From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Endless Summer!

Today's contestants:
Johanna Jowitt: Student at Winthrop University majoring in theater performance (and maybe happier to be here than Pat), from Matthews, NC
Vicki Leech: Works part-time for a local insurance company, from Lawrenceville, GA
Berdell Knowles: Consultant, graduated from MIT and just moved from Boston; now living in Playa del Rey, CA

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, which is happy to be on the Wheel...if only for a moment. Try to hit it while you have the chance!
