From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Just a little more time to say Happy Holidays!
Today's finalists:
Milt Holmes (returning with a total of $14,816)
Kim Bagwell (returning with a total of $14,636)
Mike Kimmel (returning with a total of $10,500)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000...though after our luck in Bonus Land, we really should've introduced the silver space right now. There's only so much we can do.
Milt solves GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
Now, what's gonna go wrong in this round? Let's not think about that, and let's just cash in with the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces. A $10,000 Friday Jackpot could make it better!
Mike solves I'LL HAVE TO CHECK MY NOTES.
We didn't need to check. We know that this is the part where we add the $5,000 space to the Wheel.
Kim solves WINTER SQUASH. It's finally time to cool down.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:

Quickly and slowly, he picks CDGI...
...only to strike out again?
He talks it out and guesses PARTRIDGE, but he does not solve BATHROBE. He says he doesn't have one and doesn't need to cover it all up anyway, which is more than the audience needed to know.
However, we do have to cover up the Jeep Cherokee. Mike leaves with a total of $20,600.
In the post-game, Vanna says she can't believe that 1997 is almost over. Pat says that the year was a blur. Vanna agrees, and she knows they're not alone.
