From the Nokia Center at Grand Prairie in Dallas, it's America's game! This is Best Friends Week!
We may think of older times when Toss-Ups were a new thing to the show.
Go!
Deb & Maureen solve TAG-TEAM WRESTLING.
Soon to wrestle over who speaks first:
Deb & Maureen: Friends for 4 years. Deb is a mother of one and a volunteer services manager at a hospital. Maureen is a mother of two.
Jorge & Ryan: Best friends for 1 years. Jorge is from Cedar Hill, currently between jobs but is a photographer as a hobby, hoping to make a career out of that. Ryan is from DeSoto, and he's a volleyball coach and yearbook advisor at a Christian school in Cedar Hill.
Soon to wrestle over those Toss-Up devices...though not for too long as we still want it solved.
Go!
Jorge & Ryan solve BRUSSELS BELGIUM.
Katie & Thelma solve WE FINISH EACH OTHER'S SENTENCES for the cash and Gift Tag, plus a little more cash for the house minimum.
It would've been funny if Charlie finished Pat's sentence to lead into our Jackpot copy.
Deb & Maureen solve PICKING OUT AN ALOHA SHIRT, and the prize we've picked out today is a lastminutetravel.com holiday in Hawaii worth $7,000.
They'll just let the cardboard pile up if they find the right Mystery Wedge with the $10,000 cash prize.
Jorge & Ryan solve MAGAZINE & MANHOLE COVER.
Go!
Katie & Thelma solve WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER.
We'll get a good snapshot of the puzzle board while we can...
DING DING! DING DING!
...because that was our last chance to do so. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! Bigger in Texas, you know!
Katie & Thelma: T (x3!) ($18,000)
Deb & Maureen: N (DUD!)
Jorge & Ryan: S ($6,000)
Katie & Thelma: C (x3!) ($36,000)
Deb & Maureen: B ($6,000)
Jorge & Ryan: H ($12,000)
Katie & Thelma: R (x2) ($48,000)
Katie guesses BUTTERSCOTCH & CORDIAL.
Deb & Maureen: L ($12,000)
Jorge & Ryan: E (x2) ($12,000)
Jorge & Ryan solve BUTTERSCOTCH & CARAMEL just before the buzzer for a ticket to Bonus Land!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
DMBA fills in the bottom plus an extra letter on top.

Almost hitting the one-third $10,000 space is never good enough. You need to be at the exact peg.

Pat did not immediately ask the yellow team to hand over the Wild Card. It's taken away sometime after, as it's not on the rail during Round 4.
You can try to make the cover of a few magazines by solving this Toss-Up with just one letter!

In the post-game chat, Pat explains how he knows whose turn it is to start every round. He holds up the foldable card with 1, 2, and 3 on it. Vanna is amazed.
