Theresa says SECOND HONEYMOON.
Prize on Wheel: Sears shopping spree, $5,000
Jackpot Round: Food & Drink[/u]
Theresa's first spin is $300[/color] for the T. She sticks with blue, $350 and calls R. After buying A, and calling E on Free Play[/color], she finally changes wedge colors and calls H on $800. Her next purchases are I and O, but the latter isn't in the puzzle.
Tim spins $800 also, and calls W. He then buys the last vowel, U. Next, he gets the five P's on $700[/color], and the Sears prize with M. (Even though the Prize is on $650, he only gets $500 apiece for the M's.)
P U M P _ I _
P I E / W I T H
W H I P P E _ / _ R E A M
With $5,850 and the prize, he solves PUMPKIN PIE WITH WHIPPED CREAM.

Mystery Round: Person[/u]
Tim's first spin is $700[/color], on which he calls N. Next stop is $3500 for the R's. He buys E and A, then hits the big money a second time for the G. After buying I, he hits top dollar a third time (barely) and calls S. After calling the last vowels (O and U), he spins again… just barely passing Bankrupt for the $300, on which he calls D.
A / D E _ E _ _ I _ E
S E A R _ _ I N G
_ O R / _ _ U E S
After that close call, he solves A DETECTIVE SEARCHING FOR CLUES for $17,250.
PERFECT ROUND[/color]

Theresa[/color]: $2,000
Tim[/color]: $29,100

Prize Puzzle: Phrase[/u]
Megan's first is $700[/color], but there's no R. Theresa goes for T on $350[/color], then hits Lose a Turn[/color]. It's another red wedge for Tim, namely $800[/color], on which he calls H. After buying E and A, he also ends up at Lose a Turn[/color] (though he didn't realize it at first and tried to call S).
Megan hits the same $800[/color], and she ends up with the S. After buying the O, she gets the Wild Card/$500 tandem with M. The next spin is also cardboard — specifically, the ½ Car/$500 pairing (next to $900[/color]), on which she calls D. She then buys the last vowel (I) and goes into purple territory twice: $500 for N, and $550 for a nonexistant P.
Theresa gets the Wheel, but immediately spins Bankrupt. Finally, Tim takes two spins at $700[/color] for B and L.
S O M E B O D _
I N _ L A T E / T H E
B E A _ H / B A L L
He solves SOMEBODY INFLATE THE BEACH BALL for $5,300 and a trip to St. Maarten! (Westin St. Maarten Dawn Beach, $8,265.)
Lose a Turn[/color]: Megan, Tim

Megan finally gets on the board with I WANT MY MTV. (Pat: "For you younger viewers, that's a network where they used to play music videos.")
Round 4: Rhyme Time[/u]
Megan's first stop is $300; however, there's no R. Theresa gets one last spin in on $900, calling S and buying E. Just then, the Final Spin bells sound, with the puzzle looking like this:
_ _ S _ E / _ _ _ E S
_ _ S _ E
Final Spin: $900[/color]
Theresa: N (dud)
Tim: T
_ _ S T E / _ _ _ E S
_ _ S T E

$100,000 Bonus Round[/u]
Tim's wife Cindy and daughter Katie are out there to root him on.
The Bonus Wheel stops at the A in GAME, and tonight's puzzle is an Event.
_ _ _ _ E _
T _ _ R
C, D, P, O are enough to give him a few key letters:
_ _ _ D E D
T O _ R
He can get TOUR, but nothing even close to GUIDED TOUR, so he loses the $40,000. Still, he's won $46,465[/color], as is the owner of this SPIN ID:

Too bad neither of the ladies could keep their turn, but another nice round for Tim!
We can't have that!
