FICTIONAL CHARACTER

DING DING! DING DING!

Though that clock is still ticking, so Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. This one stops at $700 + $1,000 for $1,700 a piece. Barbara & Jenifer will begin:

Barbara & Jenifer: C (DUD!)
Jeremy & Kevin: D (DUD!)
Bobbie & Bob: R (DUD!)
Barbara & Jenifer: S (DUD!)
Jeremy & Kevin: T (DUD!)
Bobbie & Bob: L ($1,700)

FICTIONAL CHARACTER

Barbara & Jenifer win by solving PAUL BUNYAN.

Jeremy & Kevin	Bobbie & Bob	Barbara & Jenifer
$1,000	$9,600	$13,400

BONUS ROUND:

While not a sweep, Barbara & Jenifer could still win big. They have family in the audience too!

Jenifer spins that Wheel to meet up with the 1,000's digit. This will be the deciding puzzle:

Oddly, the right-letter ding does not sound on the R.

Barbara & Jenifer now meet up with MCDO...

...and are beached.

They have no idea, and do not solve PARAGUAY...

...so they lose $25,000. They will leave with a total of $13,400.

Otherwise, a solid follow-up to the $100,000 sweep. I like the theme of this week. I wish they had more of them!

They've used some quite short R4 puzzles before (ex. NAME-DROPPER, Thing, on 3/15/10).

"Running overtime" usually means short R4 that begins as Speed-Up.
