They're all ready to play, so let's get to it!

Free Spin Location: $500

Thats the one next to $700, not the top dollar.



Speaking of top dollars, $1,000 is this round's top dollar and even at Disney, we're playing for cash. This first puzzle is a Title.



Nancy won the draw backstage and she'll be starting first. She takes her first spin and it's the orange $200 where she calls an interesting choice of M... and there are two! She spins again and calls the pair of Cs, followed by another spin for an S. Then she keeps on spinning for a K, followed by a B for $750...



Nancy solves MICKEY MOUSE CLUB for $2,700! Pat comes over to her and Nancy says that she knew the puzzle with no letters revealed!

Nancy: $2,700

Prize #1 on the Wheel: The first prize of the night is a Headstart computer valed at $3,790! That's marked COMPUTER on the wheel, it's on the second $150.



The top dollar amount has been upgraded up to a sparkling $2,500 wedge and the next puzzle is a Phrase.



Lee will start this time and he begins by escaping Lose a Turn and calling a pair of Ns. He spins again and lands on $150, but there are no Ts. Randy's first spin of the night is the pink $250 and he will have no Ss. Nancy calls another dud, a G on $150. Lee tries again and he calls the R for $250. He spins again and hits the orange $400, but there are zero Cs. Randy calls the L and then spins again for the D. He makes the first purchase of the show and it's a good one, the triple A. He spins again, but he'll lose his turn via Lose a Turn. Nancy puts the Ps up, but then she also hits a penalty wedge, Bankrupt. Lee avoids Bankrupt and calls the Y...



Lee gets PLAYED A PRANK ON for $1,900. Sentence fragment get?

Nancy: $2,700
Lee: $1,900

Missolves: 0
Top Dollar Hits: 0



Now the top dollar has been changed and so is the template, now the big money's $3,500! Before & After is the category and it's bringing in wordplay!



Randy will begin the round and he puts up a single T & two Rs on each $900. Then he barely lands on $550, but his N is a dud. Nancy repeats Randy's spin and she calls the S. Then she spins again, but repeats her last spin of Round 2. That gives Lee a chance to get some more, but he LATs his turn over to Randy, who loses his turn quickly with a dud L on the red $800! Nancy gets the P in there, followed by a $200 C. Next, she calls the D and then a couple of Os. She spins again and lands on the pink $500 to dud with an M. Lee also duds on the pink $500, with a G. Randy lands on the red $800 twice for a trio of Fs, followed by an H. Then he buys the last vowel of five Es...

Prize on Wheel #2: It's a trip to Italy valued at $5,658! They've dropped it off and it's called ITALY!



There's a wedge now on the wheel worth approximately $658 less than the prize, it's $5,000! The puzzle this time is Thing and it's unexpectedly big.



Everyone started at least one round, so it's back to Nancy for this round. She begins with a pair of Ts & Ns on the orange $900 and red $800. She then calls the S & R for a bit more and she goes again to pick up the Italy trip and receive three Gs for the $300 under it! However, that completed all of the time...



It looks like Pat's going to spin.



Nancy: $5,050 (Prize)
Lee:
Randy:

Final Spin Result:
$300

That's quite an interesting Final Spin... Italy saves Nancy, from the looks of it. Vowels worth nothing and consonants are $300.



If Nancy solves, she'll become the big winner. Anyone else and it looks like Randy's game.





Lee goes ahead and solves, but he is ONE letter off with A FIGURE EIGHT ON ICE SKATING. He has no other guess, but tht is a painful missolve!





Randy gets his one, A FIGURE EIGHT IN ICE SKATING gives him $300 plus the win!

Lee: $1,900
Randy: $5,950

Low Maingame Winnings: $10,550



Randy has won even more, $5,950 in cash and now he'll be playing the Bonus Round for one of these four fabulous prizes!



Four cards remaining, all he has to do is choose one.



Randy decides on the second E. Tonight's BR puzzle... is a Title!



As always, RSTLNE will be given before Randy has to work.



A good amount to start with, but now Randy has to pick three more consonants and a vowel, HCPA...



...do not help him out at all, in any way! It doesn't look good, but you never know...



Not a clue. He probably hasn't watched GUNSMOKE and that means he did not win...

Well, it's only a Bracelet. Randys two-day total stands at $43,350 and he'll try again on the next episode to win even more!
