All she turns down from the Sure Thing Jackpot (Curtain #2) is some backyard furniture & $500, totaling $2,324. The $2 Envelopes are in #7, #2...& #5- PERFECT ROUND (I didn't think she was going to win given the low total value of the STJ)!

PERFECT ROUND #2

THE BIG DEAL: Surprisingly...Heather trades back her trip for the opportunity of winning a $24,634 Big Deal of the Day (this is the BD value Jason Block got confused w/ on the same taping day), which may have at least two vacations; she wants to go to New Zealand or somewhere in South America (remember, Belize is in said continent). Door #2's chosen again...but all that's there is the $2,149 Cali Classic scooter.

#1- Trips to Hawaii & Barcelona
#3- Half-cage fitness machine w/ the SAMSUNG 40" LCD HDTV & six months of personal training lessons ($7,439)

WoF: The first category of tonight's spooky Toss-Ups is On the Map & because it's a one-wordy, I think I know it already:

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I A

Brandon solves TRANSYLVANIA w/ no trouble. Let's get to know all of these people:

Brandon Lindloff (Rockford, IL)- A poker dealer in Elgin & a sports fan engaged to Ashley who's expecting a child
Trista Struve (Flagstaff, AZ; originally from River Falls, WI)- An office manager for a roofing company engaged to Phil
Nikki Lietzke (Burbank)- A major movie studio tour guide & an event/wedding planner

(Notes: On Wheel Deals! Wednesdays like this one, you can can hear about special offers later in the show; this week's comes from 1-800flowers.com. Also, did you know that the now-defunct Burbank VIDEO once distributed the 1977 "Let's Make a Deal" documentary titled "Deal"?)

$2K TU subject's Living Thing:

W _ A _ E

S _ _ R K

Brandon gets WHALE SHARK for the tripler & control.

Available on the wheel's a trip to the Woodlands Inn (which is a restored 1906 mansion) w/ a Charleston, SC Ghost Dungeon Walking Tour worth $5,535; the puzzle category of the Eggland's Best Jackpot Round is Title. His lead-off letter choices are three T's for $7.5K, three I's & E's, two H's for another $900, an O & two A's before we get this...

I T ' _ / T H E

_ _ E A T / _ _ _ _ _ I _

_ H A _ _ I E / _ _ O _ _

...he solves "IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN" for the remaining $7,400 in his bank & new cash winnings of $10,400.

PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $7,950

First in the Before & After Round, Trista calls four N's for $3,600, buys an E, Free Plays three I's & calls six T's for another $1,800 & five H's for the Million Dollar Wedge; coming her way after that are three FP A's but then the Bankrupt next to $3.5K to take away her MDW & $5,150. Nikki secondly calls trip G's for $10.5K, buys an O & the light bulb in her head comes on...

T H I N G _ / T H A T

G O / _ _ _ _ / I N

T H E / N I G H T

_ A T _ H _ A N

...or so I thought- she blows the $10,250 solve w/ THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT MARATHON. Moving over to Brandon, he calls a $500 S for a 1/2 Car & we now have showing...

T H I N G S / T H A T

G O / _ _ _ _ / I N

T H E / N I G H T

_ A T _ H _ A N

...he steals THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT WATCHMAN to stay perfect w/ $11,400.

SOLE BANKRUPT: Trista
SOLE DQ: Nikki (blown solve)

But Nikki shouldn't panic too much, because she's going first in this match's Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round; the category of this board's Phrase. First from her is an instant dud of R. Second, Brandon calls for two T's for the PartyCity gift tag, four H's for $1,600 & buys the O & a couple E's...

_ H _ _ H / _ _ _ / T O

T H E / _ E _ _ _ H ?

...he'll ask "WHICH WAY TO THE BEACH?", since he's won an extra $2,100 in cash & party supplies in addition to a trip to the Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort in Aruba w/ a $5,100 price tag, making his new total $18,600 in cash & stuff.

SOLE DUD: $800 R (Nikki)

TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: JP6113599 (Jeanine P. from Florida)

(If you subscribe to Wheel Deals! tonight, you can get a $20 gift at 1-800flowers.com for half the price. And if you use your Sony Card, you'll only have to pay $8 instead of $10.)

Onto the $3K TU, where the solution's a Place:

C _ S _ _ M E

S H _ P

Brandon's sweep bid is still alive after he says COSTUME SHOP to reach the $21,600 mark.

This next puzzle's dealing w/ Fun & Games. This time, his letter call rundown consists of a $500 N, a $450 S, an I, but then a T call stops him in his tracks. Second, Trista picks up a $600 G & an E, but she then calls D for dud. While third in line this round, Nikki hits the other natural Bankrupt. Back to big Brandon, he calls the three B's because he thinks he has an idea...

B _ B B I N G / _ _ _

_ _ _ _ E S

...& he sure does when it comes to BOBBING FOR APPLES, so his cash/prize total's $22,600.

DUDS: $900 D (Trista), $300 T (Brandon)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Nikki

What Are You Doing? is the next question we ask. After Trista calls an $800 N, it's time for Last Chance Mode...

_ _ _ _ _ _ N _ / _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

...w/ all of the leftover consonants paying off at $1,350 per appearance. After a K gets called...

C H _ C K _ N G / M _

H _ R _ S C _ _ _

...SOMEONE'S RAN THE TABLE IN THE MAINGAME!!! With Brandon's solve of CHECKING MY HOROSCOPE, he takes $25,300 in cash & prizes to Bonusland!

Thus, $27,300 in total winnings have been awarded tonight.

DUDS: L (Nikki), T (Brandon)

TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH (excluding MDW): $5,150

MAXWELL HOUSE TOTAL CLEAN SWEEP ALERT: Brandon's the first BMR entrant this season not to bring anybody along in the audience, but he spins the N in SPIN & gets this to start on a Thing:

_ _ R T _

_ _ _ _ R

DMGA adds at least one A...

_ A R T _

_ A _ _ R

...but he's wrong w/ PARTY CAPER & PARTY PAPER. I hope he just didn't toss aside a PARTY FAVOR that was worth $100K...






































































































































































































































...no, it was valued at $35K. He still leaves w/ $25,300 in cash & stuff.

Oh, & Pat Sajak, happy 65th!

After a SWEEP of Goin' Solo, Gabor's gotten to Lock Game Territory w/ $5,400 at the first break; Ryan's at $2,200 & Abigail's starting out w/ four Benjamins. Two clues later, Gabor has the Daily Double behind the $800 A Little Legalese clue after going hunting for it in the middle right after the commercials. He wagers 4/6 of his $6K on this clue:

Leading questions may be used when dealing w/ an adverse witness, also called this type of witness.

"What is argumentative?"...just cost him the lead for now & drops him to $2K. Correct: "What is hostile?". He finishes this round in second place w/ $3,800 & trails Ryan by $600; Abigail gets the first pick in the second round w/ $2,200.

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $400 (A Little Legalese)

Gabor's 2-for-2 on finding a DD during his DDH moments; this one's under the center of What's New in Archaeology & he's back in LGT w/ $9,800; Ryan's got $4,400 & Abigail's barely improved to three grand. His wager on this is $4,200:

Device used by Terry Herbert to find the "Staffordshire Hoard" of buried Anglo-Saxon gold.

"What is...a metal detector?"...that good guess' right to stay very well ahead w/ $14K! Does he complete the DD Sweep...no, Ryan's got the third one on the last State's Rights clue w/ $6,800, exactly half of the champion's current score for the night. But Ryan actually bets four thou:

Tennessee

"What is North Carolina?"...that's the correct East Coast state to stay in it at $10,800!

If he wants to be the last entrant into next week's Tournament of Champions, he'll probably need to stay on the pace he's currently on, sweep the rest of this week & lose on Monday or Tuesday.
