_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ?
QUOTATION
Erica and Larry will start the spinning by picking up the STAPLES gift tag with 3 R's. Then they'll give it right back due to a BANKRUPT, and Michelle and Rex will take over. They hit the FREE SPIN right away with a pair of L's - that could come in handy later! They make an almost-perfect rotation, coming back to the green $300 for two Y's - and they're going to solve!
_ R _ / Y _ _
R _ _ _ Y
_ _ R / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ L L?

Michelle/Rex: $600 + Free Spin
ROUND 2 - JACKPOT ROUND:

_ _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
SONG & ARTIST
Michelle and Rex won the last round, and they'll kick off this one with a BANKRUPT. They elect to hold the Free Spin, so Ronald and John get their first crack at things. Their second spin puts up four N's in exchange for the MOTOROLA gift tag (a pair of phones worth $1,200). They keep on trucking, buying vowels and finding a quadruplet of R's on $600. Ronald wants to solve:
_ O R N / T O / R _ N
_ _ / _ R _ _ E
S _ R I N _ S T E E N
SONG & ARTIST
He's got it with BORN TO RUN BY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN! That's good for $3,450 and the gift tag.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
BEFORE & AFTER
Ronald and John will be spinning, trying to extend their $1,650 lead. They'll begin with two T's and then they have a decision to make on the Mystery! There are three N's, and Ronald decides to take the $3,000 and keep on going. He'll buy lots of vowels - five I's, four E's, three O's - before his next spin hits the Mystery again. There's a single H, and this time he again takes the money. They put up a lot more letters, including the last of the vowels, before a catastrophic bad G leaves $9,400 on the table. Larry spins for Erica and lands right on that PEPSI party prize, which they pick up (appropriately) with a P. Erica will proceed to solve:
M A L C O L M / I N
T H E / M I D D L E
L I N E _ A C _ E _

ROUND 4 (Partial Speedup):
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _
STAR & ROLE
Michelle and Rex will have some time to spin and close up the gap. They'll find some S's and T's and buy the A's, giving them $1,250, but now... DING DING, DING DING... final spin time, and here's the board:
T _ _ / _ _ _ _ S _ / A S
_ _ _ _ _ / _ A _ _ _ _ _
STAR & ROLE
Pat tries his hardest - a little too hard, as the wheel just slides off the $5,000. But $1,600 a letter is the going rate, and it's still the blue team's turn. Rex leans over and whispers to Michelle, she calls for quadruple R's and they will solve it:
T _ _ / _ R _ _ S _ / A S
_ _ R R _ / _ A _ _ _ R _
STAR & ROLE
TOM CRUISE AS JERRY MAGUIRE gets that team a total of $7,650 for the round!
PERFECT ROUND!
Ronald/John: $4,650 cash and Motorola gift tag
Erica/Larry: $7,500 cash and party package
Michelle/Rex: $11,250 cash (Free Spin goes unused)
That alone is enough to put them over the top - they'll go for the big prize in Bonusland! John and Larry can't be too down though - $10,000 will go to each of their charities courtesy of the fine folks at Wheel of Fortune.
BONUS ROUND:
Rex will hit the N in BONUS.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
THING
We put up every one of RSTLNE:
_ _ _ T _ _ _ _ R _
THING
Michelle and Rex would like DWCA:
_ _ _ T _ _ _ A R D
THING
Michelle only gets out one guess - BOOTHBOARD - and that's not it. It's MOUTHGUARD which stops them short of winning $25,000 in cash. However, they racked up $11,250 - all in cash - and Michelle will take that home while that same amount goes to Bears Care on behalf of Rex Grossman!
