Big old jet airliner, don't carry me too far away, because these three players could win a trip on WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
$1,000 TOSS-UP:

TITLE
Our yellow player, Andrew, gets in first:
_ _ M E / F _ Y
_ I T _ / _ _
TITLE
and he'll take the first $1,000 of the night with COME FLY WITH ME!
Let's meet our players:
Andrew Norman, student at UC-San Diego from Newport Beach (and the provider of this episode - thanks!)
Vitalia Bryn-Pundik, a professional speaker from Lakeville, Minnesota
Priscilla Burkes, an administrative secretary and mother of three from Cleveland
$2,000 TOSS-UP:

ON THE MAP
It's Andrew with the fast thumb again:
E A _ _ _ R
I _ _ _ _ _
ON THE MAP
He's two for two with EASTER ISLAND, so he has $3,000 and control of Round 1!
ROUND 1 - $10,000 ROUND:
$2,500 is the top dollar to kick things off, and the $10,000 "Oreo" wedge is on the wheel as well.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
OCCUPATION
Andrew is eager to start - he wants to spin before we even see the puzzle! He'll have a chance to settle down, though, because his second spin is BANKRUPT. Over to Vitalia, who will put up some R's, an S, and buy the E's before calling for the bad L. Priscilla will take the wheel for a spin now, but there's no M, so Andrew has his turn back. He'll fill in almost all of the remaining letters...
_ O R E _ G N
C O R R E S P O N D E N T
OCCUPATION
and solve FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT for $2,650 more!
Duds: L (Vitalia), M (Priscilla)
Bankrupt: Andrew ($400)
Priscilla: one spin, one dud
Andrew: $5,650
Vitalia: will try and get on the board this next round
ROUND 2 - JACKPOT ROUND:
We lay down the Libman Wonder Jackpot and also this prize:
it's a trip to Rome valued at a sizable $9,620!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
BEFORE & AFTER
Vitalia will try to shoot for the prize or some big money out of the gate here - well, she hits a small prize, the BUSHNELL gift tag. Her next spin lands on more cardboard - a trio of S's give her the FREE SPIN! She spins a couple more times before running into the old LOSE A TURN, but she'll hang onto that Free Spin and we go to Priscilla. Her first spin isn't the big trip, but it's the DELTA gift tag, which she nabs with an L. A few more spins from her lead to a dud H and Andrew takes his first go in this round. We're going to be cardboard-free the rest of the way - his second spin and a pair of P's picks up the ROME trip! One more spin, and then everything else is a vowel:
P _ C _ S S O
P _ _ N T _ N G
Y O _ R / T O E N _ _ L S
BEFORE & AFTER
We may not like the sound of PICASSO PAINTING YOUR TOENAILS, but Andrew is loving it - another $1,300 and the big trip will give him a commanding lead!
Sole Dud: H (Priscilla)
Lose a Turn: Vitalia (Free Spin not used)
Unclaimed Jackpot: $8,050
Priscilla: two turns, two duds
Andrew: $16,570 cash and trip
Vitalia: Free Spin only
ROUND 3 - MYSTERY ROUND:
Our mystery prize tonight is the Chevy Aveo - $13,710!

WHERE ARE WE?
Priscilla would sure like to avoid the bad letters and get some money - and she's not doing too badly in the early goings either... a few spins in, she'll find a trio of L's on $900! Unfortunately, she finds ANOTHER bad letter in the D. Andrew's got all the money... can he get even more? Not this time - it's BANKRUPT. Vitalia puts up a couple of nice mutiples, but the Bankrupt hits her too and cleans out $2,250 to boot! She uses the Free Spin to try again, and a few spins later, the wheel screeches to a halt, just barely hanging onto $3,500! She'll find a single F at that amount, buy an O, and then hit the Mystery wedge! There's one V, and she will risk $4,750 in cash to find....... BANKRUPT. Priscilla will get it back once more with a mostly filled puzzle and $3,400 in her bank, but she only gets one good spin - the second is LOSE A TURN and we're back to Andrew once more. His second spin flirts with Bankrupt, but there's no Y anyway so we're on to Vitalia's third chance. She takes two spins to put up the last consonants:
B L A C K / F O R E S T
V O L K S W A G E N S
M _ N I C H / &
B E R L I N
WHERE ARE WE?
and she solves BLACK FOREST, VOLKSWAGENS, MUNICH & BERLIN to get on the board with $1,700 - plus a bonus $3,000 for identifying GERMANY!

Bankrupt: Andrew (loss of turn), Vitalia x2 ($2,250 - Free Spin used, $4,750 - Mystery)
Lose a Turn: Priscilla

Now departing from Andrew's mouth - his picks of WMDO... but their flight has been canceled - none of them are up there. In his 10 seconds, Andrew will guess... absolutely nothing, which is definitely not the correct answer of BEIJING. $30,000 will not be added to his total, but Andrew Norman has still won $19,770 in combined cash and trip to Rome!
