Free Spin Location: $400

Back there again, I see.



Everyone's playing for cash in this first round and if you hit the top dollar of $1,000, you can win a lot of it. Let's take a look at the first puzzle, which is... yet another Phrase.



Bonnie won the draw backstage, so she'll be spinning first. Her first spin of the night is $450 and she collects triple that with R. Then she hits the pink $250, but duds with T. Harvey begins his spinning and lands on $350 twice for an N & D. He spins again and picks up the Free Spin, but calls a bad S for $400 under it. Scott takes his first spin and also hits the red $400 and duds with C. Bonnie duds as well with an F, so we go to Harvey. He uncovers the Ps...

It's sparkly, it's big, it's $3,500 and that is this round's top dollar! Before & After is the category for this round.



Scott will be starting this round and he puts up a T and two Ss for a quick $1,050. After buying two Es and calling the R, he's back to that same score which will be sitting since A is a dud. Bonnie hasn't spun for a while now, so she takes a spin and calls a $200 L. Then she avoids Bankrupt, but loses her turn with a dud P on the red $500. Harvey picks the Ns for $400, followed by a pair of Cs. He prchases the triple O and just avoids Bankrupt for a trio of Hs...

$5,000 has arrived for this round as we head into Round #5. This time, we have a hyphenated Thing.



Harvey will begin this round and he makes a big first spin - $5,000 for one T! Then he hits $500 for a pair of Ns and makes an I purchase. He spins again, but Lose a Turn makes him give up the Free Spin. He goes again for the G and then that S. Another spin is made and once again, he lands on $5,000! He wants an R and he'll get an R. Then he buys a vowel and the O appears three times. He spins again and hits the blue $500... and calls a dud of L. $11,250 will have to sit as we go to Scott, but he immediately repeats the G on $350. Bonnie also duds with an M on the red $250, so we're going back to Harvey! He spins again, but duds again with an F. Scott puts up the D & W...

Harvey's racked up quite a lot of stuff so far, $58,350 in cash and prizes up to now! Four good prizes left in the Bonus Round, take a look at what they are.



The H for Harvey is gone, but four cards are still there.



He grabs the E card on the left and now he'll be presented with an Event.



Let's see what the most common letters of WoF will bring.



A whole two letters! Harvey will probably need more than that, so he'll choose the same three consonants as last time (CDM), but this time he picks a different vowel, O.



Just a little bit more. Almost half revealed, six blanks left, let's see whether or not Harvey can solve it...



He figures it out rather quickly - Harvey solves BOXING MATCH!
