Over $90,000 just waiting to be won on...

Today's contestants:
Steve Goldman: Student at San Diego State studying sports broadcasting, from San Diego, CA

Elleen Hooper: Special education teacher (who has never been on a roller coaster before!)

We're sticking a sparkly $5,000 space on the Wheel, and somebody had better land on it!
DING DING! DING DING!
Can't we go any faster? Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $600 a piece.
Steve: J ($600)
Steve solves POETIC JUSTICE.

Pat and Vanna talk about what they've done together. One thing Vanna can't handle is roller coasters, and she thinks her stomach can't take it. The thought of dropping from such heights is not fun for her. An important tip from Pat? Do not wear that dress on a roller coaster.
