Challona Coleman, a junior at Regis University and a business administration major

PROPER NAME
Lizzie earned the right to be our first spinner and her first spin is a $400 S. Her second spin is not as good though... she has to give the $400 back due to BANKRUPT. Challona picks up $2,400 right away with four $600 R's but then whiffs with the T. Carl finds a pair of N's on his first rotation of the wheel, and that gives him the FREE SPIN disc! His next spin is also for a pair (D's) and also for cardboard (the Image-Entertainment.com gift tag, a $1,000 gift certificate). With just the gift tag in hand, he decides that his third spin is not the time to use his Free Spin against the LOSE A TURN, so it's back to Lizzie. She gets a $600 G and buys the trio of E's before the light goes on...
S _ N G E R
_ _ R R _ E
_ N D E R _ _ _ D
PROPER NAME
and it's the light on the amp of SINGER CARRIE UNDERWOOD! Lizzie has just $350 left, so we bump that up to the house minimum of $1,000.
Sole Dud: T (Challona)
Bankrupt: Lizzie ($400)
Lose a Turn: Carl (Free Spin not used)
Challona: she'll start the second round
Carl: $1,000 + Free Spin
Lizzie: $3,000
ROUND 2 - JACKPOT ROUND & PRIZE PUZZLE:
The Eggland's Best Jackpot wedge is this round's specialty, and it's a Prize Puzzle!

AUTHOR/TITLE (PP)
Challona is the last player left without money, and it's going to stay that way for at least one more turn - she hits BANKRUPT right out of the gate. Carl gets hit too, but the Free Spin saves him this time... well, never mind, he hit it again right away. Lizzie is able to avoid Bankrupt and pick up three $500 S's. After revealing two T's, Lizzie decides to go with the logical H (three of them) and E (a whopping 7!) before carrying on with other letters. Not too long after that, she's ready to close out the round:
_ _ L L _ _ M
S H _ _ E S _ E _ R E ' S
T H E / M E R _ H _ _ T
_ _ / _ E _ _ _ E
AUTHOR/TITLE (PP)
and she's right on the money with WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE'S THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, which earns her $6,150 in cash plus the puzzle prize - LastMinuteTravel.com is sending her to Venice on a trip worth $4,000 more!
Bankrupt: Challona (loss of turn), Carl x2 (loss of turn - Free Spin used, loss of turn)
Unclaimed Jackpot: $7,800
Challona: unlucky so far
Carl: $1,000
Lizzie: $13,150 cash and trip
ROUND 3 - MYSTERY ROUND:
Behind one of those question-marked wedges we might find $10,000 in cash!

FICTIONAL CHARACTERS
Carl has the right to spin first, and he hopes that his Bankrupt troubles are behind him. He starts us off with a T for the CINGULAR gift tag (Sony Ericsson Walkman phone package, including the Wheel mobile game). His next spin is less fortunate... it's LOSE A TURN coming around to get him down. Leader Lizzie again starts with S (two) before following Carl's T pick with H (a pair) and a lot of E's (six!). She gives up her turn though on the bad L, bringing Challona another chance. She's lighting up the red podium a few hundred dollars at a time, and as the puzzle's mostly filled, she goes for a solve with $3,800 (but not with a lot of confidence)...
C O M I C / _ O O _
_ N D / M O V I E
S U P E R H E R O E S
T H E / _ - M E N
FICTIONAL CHARACTERS
and the lack of confidence has a basis in reality... she blows the solve with COMIC GOOD AND MOVIE SUPERHEROES THE X-MEN. That's wrong, so we go to Carl - he puts up the last three consonants, leaving just one vowel still covered...
C O M I C / B O O K
_ N D / M O V I E
S U P E R H E R O E S
T H E / X - M E N
FICTIONAL CHARACTERS
and he's able to complete COMIC BOOK AND MOVIE SUPERHEROES THE X-MEN for $1,600 plus the gift tag!
Sole Dud: L (Lizzie)
Lose a Turn: Carl
DQ: Challona's "COMIC GOOD" mis-solve
Challona: lost out on almost $4,000
Carl: $3,600 cash and gift
Lizzie: $13,150 cash and trip

Challona: gooseegg alert
Carl: $6,600 cash and gift
Lizzie: $13,150 cash and trip
ROUND 4 (Full Speedup):
$5,000 is always the top dollar here, except Pat is the only one with a chance to hit it!
_ _ _ _ - _ _ - _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
AROUND THE HOUSE
The final spin barely clears Bankrupt on the back side, but it makes it to $600, meaning consonants are worth $1,600 each! Carl starts the round... and ends it too - on his third chance:
_ _ L L - T _ - _ _ L L
C _ R _ _ T _ N _
AROUND THE HOUSE
he knocks down WALL-TO-WALL CARPETING, and the four L's helped him build his score up to $11,200 for the round!
Duds: S, M (both Challona)
Challona: GOOSEEGG'D for $1,000
Carl: $17,800 cash and gift
Lizzie: $13,150 cash and trip
Carl mounts the big comeback at the end and he'll be rewarded with a chance at $100,000!
BONUS ROUND:
Carl's bonus spin hits the first zero in $100,000 (the one immediately following the 1).

Carl mutters indistinctly for the ten seconds (there may have been a guess involving HARD, but it was difficult to make out). Regardless, he didn't get the correct answer of HAZY SKIES and therefore will not receive $30,000 in additional cash. However, with the cash and gift package from the front game, he ends our week with a total of $17,800!
It's the end of the week and the end of the road trip... just one more episode in Denver to close out College Week on WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
