Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes waiting to be won on...
Today's contestants:
Mike Egbert (returning with a 1-day total of $1,300)
Ronda Good: Financial consultant in personnel
Merielen Peron: Mother of one (who collects insects for fun), from Dolton, IL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Merielen solves EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER. She hugs Pat like crazy, and he might not be able to handle it!
We gotta calm Merielen down. Even though we have a shorter puzzle, the $1,000 space might excite her again.
Merielen solves STRIKE IT RICH. She's calmed down, but Pat might still be nervous.
So far, Merielen has taken it all. She could really strike it rich with a $2,000 space on the Wheel!
Merielen solves JOHN DENVER.
Mike has one more chance in this round, but he must hit the big stuff.
DING DING! DING DING!
Mike is running out of time now, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $2,000 a piece!
Mike: R (DUD!)
Ronda: G ($2,000)
Merielen: S ($2,000)
Mike: T ($2,500)
Ronda: V (DUD!)
Merielen: D (DUD!)
Mike: E ($2,500)
Ronda: P ($4,000)
Ronda ends the sweep and solves STOOL PIGEON.
Mike leaves with the $1,300 he won earlier.

Wheel of Fortune!
This week is Bonus Week! Our best prizes are marked with stars, and if you're the big winner, you can try and take one in a special round at the end of the game!
Today's contestants:
Mike Egbert (returning with a 1-day total of $1,300)
Ronda Good: Financial consultant in personnel
Merielen Peron: Mother of one (who collects insects for fun), from Dolton, IL
Pat asks about the insects. When she collects them, they're dead. Does she kill them? He could drag this on for a while.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!

Halfway through, Susan says: "Come on. Try."
Merielen guesses BORN-TO, but does not solve DOWN TO EARTH. She finishes with $5,450 in prizes and is coming back.
In the post-game, Pat mentions it's Oscar night. Susan wonders if she's being nominated and she forgot. Pat's boycotting because "Motorcycle Leather Girls" was not nominated.
