From the Nokia Center at Grand Prairie in Dallas, it's America's game! We've got just one more day of Best Friends Week.
Bigger in Texas means we need a big finish! And it all starts with an itty-bitty Toss-Up.
Go!
Jaclyn & Priscilla solve RIGHT-HAND MAN.
Pat's left hand to the interview cards:
Jaclyn & Priscilla: Best friends for 4 years. Jaclyn is 22 and just graduated from SMU, and she'll start grad school soon. Priscilla is living in Wylie, and she's a mother of one.
Julie & Nancy: Best friends for 8 years who met through their jobs. Julie is now a stay-at-home mom but met Nancy teaching in an elementary school. Nancy is an English as a second language teacher.
Fabian & Gene: Friends for 10 years who met through the college ministry at University of North Texas. Fabian currently does Hispanic marketing and advertising. Gene is a soon-to-be father.
And Vanna's right hand to the puzzleboard for our next Toss-Up!
Go!
Fabian & Gene solve BERT & ERNIE. Fabian had Sesame Street written all over him.
Jaclyn & Priscilla solve CONCRETE FOUNDATION MAKEUP.
We have temporarily cemented a Jackpot space into our Wheel. Don't even try to lift it up, or you'll break your back!
Julie & Nancy solve WE'RE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT for their Vegas trip, and the solve was also worth it for a Costa Cruises Caribbean cruise worth $8,896.
We can't be sure that everyone wants to take a chance with the Mystery Wedges, even though we know they all think a $10,000 cash prize is nice.
Jaclyn & Priscilla solve CHICKEN-FRIED STEAK WITH WHITE GRAVY.
Go!
Julie & Nancy solve LIGHTING FIXTURES.
The lights are on them as they start our next round.
DING DING! DING DING!
The lights suddenly move to Pat as he gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. The blue team begins.
Julie & Nancy: T ($1,300)
Fabian & Gene: S (DUD!)
Jaclyn & Priscilla: R (x4) ($5,200)
Julie & Nancy: N (DUD!)
Fabian & Gene: A
Jaclyn & Priscilla: L (DUD!)
Julie & Nancy: O (x2) ($1,300)
Fabian & Gene solve COMPUTER PROGRAMMER for the house minimum.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:
GBDO actually gives them more than just the vowel that Pat first thought.

We'll likely get some classic interaction between Pat and Charlie later on, but only after the latter offers us a vegas.com holiday at the Bellagio Hotel (labeled VEGAS) worth $8,000.
Be careful, as the $10,000 prize has trouble written all over its edges.

Julie has her brother and husband in the audience, while Nancy has her husband and a daughter with her!
Not a Texas sized Bonus Wheel, but the prizes are great! Nancy spins and takes the S in CASH. The bonus puzzles are hardly ever bigger, are they?

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna introduce a guest named Vanna Moore. When our guest was 6 years old, she wrote to the hostess about being named after her. Our hostess wrote back to her, and our guest also has a picture with her. This is the first time Vanna White actually met someone named after her!
