Here are the changes this time around...
-Any of the first three rounds is the Prize Puzzle. Expect the prizes to be in the $3,000 to the $6,000 range.
-There is no longer an appearance limit for returning champions; you can keep on playing until you lose.
Kourtney Wilson returns with $38,944. I need two challengers!

Since I gave it a 1-show gap between hosting and playing, shouldn't be too weird anymore. I'll jump in

Well, not necessarily. My friends are planning a movie trip sometime soon, and we’re supposed to be going to Universal!

Hi Kevin, nothing too special really. I've been at my "new" job just over 4 years and get a total of 15 days off per year, including sick time, etc. Couple that with my wife and I trying to save up to purchase a new home some day in the next few years and a vacation is not in the cards for us just now.

I know that feeling at work. I'll have used up all my time by the end of the summer. It still is nice to get out once in while. Last but not least is Kourtney Wilson. He's back with us for his third day, having already won $38,944!
*cheers and applause*
You having a good summer, Kourtney?

I am, although it’s mostly work as well for me. Hopefully I will take a vacation in September or October. I can definitely use one.

Very nice. That's a busy season for me, so I could use all the rest I can get for now.
If all three of you are ready, we'll do our next Toss-Up. $1,000 at stake for this puzzle. The category is On The Menu.

Do you gamble a lot? Because that's right!
*2002 puzzle solve cue*
You don't know how many things that could have been! That gets you $1,000. It's gonna buy a lot of that good stuff!
You get to play this game first, as soon as we hear about a prize on the wheel. Jim, tell us more!
Jim: Sure will, Kevin. We're celebrating Great American Cities, and first up is Sacramento! You and a guest will fly round trip to California's capital! There, you'll spend six nights at The Citizen Hotel, a luxurious establishment just minute away from all the sights and eateries that Sacramento has to offer. Tickets to a Sacramento Kings game are included: $4,134!
One fine city, several others following. Next Line Please is the category to our first puzzle.
You all know what that means, I hope. Bill, all the best!
