Shhh! Put away your Game Boy. But while you're at it, solve this:
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Wheel Goes To The Movies Week!
The answer to the Preview puzzle was YOGI BEAR.
On the run, and in the studio:
Don Trent: Married, is a broker, Peoria, AZ
Matt Faias: Shipping clerk, Manteca, CA
Noel Wager: Married to very best friend. Is also a hemodialysis technician, from Belen, NM
A $1,000 TDV if they want to be quick as Round 1 starts:
Matt solves POTLUCK DINNER. Hungry for even more?! There's $3,000 waiting to be claimed...
...and he instantly solves CASSEROLE.
It is safe now? We want to add a Combination TV/DVD/VCR player and Universal Studios package (labeled VIDEO) worth $2,522.
No time for other distractions while the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces are in for this round:
Matt solves THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IN CALIFORNIA to keep the video package.
Pretend nothing suspicious. We'll just do what we normally do and add another prize, which is a trip to the International Cartoon Museum with passes to Universal Pictures (labeled ACCESS) worth $3,250.
So now to some of the stars, including the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces. Ready for another puzzle?
Matt solves CATHERINE ZETA-JONES.
Nearing deadline, Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece. Maybe Don can make up for the past:
Don: S (DUD!)
Matt: N ($1,300)
Noel: D (DUD!)
Don: R (DUD!)
Matt: T (x2) ($3,900)
Noel: B ($1,300)
Don: L ($1,300)
Matt: I (x2) ($3,900)
Noel: G ($2,600)
Noel solves BIG TOE THE LINE.
Well, that's show business for you. Some win, and some survive, but others just lose. Don is left with some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Matt wins and makes it to Bonus Land, where he could claim one more prize.
It takes time though. Matt takes his, and picks the L. He doesn't want to take a beating from this puzzle:
RSTLNE gives him...
Very carefully, it's BVDI:
He does not solve WE PULLED IT OFF...
...so he couldn't pull off a $25,000 win. He's still going away with $12,172.
During the post game, Pat brings something in reference to one of yesterday's puzzles which was ETCH A SKETCH, and Vanna tries to draw something on it. It's going to be a skyline. Pat notices a bit of dust and tries to shake it off. Tomorrow, Vanna hopes to have sketched a dump truck.
Shhh! Put away your Game Boy. But while you're at it, solve this:
