From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Inns of New England Week!
Today's contestants:
Shannon Clemens: Single mother interested in the medical field or teaching, from Port St. Lucie, FL
Michael Fields: Does some comedy and is interested in a comedy career, from South Pasadena, CA (originally from Morrow, GA)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. They've all got great interests, and the Wheel can certainly help pay for it if they're lucky!
Todd solves DANA CARVEY AS THE CHURCH LADY.
Well, let's roll out the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces to try and match (or even beat) that first round.
Perfection! Todd solves TENNIS ELBOW MACARONI.
Okay, that round was about as fast, but it still didn't award quite as much as the first one. Maybe we can hit the $5,000 space to bring in the cash!
Todd solves MAKING AN IMPROMPTU SPEECH.
DING DING! DING DING!
A possible tie game, and now Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece. It still makes a difference!
Todd: S ($250)
Shannon: P ($250)
Michael: T ($250)
Todd: R ($500)
Shannon: L ($500)
Shannon beats the buzzer and breaks the tie by solving WAITER CHECK PLEASE!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:

Michael Fields: Does some comedy and is interested in a comedy career, from South Pasadena, CA (originally from Morrow, GA)
Todd Gladfelter: Student in meteorology and broadcast journalism, from Norman, OK (originally from Naperville, IL)
Todd sounds unaware that Pat was actually a weatherman for 10 years. "You're kidding!" Pat says that's what pretty much everyone said, and that's why he's no longer doing it.

Perfection! Shannon solves AMERICAN BANDSTAND PREMIERES.
Pat asks who Dick Clark's "announcer sidekick pal" was on the show, but not a bonus question, so she doesn't get any extra money for that.
Shannon guesses Ed McMahon. Charlie laughs! Pat jokes about it for a bit.

Pat asks for Charlie Ed to bring out a prize. Here comes one year of Libman Company cleaning/maid service (labeled MAID) worth $5,400.
Can the $2,500 space and $10,000 prize follow the round we just had? Let's hope they can!

Michael's not gonna be paying the bill. He'll still be receiving some nice parting gifts, and maybe he has a new comedy act if he goes forward with his career.
BONUS ROUND:
Just to be sure, they check the tapes, and Shannon did solve ahead of the buzzer. Now she's in Bonus Land to look at...
Volvo (over $38,000)
New England countryside trip (over $16,000)
1998 Chevy Tahoe (over $31,000)
Annuity ($20,000)
Pat briefly reminisces about the shopping era before Shannon looks at the envelopes.
Now she picks the middle E, and a puzzle is coming...
