I N S T R U M E N T / O R
A / W I N E G _ A S S
HIGH-PITCHED INSTRUMENT OR A WINEGLASS solved by Steve for $2,750 and the vase (picked up with a W). However, he didn't know FLUTE for the $2,000 bonus.
Gameplay Notes (long round):
*Ginger immediately hit the right-side BANKRUPT on the $10,000 wedge.
*Steve picked up the Free Spin with three T's. Later, he landed on the SURPRISE, but missed with an F and used his Free Spin to redeem himself, but hit LOSE A TURN on the next spin.
*Ginger cashed in $2,500 with a M, but later hit a BANKRUPT and lost $2,800.
*Steve hit LOSE A TURN again.
*Bryan hit a BANKRUPT and lost $2,400.
*Ginger hit the right-side BANKRUPT on the $10,000 wedge again and lost $350.
Scores so far:
Bryan: $0
Ginger: $1,650
Steve: $6,735
Jackpot Round ($3,500) - BEFORE AND AFTER

O U T / O F / T U R N
S I G N A L
Steve controls the entire round and solves SPEAKING OUT OF TURN SIGNAL for $18,450 (including $17,500 with a pair of T's and three N's) and the SURPRISE (picked up with a pair of S')! The SURPRISE he wins is a trip to Hawaii worth $5,630!
Scores so far:
Bryan: $0
Ginger: $1,650
Steve: $30,815
Round 4 ($5,000) - PLACE[/b] (also a speed-up round for $600 per consonant)
T _ _ _
R _ _ T _ _ R _ _ T
Ginger very quickly solves THAI RESTAURANT for $1,200!
FINAL SCORES
Bryan: goose-egged for parting gifts
Ginger: $2,850
Steve: $30,815 (winner in a blow-out!)
Bonus Round
The prizes that Steve could win besides $25,000 are:
*an Alpine Ski Adventure worth $20,000
*a trip to London, Paris & Rome worth over $17,000
*a Cadillac Catera worth over $33,000
*a home entertainment system worth over $16,000
Steve picks the second E from WHEEL.

Sarting with the RSTLNE...
_ L _ N _
Steve's choices of H, C, M, and A give him...
A L _ A N _
Unfortunately, Steve couldn't solve ALBANY (neither could I. If it was ALBANY NEW YORK, then I think he would have had a fair shot) and he misses out on an extra $25,000 payoff. But he has $30,815 in cash and prizes and there's a fairly good chance that he'll be back on Friday for the Friday Finals!
Am I getting better, guys?
