From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game!
Today's contestants:
Gordon Schnaper (returning with a 2-day total of $46,033)
Matt Raimi: Senior air man in the U.S. Air Force stationed in Honolulu, originally from Lafayette, LA
Tina Besseman: Human resource information analyst for a major direct mail advertising company, from Redford, MI
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Gordon solves WANTED BY THE FBI to pick up another Surprise...a Mediterranean cruise worth $8,350.
Tina solves DON'T SPEND IT ALL IT ONE PLACE to keep the art.
Let's get down to business! We've added the $5,000 space and a trip to VIRGINIA to the Wheel! We also have a big puzzle!
DING DING! DING DING!
I guess this puzzle was too big? Pat now has to give the Wheel a Final Spin! Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Gordon: P (x2) ($5,650)
Perfection! solves SITTING PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON IT.
Not a pretty ending for Matt, who will be leaving with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Gordon is undefeated, though he has one more trip to Bonus Land where he could win one of...
Ski Switzerland trip ($24,000)
Frances, I mean Ski Switzerland "WHAT?!" It's a "ski thing" with a Chevrolet! ($26,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)
RSTLNE gives him:
DGPI should give him a strong finish...
...but instead, he's on his own.

Already, it's going to be tough to catch up, but this prize should help a little. It's a Boehm American Artists' porcelain woodcock (labeled ART) worth $1,875.
We've added a $2,500 space as well, so catching up could be a little easier.

It would appear that Charlie was reading the wrong prize copy.
That might not matter, as Gordon just has to pick an envelope. Let's try the H again, and here's the final puzzle:

...but instead, he's on his own.
He does not solve ON THE SURFACE...
...so the Ski Switzerland trip goes back into hiding. Gordon will be leaving with a total of $64,183 in cash and prizes!
In the post-game, Pat says Vanna is the most efficient person he knows. Around June, she usually finishes her Christmas shopping, but this time, the baby has set her back. She's gonna be doing it like the rest of the country.
