Well, I can't provide video footage of this episode, but I can do a recap.
$1,000 Toss-Up: Event[/u]
H _ _ _ I _ G / A
T U N _
Alicia's HUMMING A TUNE.
Alicia Ramirez, graphic designer from Miami, FL
Scott Foster, clean room technician & conga player from Hillsboro, OR
Jamie Bielich, first-grade teacher from Las Vegas, NV
$2,000 Toss-Up: Classic TV[/u]
B E _ _ _ R
_ L _ _ _ E R
Jamie says BEAVER CLEAVER.
Round 1: Same Name[/u]
Jamie starts off on $900, but there's no T. Alicia hits $2500, finding four R's. She buys just as many E's, but can't find an N.
Scott gets a single L at $600, then two S's for the same. However, he buys the dud A. Back to Jamie, who also strikes out with P. Alicia gets the C for $450, and buys the last two vowels (O and U). Next, she gets the $10,000 prize with H! Her next spin just barely avoids Bankrupt for the purple $600, on which she calls F.
_ O L F / &
R E F R E S H E R
C O U R S E
She solves GOLF & REFRESHER COURSE for all her money ($20,900)!
Duds: T (Jamie), N (Alicia), A (Scott), P (Jamie)
Round 2 Prize: 35th Annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival + Sheraton New Orleans, $5,500
Jackpot Round: Phrase[/u]
(Note: The Jackpot readout is on the bottom left instead of top left for some reason.)
Alicia gets four T's, then the A, E and S…
T _ A T ' S / T _ E
_ A _ / T _ E / _ _ _ _ _ E
_ _ _ _ _ _ E S
…then quickly solves THAT'S THE WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES for another $3,100.
Scott:
Jamie: $2,000
Alicia: $25,000

Now, here's the round with a somewhat well known incident…
Mystery Round prize: Toyota Echo, $13,245
Mystery Round: Family[/u]
Scott's first letter is T, which isn't up there. Jamie hits the Mystery wedge next to the red $900, calling R. She flips it over and finds the Toyota! Her next spin is Lose a Turn.
Alicia hits the other Mystery wedge, calling N's at $500 apiece then buying the A. Next, she goes for the two D's and the four O's. However, Bankrupt takes away her remaining $1,700.
Scott gets three F's at $800 each, only to barely pass LaT and get the C's. However, he hits LaT on the next spin.
Jamie again, who says S, I, P (on the other Mystery wedge), and finally L for $300. The whole puzzle is filled in…
F R A N C I S / F O R D
A N D / S O F I A
C O P P O L A
…but she mispronounces COPPOLA as "cu-POH-la"[/color]! Alicia then says FRANCIS FORD AND SOFIA COPPOLA as "COH-pa-la" for the house minimum.
Dud: T (Scott)
Lose a Turn: Jamie, Scott
Bankrupt: Alicia ($1,700)
DQ: Jamie's mispronunciation
Scott:
Jamie: $2,000
Alicia: $25,500

_ T A _ I _
_ L E C _ R I _ I T Y
Jamie solves STATIC ELECTRICITY.
Round 4: On the Menu[/u]
Jamie begins with two R's at $800 each, then a single S, but there's no T. The puzzle looks like the below when time is called.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ S _ _ _ R _ _ R
Pat's Final Spin is $6,000!
_ _ _ _ L _
C H _ _ S _ _ _ R _ _ R
Alicia takes a bite out of a DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER and pads her win.
Duds: T (Jamie), N (Alicia, after Speed-Up)
End totals:
Scott: $0->$500
Jamie: $5,000
Alicia: $31,500
====
$100,000 Bonus Round[/u]
Alicia's Bonus Wheel spin lands on the C in CASH. The puzzle is a Proper Name:
_ _ L _ _ E
_ _ _ N
She calls C, D and blurts out I. Pat asks her if she wants that as her vowel, and she confirms. In the confusion, she accidentally calls C again, then changes to B. Overall, it gives her a little bit of help:
_ _ L D I E
_ _ _ N
Right away, she gets GOLDIE HAWN and wins another $30,000. That's $61,500 for this night!
(During the credits, "Happy Wheels" continues to play over the first promotional plug.)
