Airdate: June 4, 1997
Today's contestants:
Jimmy Chambers: Analytical chemist for a major generic pharmaceutical manufacturer, from Marshville, NC
Marc Schaffer: Stuntman at a theme park (and has never been hurt), from Woodland Hills, CA (originally from Bakersfield)
Kristie Hood: Orthodontist, from South St. Paul, MN (originally from Emmetsburg, IA)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Pat may have run out of thanks after the intro, but he'll never run out of money, so let's start winning!
Really, who could ever forget the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces?
You might think you can just "throw it back" until you hit the $5,000 space. If only that was allowed...
Marc solves GUMBY & POKEY. Pat saw the light bulb go off, with Marc wondering who Gumby hung out with.
DING DING! DING DING!
Yeah, maybe before things go downhill, Pat should give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants will be worth... $600 a piece.
Marc: G (DUD!)
Kristie: D ($600)
Kristie says PAT IT DOWN and EAT IT DOWN.
Jimmy: W ($600)
Now Jimmy guesses LET IT DOWN, PUT IT DOWN, and GET IT DOWN. Everyone starts laughing.
RSTLNE gives her:
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! We continue Far Away Places!

In the post-game, Pat and Vanna are relaxing in some easy chairs, a benefit for Vanna being pregnant. Hers has a vibrate switch on it, but Pat wants something. The staff come out and shake the chair for him.
