From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! It's Home for the Holidays week!
Today's contestants:
Brett Bessie: Trainee manager for a large computer and office supply company, also a boys' Scout leader, from Houston, TX
Derrick Dyson: Auto paint sales representative, also a high school girls' basketball coach, from Detroit, MI
Kelly Nedsbund (?): Sales assistant for a major magazine, from Evergreen Park, IL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Pat says this is not a "little game", so don't think of this as a "little" space.
Derrick solves SWEET TREAT.
As Vanna walks to the side of the board, Derrick solves THERE SHE IS MISS AMERICA.
Is there a $3,000 bonus for Derrick? He must...
...never mind. The instant the letters appear, he solves SWIMSUIT. Pat wonders if Derrick has a vehicle double-parked outside since he's solving so fast.
Brett solves FROZEN TV DINNER RESERVATIONS.
We definitely felt that Bankrupt from Kelly, especially with Christmas coming, but here comes another opportunity! The $5,000 space is ready!
Kelly solves FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
DING DING! DING DING!
Very short on time, apparently. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $600 a piece.
Kelly: T (DUD!)
Brett: R ($600)
Derrick: C (DUD!)
Kelly: N (DUD!)
Brett: L (DUD!)
Derrick: H (DUD!)
Kelly: D ($600)

Derrick has won a Home for the Holidays vacation worth $27,776! He leaves with a total of $33,976 in cash and prizes!
