From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Let's take a trip to the Canadian Rockies!
Today's contestants:
Terri Brown: Research assistant at a gene therapy based pharmaceutical company, from San Diego, CA (originally from Redding)
Michael McKeever: Works for an insurance company, also received Toastmasters awards for public speaking, from Columbus, OH
Tina Allison-Spencer: Works for the Florida government, from DeLand
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Thankfully, we don't have any rule about the better sparkly space other than just keeping them in order.
Michael solves YOU CAN COUNT ON ME TARZAN.
Michael solves BAKED BY LITTLE ELVES IN A HOLLOW TREE to keep the Hershey prize! It all sounds tasty, and so might the $2,000 bonus for answering the clue!
He knows it! It's Keebler cookies. Pat mentioned there are some other unknown elves that make quiches.
If Tina promises to behave, she might just get the best treatment from the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces!
After some difficulty, Tina solves ANIMAL EXPERT JOAN EMBERY. Pat says he lost about 8 pounds during that round.
We're still not experts on time. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $250 a piece. Terri starts.
Terri: T (DUD!)
Michael: S ($250) (He guesses SANDBOX.)
Tina: R ($250)
Terri: N (x2) ($500)
Michael: C (DUD!)
Tina: M (DUD!)
Terri: L (DUD!)
Michael: G (x2) ($750)
Michael solves SAVANNAH GEORGIA.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
HCDA helps with the last word.

During Michael's interview, Pat says there's a rule about people who sound better than himself if they appear on the show.

Me prize! Holiday at Hershey, Pennsylvania! Chocolate! (labeled PENNSYLVANIA) worth $3,900.
Well, the $2,500 space and $10,000 prize feel too superior for "jungle speak".

After hitting Lose A Turn, Tina was probably looking at the yellow arrow on SURPRISE, and she started jumping around before Pat told her what she actually landed on. Not to worry. A little editing, and nobody will know, right?

Pat respects Vanna's intelligence. However, Pat notes that she said one of the oddest things - she likes chocolate chip cookies, but she'd like them better if they didn't have chocolate chips in them. Pat won't be able to explain.
