Today's contestants:
Kathy Wall: Former school teacher; from Madison, WI
Ken Ramsay (returning with a 1-day total of $7,050)
Sharon Votaw: Accountant for a computer technology manufacturer, from Lexington, KY
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Perfection! Kathy solves PRESIDENT BORIS YELTSIN.
Sharon solves YOU HAD TO GO AND OPEN YOUR BIG MOUTH. "People say that to me a lot!"
Let's try and make up for all those small spins. There's more money on the Wheel including a $3,500 space!
Kathy's not going to fall behind. She could try for an even better prize, which is a 1-week holiday in Montréal for the city's 350th anniversary (labeled MONTREAL) worth $5,648.
Perfection! Kathy solves WAITING IN THE WINGS.
Kathy solves MUD WRESTLERS.
DING DING! DING DING!
But this will have to be a quick one. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $550 a piece. Sharon starts.
Sharon: T (DUD!)
Kathy: S (DUD!)
Ken: R (DUD!)
Sharon: N (x2) ($1,100)
Kathy: D (x2) ($1,100)
Ken: M (DUD!)
Sharon: L ($1,650)
Sharon says LONE-HANDED.

Kathy says LONG-HANDED before she solves LONG-WINDED.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
From Hollywood, it's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $181,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Pat plugs the Watch and Win sweepstakes one more time, and some of the winners have been determined.
