From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Sweethearts Week!
Today's contestants:
Les & Pamela: Married 4½ years. Les is a Marine for 7 years and counting, and Pamela is a stay-at-home mom. They have two children.
Randy & Christine: Randy proposed on January 1, 1996. He's a supervisor for an international marketing company, and Christine is a freelance writer, and Randy gave her plenty to write about.
Richard & Karen: Married 27 years. Richard is in the haircut business, and Karen is an administrative assistant for a home healthcare agency. They'll be first-time grandparents!
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. If it suddenly proposes to share some of its money with you, just take it!
So many ways to score some money, but the easiest might just be with the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces.
Pamela opts to solve but gets stuck, saying only AUNT BEE & SHERIFF TAYLOR.
Richard & Karen solve AUNT BEE OPIE & SHERIFF ANDY TAYLOR.
That last round went a little long, so Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece. Les & Pamela get another chance at some money.
