From the San Diego Convention Center, it's America's game! Welcome to College Week!
Today's contestants:
Nathan Kravetz: "A little older" (with plenty of gray hair), a full-time graduate student at Cal State Northridge; also a father of two and has written some children's books
Jeff Thurrell: First-year law student at University of San Diego, from Santa Rosa
Stephanie Sullivan: Attending the Fashion Institute of Designer Merchandising, majoring in merchandise manufacturing; from Spring Valley
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. It's never too late to score some Big Money. Now, let's play!
Jeff solves TRIX COCOA PUFFS & LUCKY CHARMS. He forgets the ampersand but corrects himself at the last millisecond.
So Trix are just for kids, but the $3,500 or Jackpot spaces are just for you!
Nathan guesses WHO YOU GONNA KILL GHOSTBUSTERS. Actually, he says "Gustbusters" at first, but that wasn't the problem.
JACKPOT! Jeff solves WHO YOU GONNA CALL GHOSTBUSTERS to reel in the $9,600 prize!
We've killed enough time, and now Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece. Nathan will start.
Nathan: R ($250)
(The camera suddenly cuts to the "final spin" shot of Pat, with the buzzer most certainly added in post-production.)
Jeff: T (x3) ($750) (Pat doesn't say how many T's there are.)
Stephanie: N ($250)
Nathan: S ($500)
Jeff: L (DUD!)
Stephanie: I (x2) ($250)
Nathan: H (x2) ($1,000)
Nathan solves I HAD MY HEART SET ON IT.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
DOMC leaves just a few blank spaces.

As a result of "a bad basketball game", Jeff has a cast on his right hand. He'll be spinning with his left.

Jeff now walks to the envelopes and grabs the H. Here's his puzzle:

...and he's taking the Europe for 4; a 14-day vacation with stops in Amsterdam, London, and Paris, with biking and balloon adventure in Burgundy Chateau country, and $4,000 in spending money; a prize totaling $26,000!
Jeff finishes with $47,000, and there's a good chance he'll be back on Friday!
In the post-game, Vanna admits she feels like doing a cheer with the cheerleaders, but she's not dressed for it right now.
