Haven't done a recap for a long time on this site, so why not? 
WHEEL GOES TO THE MOVIES
AIR DATE: 5/25/05
This is the last time that the show did this theme week. Also, Pat and Vanna walk on the studio's red carpet.
$1,000 Tossup: Show Biz
B A S E _ / _ _ / A
T R _ E / _ _ O _ Y
Add the words "This Film Was..." and you get a puzzle that Joyce Smith in the current season blew $14,150 (Includes the $10K Mystery Wedge.) on. Kelli solves "...BASED ON A TRUE STORY". The midweek panel...
Kelli Kinney: Lacey, WA. Married for 2 years to her high school sweetheart. Works for a credit union on Fort Lewis military post (AKA Supporting the military.).
Dennis Qin: San Leandro, CA. Recent grad from law school at the University of the Pacific. Speaks six languages (English, Cantonese, Spanish, Italian, French, German). Loves playing and watching sports.
Barbara Cassanova: Mabel Vail, AR. Registered nurse for the largest healthcare provider in the US and also serves as their union president. Married to Ray with 8 kids and 2 grandchildren. Doll collector that has almost a thousand Barbies, one Vanna, and no Pats. Obviously, Pat disapproves her doll collection.
$2,000 Tossup: Rhyme Time
_ E Q U E _ S / &
_ R E Q U E L S
Dennis gets DQed for leaving out the ampersand. Kelli steals it with SEQUELS & PREQUELS (Including the needed apostrophe.).
Gift Tags: Ebay (labeled ebaY) and Fandango (labeled FANDANGO)
$10,000 Round: Song Lyrics (Also the Prize Puzzle Round)

Kelli begins with 2 S's on $450, 2 $300 T's, buys 6 E's, but then R for rats while on the FREE SPIN. Dennis spins once for 5 N's on the ebaY (BIG waste right there.)...

...and recites "I AM SIXTEEN GOING ON SEVENTEEN" to win that prize and, appropriately enough, the Trafalgar SOUND OF MUSIC TOUR (Includes visits to Vienna, Salzburg, and Bavaria. A grand in spending cash is also provided.) worth $6,700.
Also, if you have Spin ID MB11308, your time has passed a long time ago.
Dud: R (Kelli)
Pre Round 2 Scores:
Barbara: Yet to Spin
Kelli: $3,000 Tossup Money
Dennis: $7,700 in stuff
Pat Sajak had trouble connecting the trip to the puzzle, so the camera crew took an extra shot at the puzzleboard. Also, the scoreboard operators forgot to add a grand to Dennis's total so far.
Prize Added to Wheel: Sony Home Entertainment System (Sony Graham Vega high-definition TV, Sony DVD dream system, and a year of DVD rentals from Netflix) worth $4,516 (Labeled NETFLIX. Also, the wedge is on the $800 space.)
Also, Pat admits that he's falling apart here.
Midas Jackpot Round: The 70's
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ ($5,000)
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _
Dennis immediately BANKRUPTs next to JACKPOT and Barbara duds out with N on the FANDANGO. Kelli picks up the NETFLIX with 3 T's, but then hits the same BANKRUPT to lose that. Dennis calls up 2 $600 S's (next to BANKRUPT), 4 $300 R's, buys 4 A's, 3 E's, but the O ends his turn.
Barbara calls up 2 $300 M's, but then hits the other BANKRUPT. Kelli calls up 3 L's for $10,500...
M A R T _ A L / A R T S ($9,700)

...and IDs MARTIAL ARTS FILM STAR BRUCE LEE for that much money.
Duds: N (Barbara), O (Dennis)
Bankrupts: 3 (Entire Panel)

Kelli: $13,500

Still trying to get on the board, Barbara lights up 2 $600 N's but then hits the BANKRUPT near $3,500. Kelli calls up 5 T's on $300, buys 3 E's, gets 2 $450 H's, buys an A, 3 O's, U, gets 3 $550 R's, a $400 G (near $600), buys 4 I's to clean out the vowels, but then that same BANKRUPT to take away $3,650. Afterwards, Dennis "buys" a $900 W and a $350 F...

...and while he isn't THROWING OUT THE CEREMONIAL FIRST PITCH (He did stumble a bit on the 4th word.), he gets $1,250 from that solve.
Bankrupts: 2 (Women)
Pre Round 3 Scores:
Barbara: No Luck
Kelli: $13,500
Dennis: $8,950 cash & stuff
Had the Prize Wedge been in it's correct spot, Dennis would've had $13,116 right now, putting him $384 off the lead.

Dennis lights up a $500 T, a $350 N, buys 2 E's, but then R for rats while on $600. Barbara gets a $550 S, but then L for loss while on $800 (She almost hit the LOSE A TURN.). Kelli calls up 2 $800 M's and 2 I's, but the bells ring out after that.

Final Spin: $1,550
Kelli: 1 C

Kelli: $16,400
Dennis: $11,950 cash & stuff
Maingame Total: $28,850
Bankrupt Trash: $9,966 cash & entertainment
Also, the results wouldn't have been affected had the Prize Wedge been in its correct spot - Dennis still would've lost by $284. Also, a promo for the "Jeopardy! Ultimate Tournament of Champions" finals is shown prior to the Bonus Round.

$100,000 Bonus Round
The cars on the stage are both convertibles - a Mazda Miata and a Ford Mustang GT. After Kelli introduces her husband (Alex) and her grandparents (Carv & Cliff), she spins up to the ****.

...and while I was KEEPING BUSY typing up this recap, she wins the $25,000 for a final all-cash sum of $41,400.
Closing Chat: Speaking about the R3 puzzle, Pat Sajak is involved with the minor league baseball teams in SoCal and Arizona (Chico, Fullerton, San Diego, Long Beach, Mesa, Surprise, Yuma). He'll be in Surprise, AZ throwing out the ceremonial first pitch sometime later. Also, the people that come to that game receive a Pat Sajak bobblehead.
