From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Big Money Week!
And when we say big money, we mean big money. Somebody would win...
$100,000!
...like other prizes, Pat not included.
More on that later. Right now, a few pennies your way with a Toss-Up:
Go!
Claudia solves YOU BE THE JUDGE.
Today's big spenders:
Claudia Oliverio: Married, is a flight attendant (for 16 years), San Marcos, CA
La Donna Lewis: Instructs to help with literacy, has been to 27 states in 28 days with a church group, is from Inglewood, CA
Brian Shelou (?): Engaged, is a personal fitness trainer, East Point, MI
(Brian also impersonates a Donald Duck voice for Pat.)
We just keep building up tension before the big one. Here's another Toss-Up:
Go!
La Donna solves CHERRY KOOL-AID.
We also like to do it by surprise, but we can't decide. Round 1 should buy us some time:
Brian solves NEWBORN PUP TENT.
How about just a little taste? We bring in some Blockbuster gift cards (labeled MOVIES) combined at $2,500.
Maybe a big bite. We also bring in the Jackpot wedge.
Brian solves A CATCH-## IS AN ILLOGICAL SITUATION. It makes sense that he should be able to get a $3,000 bonus from this...
And he does with the number 22.
Spoiling someone a little bit more with another prize: A trip to Caesars Palace in Las Vegas (labeled VEGAS) worth $6,300.
La Donna solves EBERT & ROEPER AND THE MOVIES.
We just like doing this. Here's another Toss-Up to keep you waiting...
Go!
Claudia solves GREAT SALT LAKE.
DING DING! DING DING!
Somehow, Pat predicted this too accurately. Now he is subject to give the Wheel a Final Spin. He can get you consonants worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.
Claudia: P (x2) ($4,400)
Claudia solves FLUFFING UP PILLOWS.
BONUS ROUND:
Wait. Where's the envelope holder?
Gone! We have something new here...
A 24-space bonus prize Wheel! One lucky spin could net you...
"The cash" ($25,000)
Mercedes Benz C230 sports coupe (over $29,000)
Infiniti G20 4-door sedan
Honda Accord coupe (over $25,000)
But only one space contains our new top prize...
$100,000!
(The Wheel says "Win $100,000 Cash Bonus", and there are four colored spaces to make it look infinite.)
Brian becomes our first contestant to try this out! He gives it a spin!
The Wheel stops at the 10,000's digit. But just like old times, you must face a bonus puzzle. Here it is:
RSTLNE gives him...
In the new Bonus Round, he'll go with DGHI...
...but old shenanigans are not lost.
He makes several generic guesses, but does not solve QUEBEC, and he misses out on...
...the Honda. He still has a very good total of $21,900.
The camera didn't catch a clear view of where the $100,000 was hidden.
In the final segment, Vanna picks the envelope inside the comma, and it contains $25,000.
