From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Beverly Hills Week!
Today's contestants:
Jerry Carr: Young grandfather who enjoys "indoor skydiving" (in a vertical wind tunnel environment), from Lavergne, TN
Karen Gonzalez: Works for a car dealership, from Bakersfield, CA
Gregg Collins: Massage therapist/actor, from North Hollywood, CA (lived in Guam for a time)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, and once you see the sparkles, you'll know you don't want to leave. Let's get started!
Jerry solves OFF THE BEATEN PATH.
Jerry reads what's on the board.
We can't give those prizes away, can we? Well, let's try the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces instead.
JACKPOT! Gregg solves TYSON-HOLYFIELD CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT, and we award that $11,000 pot!
Well, we're making a comeback, though we can take it even further with the $5,000 space.
DING DING! DING DING!
It's surprising that it didn't start like this. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $600 a piece.
Karen: C ($1,100)
Gregg: H (DUD!)
Jerry: T (DUD!)
Karen: M (DUD!)
Gregg: D (DUD!)
Jerry: R (DUD!)

$750 |
This prize has been out of the way for a while, but now we bring it in! It's a Louis Vuitton leather goods gift certificate (labeled LOUIS VUITTON) worth $2,500.
Being that it's Beverly Hills, the $2,500 space and $10,000 prize don't seem like much, do they? But we do have a bigger puzzle.

It was a bit early when Karen called some wrong letters. Excuses, y'know. But she still gets only the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Boy, that Jackpot changed everything! Gregg's in Bonus Land to play for one of the BMWs, a Beverly Hills shopping spree, a QE2 holiday, or the $25,000!
Gregg's taking the L, and there's just one more puzzle ahead:

...and his mega prize is the $25,000! Gregg finishes with $37,200 and is probably coming back on Friday!
In the post-game, Vanna is impressed to be able to introduce Nolan Miller to the studio! He says that anything you put on Vanna looks great! Pat says he told Lesly that Nolan left the design business and became a missionary in Europe.
