Can you solve this Preview Puzzle?
Today's contestants:
Annie McAuley: Aspiring actress, from Los Angeles, CA
Mario Del Valle: Medical student at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, from Lindenwold
Darlene Swyer: Training coordinator, from Marietta, GA
And today's NBA players:
From the Los Angeles Lakers, Robert Horry! (playing for Child Care at Texas Children's Hospital)
13-time all-star John Hondo Havlicek! (playing for Genesis Fund and Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children)
From the Portland Trail Blazers, Steve Smith! (playing for Reading is Fundamental)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. After a Preview Puzzle like that, maybe we should've started with something bigger.
Perfection! Annie & Robert solve ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.
Darlene & Steve solve ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER & MARIA SHRIVER. There's also a $3,000 Puzzler for this one!
They miss and do not solve I'LL BE BACK. Pat's impression is more like a vampire than Arnold.
Annie & Robert solve BURGER KING-SIZE BED to keep the trip!
With the clock ticking closer to zero, Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. The red team starts!
Annie & Robert: S ($1,600)
Mario & John: N ($1,600) (John tries to spin before the letter.)
Darlene & Steve: T (DUD!)
Annie & Robert: L (DUD!)
Mario & John: R ($3,200)
Darlene & Steve: D ($1,600)
Steve says BAND MARCHES.
Annie & Robert: B (DUD!)
Mario & John: W (DUD!)
Darlene & Steve: H (DUD!)
Annie & Robert: M (x2) ($4,800)
Annie & Robert solve FOND MEMORIES.
Not exactly the best memory for Mario. Though he got to play with a celebrity, Mario leaves with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them...after some time...

BONUS ROUND:
Among our grand prizes are an NBA All-Star trip and a Buick Regal GS.
Before they play, Pat notices Annie's really high shoes. Annie believes they are 6 inches high at the heel.
Now let's think about the puzzle ahead, after Annie picks the L for love of the L.A. Lakers.

Vanna hasn't lit the second I yet, but Annie solves PILGRIMS! Some crazy hugging, and then we see...
...it's a 2000 Chevy Blazer 4x4 worth $33,281! Annie leaves with a total of $48,921! That total is matched for Robert's charity.
Annie talks with Pat and Vanna in the post game about her old car: It's a 1961 Rambler with no brakes, wipers, or horns. It also has two hubcaps and no door locks. Pat thinks they have a grand prize for the next show.
