From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! It's time for Best Friends Week!
Today's teams:
Diana & Leslie: They met at elementary school...where they hated each other at first. They've each been dating someone for 11 years (Diana before marrying). Diana is a Grade 4 teacher, and Leslie is a visual merchandiser for a major retailer. Both are from California.
Brad & Michael: Both have been pals for 5 years. They just graduated from UC Santa Barbara and want to go to law school, and they even did that "bull running thing in Spain". They are from California.
Terry & Julia: They've been friends "for all of a whole year", and they love games including crosswords. Terry is a mother of one and brought a "good-luck charm" stuffed animal with her. Julia is a mother of two, and she works for a distributor of computer and computer-related products. Both are from California.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. It's just you and the Big Money for now. The Wheel isn't too crowded...yet.
Diana & Leslie solve PLAYING PHONE TAG. The Surprise is calling! It's a Moorings yachting holiday in Tahiti worth $10,476! Pat has been deafened in both ears.
Terry & Julia say I'M LATE FOR AN IMPORTANT DATE...but they forgot something in the middle.
It's not too late to try and hit the $3,500 space! While you play, the Jackpot is waiting for just the right moment.
Diana & Leslie just solve JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE for the money they have.
Maybe we shouldn't be surprised, but Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Who's gonna take it?
Diana & Leslie: T (x4!) ($20,000)
Brad & Michael: N (x4!) ($20,000)
Terry & Julia: R (x3!) ($15,000)
Terry & Julia solve TONY WINNER BERNADETTE PETERS for plenty of money!
It's just been that kind of night. Brad & Michael couldn't take that last one, so now they take only the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives them:

Pat: It's crowded! We couldn't get another person in here if we had to.

They try ORSON, but they do not solve OPRAH WINFREY, and now they're kicking themselves over it.
That silence costs them the pair of cars, and they scream. "Imagine had they won." Diana & Leslie still have $24,726 and might return on Friday!
