The Hammer is here to finish off Wheel Across America week. Let's go out with a win, because we don't want another 0/5 week.
$1,000 Toss-Up: Place[/u]
T H _ / _ E A _ T_ _ N D
_ F / A M _ _ _ C _
Ken may not be from THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA, but he knows the answer.
Ken Rogers[/color], NYPD police officer from Massapequa, NY
Cynthia Herbert[/color], secretary from Inglewood, CA
Brittany Young[/color], helicopter pilot for US Navy from San Diego, CA
$2,000 Toss-Up: Occupation[/u]
_ T A T _
_ _ O _ P _ R
Brittany says STATE TROOPER.
Prize on Wheel: Westin Diplomat Resort & Spa (Hollywood, FL), $5,360
Jackpot Round: Landmark[/u]
Brittany gets the Red Roof Inn tag with the obvious S. Next is Free Play, on which she calls A. R is up there, but N isn't. Off to Ken, who lands on the Jackpot and calls L — only to Bankrupt his $1,000 right back on the edge of the MDW. Cynthia calls a dud M, and Brittany regains control. She also hits the Jackpot wedge, calling D. It's still too early to solve, so she buys two more vowels and then calls F.
_ _ I _ A _ _ ' S
_ R I _ L E _
F I E L D
Afterward, Brittany solves CHICAGO'S WRIGLEY FIELD for $1,600 and the tag.
Duds: N (Brittany), M (Cynthia)
Bankrupt: Ken ($1,000)
Left behind in Jackpot: $8,450
Ken: $1,000
Cynthia:
Brittany: $5,600

Mystery Round: Before & After[/u]
Ken leads us off with T. Next, he calls H on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW, finding the $10,000 on the back! (Later, he hits the other Mystery Wedge for $1,000 in the form of W.) After that, he lands on the Kia tag on the green $500, but a dud D stops him from getting it.

Prize Puzzle: Song Lyrics[/u]
Cyntha lights up three letters, but the Bankrupt edge of the MDW undoes all her work.

Brittany's taking no chances, as she solves I'M SO EXCITED AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT to get the trip to Jamaica (Franklin D. Resort & Spa) worth $7,900!
Bankrupt: Cynthia ($1,650)
SPIN ID: DM5667951 (Donald M.)

Ken takes a look in the REARVIEW MIRROR.
Round 4: Proper Name[/u]
Ken puts up T's, but oddly, there's no E. Cynthia can't find an L, either, nor can Brittany get an R. Ken regains control…
S _ I T _ S _ N I _ N
I N S T I T _ T I _ N
…and solves SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION for $5,100.
Dud: E (Ken), L (Cynthia), R (Brittany)
Round 5: Around the House[/u]
No R for Cynthia. Brittany does some work, but L stops her. Ken hits Bankrupt just as the bells sound.
The puzzle looks like this when the bells sound.

For $1,500 a pop, the round keeps going…
B _ _ _ S / _ N / T H E
N I G H T S T _ N D
…until Brittany answers BOOKS ON THE NIGHTSTAND for $5,950 and the win.
Duds: R (Cynthia), L (Brittany) (both before Speed-Up)
Bankrupt: Ken (loss of turn)
End totals:
R: $9,100
Y: $2,700
B: $17,450

$100,000 Bonus Round[/u]
Can Brittany finally claim a Winnebago tonight? Or anything to
She hits the single star. Her puzzle is a Phrase:
_ _ / _ _ R
_ R _ _ E
P, F, G and I give her…
G _ / F _ R
_ R _ _ E
…a few key letters. She can get GO FOR, but she can't figure out that the last word is BROKE. So we're 0 for 5 this week, our fourth shutout of the season. Her envelope had the $30,000.
Right after Pat congratulates her, the lights on the set go out.
