From the George R. Brown Center in Houston, it's America's game!
Today's finalists:
Sharon McNeill (returning with a total of $5,300)
Cheryl Leonard (returning with a total of $24,586)
Richard Eaton (returning with a total of $55,618)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Remember that we're starting with clean slates again, so Sharon doesn't have to be discouraged. Now to the game...
Cheryl solves THE EYES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU. Pat explains that it's not a Title because that would just be The Eyes of Texas.
We need to stick to the better part of the Wheel. The $3,500 and Jackpot spaces will try to make up for that last round...especially with a $10,000 Friday Jackpot.
Cheryl solves URBAN COWBOY STARRING JOHN TRAVOLTA. Pat is about to go deaf!
How about we quiet down? Let Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $250 a piece. Sharon will start.
Sharon: T ($250)
Cheryl: N ($250)
Richard: R (x2) ($500)
Sharon: S (x3) ($1,000)
