And HOCUS-POCUS, Megan's 2 for 2 on Toss-Ups.
$10,000 Round: The 70s[/u]
Megan's first spin is Bankrupt. Erin says T and H, but loses her turn to R. Tom goes for four S's and calls a lot more letters until O stops him. Megan gets the C for $600, only to hit Bankrupt again. Erin calls another dud, L, and Tom stops on $2,500, getting the pair of S's!

He solves KC AND THE SUNSHINE BAND for $8,450.
Bankrupt: Megan twice (loss of turn, $600)
Dud: R (Erin), O (Tom), L (Erin)
Wheel Prize: Jackson Hole, Wyoming (Teton Mountain Lodge) $4,500
Jackpot Round: Slogan[/u]
Erin starts us off with Bankrupt. Tom goes for T and E, but Bankrupts his remaining $2,450 away. H is Megan's first guess, followed by the R's on $3,500. She then buys O and A, but also the dud I. Erin hits Bankrupt again, so Tom gets to pick up the Free Spin with S. He calls the nonexistant N, and decides to use his Free Spin; however, he hits yet another Bankrupt!
Megan gets Y, U, and B lit up, then hits yet another Bankrupt which takes away $7,600. Erin calls another dud (M), followed by C from Tom. Finally, Megan calls F, L, and V (the latter on $3,500) to fill in the puzzle entirely.
T H E / F L A V O R
S A Y S / B U T T E R
For $4,700, she reads THE FLAVOR SAYS BUTTER. however, she can't identify the slogan of Parkay (her guess was Blue Bonnet).

Mystery Round: Before & After[/u]
Tom says T, O and N, but buys the dud E. Megan does a lot of work, hitting the Mystery Wedge next to $300 and $800. She flips it over and finds a Bankrupt.
