CJ just loves this game and I believe she will be happy that another toss-up is coming!



This time the category is Food & Drink.

Prize on the Wheel: Tonight's featured prize is a getaway to the Rocky Mountains valued at $8,700!



That light blue $2,500 wedge is the top dollar amount for this first round, there's also a $10,000 slice on as well and the third puzzle of the night is wordy, Before & After.



Steve & Jamie will begin the first round thanks to the toss-up and they land on the blue $600 where Jamie will receive two Rs. Pat believes Steve will solve, but they'll spin again and get the blue $600 again for a trio of Ns! They'll spend a bit of money on four Es next. Steve spins again and it's the green $500, Jamie calls the D and then uses that $500 to buy the O and As. The next spin ends up on trouble, Bankrupt. Karen gves the wheel a short spin and their pointer travels into Bankrupt. Sheila & CJ try to get some money and they get $450 from an L. They'll spin again and they end up on the $10,000 wedge... and they'll pick it up with a pair of Ts! Next, they make a purchase of I. The pair spin a couple times more for more cardboard, the Free Spin & prize with two Cs & an S! One more spin and one more consonant, an H and then they finish off the vowels...



CJ solves SUPERMARKET CHECKOUT LINE DANCING for $550, the $10,000 wedge, the Free Spin & the prize wedge!

Steve & Jamie: $3,000
Karen & Lucy:
Sheila & CJ: $19,250 (Free Spin)

$3,500 is the largest amount for Round 2, the Jackpot wedge is also on the wheel, that increases with every spin of this wheel! The category this time around is the rare Landmark.



The Yellow team will get Round 2 going by choosing three Ts for $1,500. They go again and uncover three Hs, as well as five Es, completing THE! They'll spin again and pick up the Wild Card with two Ss, they're spinning again. They land on the Jackpot and reveal three Ws...



It ain't enough for them to solve, they keep on spinning. After finding a pair of Ns, they purchase two pairs of Os and Is. Karen will spin one last time because Lose a Turn stops them. Sheila & CJ try this round, but Bankrupt attacks them. CJ has a Free Spin, however, and Pat will take it. They spin for the last multiple of three Rs and then make a not-so-helpful purchase of U. They'll spin twice more for the D and an L that's... not a very good pick. Steve & Jamie decide to make te most of it by spinnig once for the C and then one more time which pays off with a $3,500 F!

There are a couple of mystery wedges on the wheel now, one is hiding $10,000 and the other one's a Bankrupt. Now, the Mystery Round category is Thing and it is also a Trip Puzzle!



Sheila & CJ have to start this round, but theydo it with a dud R on the pink $900. Steve gives the wheel a strong spin and it hits the mystery wedge covering the blue $500. Steve selects an N and that complicates things since there are a whole four Ns... and they'll go to waste, Steve & Jamie are going for it...



The risk pays off, they have $10,000! They put it in front of them for a whole five seconds since they have to hand it right back due to Bankrupt. Karen & Lucy also hit Bankrupt, but the other one. Sheila & CJ have their turn back and they'll light up a triple T. They hand over $250 to the vowel department in exchange for a bad I. Steve & Jamie land on the other mystery wedge which is now a regular $1,000 wedge and they will receive an F. Next comes a better puchase of two pairs of Es, followed by the last consonant multiple of S...



Steve & Jamie will have more than A SENSE OF CONTENTMENT knowing that they've won $2,550 more plus a trip to Mexico valued at $7,400!

High Maingame Winnings: $48,800



Steve & Jamie have won over $27,000 so far and they can win a possible $100,000! Jamie's spinning the Bonus Wheel...



It's the N in WIN. Pat's going to take the envelope and a puzzle will appear, it's a Phrase.



Looking for a ton of RSTLNE, let's see what we can get.



A whole two letters. Steve will select three and Jamie will select a single consonant and they create this DHPI combo.



You've seen Steve work his magic on those toss-ups, let's see if he can get this one...



Not even close, he can't even get the last word where he tries CHORE.



That cost them $35,000. That's just a little bit more than what they already have, $27,550 in cash and prizes!
