From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to New York Week!
Today's contestants:
Michelle Hampton: Aspiring actress and has done some stand-in work in movies, also likes weightlifting and working out; from Charlotte, NC
Dan Liftman: Congressional aide and freelance writer, has a girlfriend in Sweden that me met online; from Lake Worth, FL
Bryan Hammer: "Spare time" student (who bungee jumps, hang glides, and sails during his "normal" time), from Tampa
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. This is not a simple act. The money is real, and it's going to get even better!
Dan solves INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. After Michelle did all the heavy lifting...
Perfection! Dan solves I'M GONNA MAKE HIM AN OFFER HE CAN'T REFUSE.
If Bryan promises to try for the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces, we'll finally let him spin. How does that sound?
Dan solves SCOTTISH SCIENTISTS CLONE SHEEP. "10 years ago, we never would've used that puzzle!"
10 years ago, we did use the $5,000 space, and we're still going to use it today.
He's been playing so quickly that someone else can still win something. Let's play another round!
Bryan solves OBSERVATION TOWER.
Since Bryan got something, why not Michelle? We have time for one more round!
Dan solves HAIR STYLIST to keep the telescope. We've officially run out of puzzles.
BONUS ROUND:

Pat educates Dan that some of the "most attractive women" are actually male big rig drivers.

Luckily, Michelle doesn't have to carry in this prize. We've added a Meade telescope (labeled TELESCOPE) worth $3,700.

He says MYLACE, SOLACE, and CALICO. He does not solve POLICY (which reveals very slowly)...
...and he won't be taking the New York & Infiniti. Dan still finishes with $23,500 in cash and telescope!
Pat and Vanna talk about the problems with the puzzle board. Harry Friedman was clutching his heart as Vanna was punching one of the monitors. Pat says he would kick it. Anyway, it's the first time a monitor has resisted Vanna's touch.
