nancy: Best friends for 30 years. Glenda has been working for the world's largest retailer for 19 years. Nancy lives in Garland, and she works for one of the nation's largest masonry contractors.
Kim & Bridgitte: Friends for 4 years and met in high school. Kim teaches aquatic and environmental science in high school. Bridgitte is a former teacher and now a chemist at a manufacturing company in Irving.
Go!
Kim & Bridgitte solve HENNY PENNY.
Perfection! Kim & Bridgitte solve CARVING A PAIR OF JACK-O'-LANTERNS.
For halloween, we've hidden something scary under the Jackpot space in case someone dares to lift it off our Wheel.
Kim & Bridgitte solve FALSE TOOTH FAIRY for the team house minimum.
Do you dare pull out one of those Mystery Wedges on our Wheel? If could be a painful decision, but any of these teams would love a $10,000 cash prize.
Kim & Bridgitte solve BRIGHTLY COLORED BEACH UMBRELLAS. They could use those umbrellas on a trip to the Caribbean and stay at Divi Carina Bay Beach Resort in St. Croix worth $8,450!
Go!
Mason & Spencer solve LEAN ON ME.
When they don't feel so strong, the $5,000 space could help them feel better.
Perfection! Mason & Spencer solve SEEMS LIKE OLD TIMES to take the lead!
DING DING! DING DING!
But for a road show, we were sure that Pat would need to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $700 + $1,000 for $1,700 a piece. The red team will begin.
Glenda & Nancy: R (DUD!)
Kim & Bridgitte: L (x3) ($5,100)
Glenda & Nancy: G (DUD!)
Kim & Bridgitte: C (DUD!)
After guessing TEXTILE MALL, Mason & Spencer solve TEXTILE MILL.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
CDHA can only give them their vowel.

$2,000 | $1,000 |
Worth more than just a few pennies, we start by adding a stay at W San Diego for the San Diego Bay Wine & Food Festival (labeled SAN DIEGO) worth $8,000.
And no, the sky won't fall if you leave the $10,000 space on the Wheel in this round, but this is your only chance to pick it up.

We almost got to see the Wild Card in use in the Bonus Round, but we'll have to wait even longer for that.
BONUS ROUND:
Call it a prize mall or mill. Maybe a mile. No matter what you call it, the blue team has a shot at one of these:
Pair of Hummers
Pair of Pontiac Coupes
Pump out some more cash ($25,000-$50,000)
...or raid our vault! ($100,000!)
They have their parents in the audience! All four of them, addressed as just "their parents". "What about all the blood, sweat, and tears over the years?" 
Mason will now give the Bonus Wheel a good spin, and he also takes the H in CASH. Does that mean Spencer has to solve the puzzle himself?

They start to say something, only saying PRUSSIA after the buzzer. They do not solve URUGUAY. That was just mean, and the audience knows it.
They won't be taking the $30,000 with them. Mason & Spencer leave with $23,700 in cash and trip.
In the post-game chat, Pat thinks we need a mascot for the show when it goes on the road. Someone dressed like the Wheel who shoots T-shirts like at a ball game! Maybe Pat will put on a head.
