WoF: Last night, Nathan Chapman had some lucky spins in the second maingame round, but had another great spin at the Bonus Wheel at the wrong time, as he lost the $100K by two letters. Let's see what's on the agenda this evening.

$1K T-U: Person

D R I _ L

S _ _ _ _ _ _ T

Robert gets DRILL SERGEANT. Tonight's special folks:

Robert Duncan (Fallon, NV)- A former Marine who was last year's Military Spouse of the Year for the Navy; his wife Donna's a First Class member in the Navy (& his son Cody's in the Air Force)
Melissa Templeton (Camp Pendleton; originally from Kansas)- A woman married to Marine Corps Captain T.J. for 12 yrs. (& he's ready to go to Afghanistan for the second time)
Kate Sverkounova (San Pedro, CA)- A lady married to Chris (who's been a part of the L.A. Air Force Base's space program for 11 yrs.)

$2K T-U: Thing

C A _ E

P A _ K A _ E

Robert gets on the wrong track w/ CAKE for the first word before changing it to BAKER.

C A _ E

P A _ K A G E

Kate gets the $2K steal on a CARE PACKAGE.

Wednesday's Prize Wedge: Trip to the Green Valley Spa & Resort in St. George, UT from SpaFinder.com ($8K)
Tonight's Gift Tag: The Maids

Meineke Jackpot Round: Phrase

Kate kicks off w/ a dud in R. Second, Robert calls S for sorry while on the green 1/2 KIA. Third, Melissa calls two T's for $1,100 & a $600 H, purchases three E's & picks up the same 1/2 KIA w/ two L's for another thousand dollars, then she duds out w/ an I buy (the only such vowel on the board). Kate next inserts a non-negative two N's for $1,200, three A's, three D's for the Wild Card, but after three O's is a dud of P. Robert's next letters are a $600 F & a $500 C, but he then Loses a Turn. That means Melissa might solve this...

A _ O _ E / A N D

_ E _ O N D

T H E / C A L L

O F / D _ T _

...and ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY, she does for $2,200 & the early lead by $200.

DUDS: I (Melissa), $300 P (Kate), $400 R (Kate), $500 S (Robert)
SOLE LaT: Robert
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $9,550

Current Scores:

Kate: $2K (WC)/Robert: $1K/Melissa: $2,200 (1/2 KIA)

(Note: I believe Michelle Obama's doing a nightly message just prior to the first break for the rest of this week, effective last night.)

Mystery Round: Before & After

Robert's ready to go & he Free Plays a couple of E's & calls four R's while on the Mystery Wedge next to the Million Dollar Wedge. W/ no hesitation, he takes $4K for them (good, because had he flipped it over, he would've gone Bankrupt), then he calls an $800 S, buys two O's, an A but then the I's the negative vowel for the second straight round. Melissa next says four B's while on that same MW...wisely doesn't flip it over &...

R _ B B E R

B A _ _

O _ / B R O _ _ E R S

...keeps the $4K & control w/ a RUBBER BAND OF BROTHERS.

SOLE DUD: I (Robert)

Current Scores:

Kate: $2K (WC)/Robert: $1K/Melissa: $6,200 (1/2 KIA)

(Note: I think Pat flipping over that same MW for fun was edited out of this broadcast.)

Prize Puzzle Round: Food & Drink

She gets the blue 1/2 KIA right away & $1K w/ two T's, then comes a dud of R. Second for Kate is the Bankrupt next to top dollar, so there goes the WC. Third, Robert FPs two A's but then calls a dud of L. Back to Melissa, who buys two E's, calls up a $350 H & a $500 S & purchases three I's & U's to wipe the vowel slate clean for this puzzle, then she lights the same quantity of the $600 C's & $300 N's...

A U T H E N T I C

C A _ U N

C U I S I N E

...& wins another $18,800 in cash & KIA Soul, as well as a trip courtesy of Hotwire.com to The Roosevelt where she can taste some AUTHENTIC CAJUN CUISINE in New Orleans valued at $5,508, for a total this round alone of $24,308 in cash & stuff!

SOLE BANKRUPT: Kate

TONIGHT'S SPIN ID: EH6996404 (Estella H.)

Current Scores:

Kate: $2K/Robert: $1K/Melissa: $30,508 in cash & prizes

$3K T-U: Event

Kate's PASSING INSPECTION puts her at five large.

Last Chance Round: Fictional Characters

The value for the Speed-Up consonants is...$1,600. After Robert finds four N's...

_ _ _ _ N / _ N _

T H E / _ H _ _ _ _ N _ S

...he nails ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS for eight more G's.

Final Scores:

Kate: $5K/Robert: $9K/Melissa: $30,508 in cash & gifts
GRAND TOTAL: $44,508

TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH: WC

Big Money Round #97: Whatever she does, Melissa needs to avoid spinning that '...& the Bonus Wheel actually lands on the & this go-round.

Category: Phrase

Let in some opening letters, please:

_ _ _ E / _

_ _ S _

HMDO should give her a fair shot at this new layout...

M _ _ E / _

_ _ S H

...she's incorrect w/ MAKE A PUSH...MAKE A FISH...MAKE A FIST...but she decides to MAKE A WISH at the right time w/ about a second to spare! And I don't know how to tell her this...






















































































































































































...she's gonna have to pay tax & title on TWO rides now (making her the first civilian solo player to win two cars, I believe, since the start of the Nashville road trip on Feb. 3, 2003), because she's gotten an Explorer (Std., Tow, SRadio) worth $29,760! That makes her GT $65,268 in cash & merchandise!

(Final notes: Possibly because of time constraints, Jimmy omitted the "Your grand prize total..." line after mentioning the $5K bonus. Also, Pat pulled a Bob Barker & Roger Dobkowitz by erroneously saying the last time a single person won two automobiles on "Wheel" was on a Seattle road trip back in '47!)

J!: Starting off the College Championship semi-finals are:

Monica Thieu
Tyler Benedict
Weston Mangin

Light 'em up, Kevin:

KNOW YOUR CONSTITUTION
WEIGHTS & MEASURES
BUZZ BANDS
QUESTIONS
LITERARY LOCALES
COLLEGE "M"

Tyler's leading the other guy on this panel, $4,800-$2,600, at halftime; Monica's starting w/ six bills. W/ half a dozen clues left in the round & everybody hunting for one of those Daily Doubles...Tyler picks one off from the $1K "M" location w/ $7,400 & has a $2K lead over Weston; Monica's tripled to $1,800 by this point. Tyler gambles $2.5K & first place on this clue:

Founded in 1800, this liberal arts college has the Adirondacks to the West & the Green Mountains to the East.

"What is Marlboro College?"...thinking of that classic brand of cigarettes, NO- the actual name was Middlebury, so Tyler's $500 behind Weston...at round's end, Tyler's closed the gap to $100, $5,800-$5,700; Monica's a little more respectable third w/ $2K as the next round's about to begin.

SOLE TS (unattempted): $1K (Know Your Constitution)

Double J! Subjects:

ROGET'S MEETS BARTLETT'S
THE 21ST CENTURY
YAY, PHYSICS!
ON CABLE
ART & ARTISTS
SILENT B

Monica starts w/ the center On Cable screen...eventually, she has a reason to say "Yay, Physics!", because the $800 clue there holds a DD w/ $6,400 in her till; Weston's at $7K & Tyler's back in front of the pack w/ $9,300. By putting $3K at stake, she could take the lead after hearing the following Video answer from Jimmy Maguire in the lab:

The flying spaceman's twin rotors spin in opposite directions, keeping him from spinning out of control by cancelling out the effects of this rotational force.

"What is torque?"...is correct for a $100 lead! Behind the $1,600 clue dealing w/ The 16th Century is Tyler's other DD of this match; w/ $12.5K, Weston's $1,300 ahead of him & Monica's close behind the guys w/ $10,600. For $1.5K & to move back into first, the answer's:

Named for this San Franciscan, the USA's first public high school for gay students opened in 2003.

"Who is Harvey Milk?"...interesting name & right to be $200 ahead at the $14K level!

SOLE ATTEMPTED TS: $400 (Roget's Meets Bartlett's)
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS: $2K (On Cable)
TOTAL DJ! LACH TRASH: $2,400

Heading into Final J!:

Weston: $17K
Tyler: $15,600
Monica: $12,200

CORYAT SCORES:

Weston: $17K
Tyler: $15,200
Monica: $10K

FJ! CATEGORY: Comic Books.

An inspiration for this character introduced in 1929 was 15-year-old Palle Huld's 1928 44-day voyage around the world.

Starting w/ Monica, her final query tonight's "Who is Tintin?"...right on to nearly double to $24,200! Tyler...loses w/ Steve Canyon & a mere $1.5K wager. Weston...is out, too, w/ The Silver Surfer & a modest $6K bet. In any event (w/ a Zerg Cam shot to boot), Monica's a finalist!

B IQ: This is the final night of the opening-round matches.
