From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants (all male):
Brian Revell: Director of sales and marketing for an investor relations firm, also a former rapper; from Weston, CT
Tom Bachna (returning with a 1-day total of $27,850)
John Sobey: Pursuing an acting career, from Los Angeles, CA (originally from Connecticut)
John reads what's on the board. "Boy, we're becoming a hip show, aren't we?"
John solves FOUL PLAY IS SUSPECTED.
Brian solves DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP OVER IT. We turn out the lights, and it's time for him to score an extra $1,000 by unscrambling the letters.
He thinks PIANOS, but he has nothing else. The word was PASSION.
Time for the $5,000 space to wake up again, and time for some real Big Money! Might you try for a RING that we've added to the Wheel?
DING DING! DING DING!
(Tom asks to use his Free Spin 1/4 of a second before the bell, but he is declined at first. Nancy decides to allow him to use it.)
As time is short, Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Tom: B (x3) ($1,500+)
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
HGCI fills in plenty of letters.

Tom Bachna (returning with a 1-day total of $27,850)
John Sobey: Pursuing an acting career, from Los Angeles, CA (originally from Connecticut)
As a former rapper, Brian prepared something before the show:
Yo, here's the deal! I'm chillin' on the Wheel!
Tonight, you know this thing's for real
It's turnin', it's spinnin', everyone's grinnin'
Ain't nuttin' but a thing the people be winnin'
Some money tonight, and that's alright
Cause we're hangin' with Pat and Vanna White
and Charlie O! Don't you know?
Wheel of Fortune is America's show!
(Everyone applauds, and Pat and Vanna are also clapping!)
Pat: The people be winnin'?
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
