Lauraine Wagner: Newspaper editor and writer, from Stevensville, MD
Nancy Kruger: Mother of two
Reggie Sullivan: Consultant/counselor/evangelist/minister, from Los Angeles, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Reggie solves STEVIE WONDER.
I wonder what our prize will be? Let's make it a trip to the Bahamas for a Windjammer Barefoot Cruise (labeled CRUISE) worth $2,686.
Lauraine solves RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Pat said at the start of the show that he was expecting something big. Maybe it will happen now with the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
Nancy: B ($250)
Nancy solves CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST. Since she doesn't have enough to spend, her $250 is going on a gift certificate.

She says STATE to herself, but she does not solve STATE FLOWER. Lauraine leaves with just $600 in prizes.
In the post-game, Pat is wearing a shiny star on his suit. When the star is on a prize, it is available in the Bonus Round. It may be a car, or it may be a simple washer/dryer.
Then...Pat looks under the rail, finding gum wrappers and a fish among things.
