Can you solve this Preview Puzzle?
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Southern California Week is almost over...
The answer to the above puzzle is MANICOTTI.
Today's contestants:
Denise Werchniak (?): Junior at Butler University studying elementary education, from Indianapolis, IN
Elene Freeman: Retired data processor, also a mother of four boys and grandmother; from Oceanside, CA
Steve Sebold: Graphic designer, from Lake Wylie, SC
Elene knows how to whistle through her teeth to get the attention of her boys, and she demonstrates to Pat, and he's curious what else she can do. She does a "toothpaste" by sticking out her tongue with fingers on her cheeks.
Steve seems a little crazy right now, and he might need the whistle treatment himself.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. The Big Money doesn't need to whistle! It has your attention. There's also that one other whistle that we could do without.
Denise solves OLYMPIA WASHINGTON. How about a little extra after a weird round? She must solve a $3,000 Puzzler...
Total silence. Even with 6 seconds, she does not solve APPLES.
Denise says THEY NIBBLED ON A GINGERGREAD HOME. The audience cheers but then stops, and Denise realizes her mistake.
Elene solves THEY NIBBLED ON A GINGERGREAD HOUSE. Maybe she can get us out of trouble with a $3,000 bonus by telling us who they are!
Elene reads what's on the board.
Not much time left, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $5,000 + $1,000 for $6,000 a piece! One more shot for Denise! Steve just can't stand still!
Denise: S (x2) ($12,000)
Elene: T (x3!) ($18,000)
Steve: R ($6,000)
Denise: H ($18,000)
Elene: L (DUD!)
Steve: N (x2) ($18,000) (He thinks the second word is STRONG.)
Denise: G ($24,000)
Elene: I ($18,000)
Steve: C!!! ($24,000)
Cover your ears! Steve solves THE STRING SECTION for a massive win! He says "You rock!" to Pat!
BONUS ROUND:

As we keep an eye on Steve, we'll take some time to add a prize. It's a Rave Sports water sports gift certificate (labeled WATER SPORTS) worth $3,000.
And then the $2,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces come out. Steve might just go crazy again, especially with this big puzzle.

And she does! They are Hansel & Gretel. After some hugging, Pat says "watch what I can do" and tries to make armpit noises.

Pat must show some respect for this coming prize. We have a trip to Jamaica and stay at Round Hill Hotel and Villas (labeled JAMAICA) worth $5,904.
That's not to say the $3,500 or Jackpot spaces should be ignored. Think of what they can do for us!

BONUS ROUND:
Just the thought of his trip to Bonus Land is too much, but Steve will play for an extra prize! It will be San Diego plus sailboat, the Laguna trip plus Miata, or the $25,000.
By the way, if Steve solves, Pat's leaving.
Don't do anything to hurt anybody, Steve! Just pick that L and solve this puzzle calmly.

Despite the help, he blanks. He does not solve CAMBRIDGE, but he knows he has $24,000 already! He could buy a boat!
Just for the record, he missed out on the Laguna & Miata, and he asks who even needs a Miata. Again, Steve is leaving with plenty of cash!
Pat and Vanna notes that this was a wacky show tonight. It puts Pat in the mood to untie his hair as he usually does off-camera. Looks like his hair is longer than you think!
