PROPER NAME

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Our new millennium begins with a trip to Hawaii Week!

The answer to the Preview Puzzle is AL PACINO.

Our 1000 years begin with these three:
Kristina Nabors: 8th grade Algebra teacher, from San Diego, CA
Ricky Soleeva: Doctor in the Philippines specializing in pediatrics and speech anatomy, from Moreno Valley, CA (also working in a casino as a "cash something" at their cash department)
Matt Linder: Retail manager, from Seattle, WA (originally from Wisconsin)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, maybe our little message to make the next 1000 years wonderful.

For now, we'll try giving away a prize. Here's a Zenith 60-inch home theater projection TV (labeled BIG SCREEN) worth $2,999.

Time to start with some "bigger" money! Here come the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces!

We're getting there, and now maybe Kristina can win something. It might include a vacation at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki (labeled OAHU) worth $6,240.

A new millennium would also be a good time to claim that Jackpot and maybe even hit the $3,500 space.

BONUS ROUND:

Kristina is the first main game winner of the new millennium, but let's go all the way with a win in Bonus Land! She might get...

Pair of Kawasaki jet skis ($15,000)

Convertible (over $27,000)

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (over $30,000)

2000 Ford Expedition (over $34,000)

"The cash" ($25,000)

Plenty of good prizes. Kristina starts with the H. We'll start with this Bonus Puzzle:

THING

Kristina is stuck on SHOW, and she does not solve CARGO SHIP, but she also decides not to look at the envelope reveal.

It's the Jeep. She turns around quickly, and Pat asks if she wants to know anyway. She says yes, so they look again.

Kristina will be leaving with $6,100 in cash.

Pat and Vanna talk about the new millennium during the post-game. Pat wonders how everyone is going to deal with all the new forms as we move from 19XX to 20XX.

Pat mentioned the new forms, and in terms of minimum age (wherever it is 21 years old), it's finally going to cause problems this year. Perfect timing for a recap, I guess.

In my case, it's only 19 years old in British Columbia (18 for voting), so we've already had that problem a few times.

The first show of 2006, 2007, and now 2000 recapped here.

Also, the convertible was a Chrysler Sebring.

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.
