Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee, and the staff present this Preview Puzzle! Can you solve it?
From Madison Square Garden in New York City, it's America's game! Welcome to Best Friends Week!
Or, at Pat accidentally says, "Breast Friends" Week. Everyone laughs and cheers.
The answer to this puzzle is CHEESECAKE.
Today's teams:
David & Jonathan: Both are doctors in New Jersey and met professionally starting 10 years ago. David practices family and osteopathic medicine in Emerson. Jonathan does ear, nose, and throat in Bergen County.
Aysha & Nathan: Both met through a mutual firm. Aysha is a college graduate from University of Pennsylvania but a native of New York. Nathan is a program coordinator for children/youth for city of New York parks and recreation, living in NYC all his life.
Betty & Erica: Both are teachers but met as college roommates. Betty is a Grade 1 teacher in Plainview, while Erica is a Grade 2 teacher in Albany.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We do what we can so you can keep this game close to the heart.
Aysha & Nathan solve TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. Two puzzles for one, and an extra $3,000 awaits from this Puzzler!
And the moment those letters are revealed, they solve BARGAIN.
(Sort of) Perfection! Betty & Erica solve GLITTERING THEATER MARQUEE to keep the Club Med!
Someone has a chance to do even better by hitting that $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
Now we're running short of time, and Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece.
Aysha & Nathan: L ($1,600)
Betty & Erica: W ($1,600)
David & Jonathan: B (DUD!)
Aysha & Nathan: N (x3) ($6,400)
Aysha & Nathan beat the buzzer and solve YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON ME.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:

In the post-game, Vanna mentions that she had the opportunity to learn some music with Cabaret as well as some dancing! With her performance as Sally Bowles, that's a whole different way to look at Vanna White...
...after which Pat puts on a Sally Bowles wig! Charlie almost laughs while introducing the fee plugs.
