From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Krista Berman (returning with a 1-day total of $48,920)
Rick Davis: Makes signs and promotional items for apartments; from Dallas, TX

Charlie Furcell: In the promotions business as a classic rock radio station in Phoenix; from Scottsdale, AZ

Charlie does promotions for the "whole gamut" of things, from baby races to "fairly simple ones". Pat asks what else he really covers, and Charlie starts laughing. Announcer Charlie also cracks up. Do you think it's easy hosting the show?!

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Krista solves ? YANKEES ? METS ? JETS. She wants some more money, and she can score $500 more by filling in the blank.

She scores with a guess of New York.

Well, Charlie couldn't score in the last round, but he has another opportunity here with the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces.

Krista	Rick	Charlie

		$400: C (x2) $5,000: K (x3!) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,000+	$5,000	$15,800

The "only vowels remain" beeps do not sound.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives him:

THING

CMBA are "swell" choices...

...but they can't be found in this one.

He thinks SOULMATE and SAILBOAT, but he does not solve SKYLIGHT...

...so he can't claim the Orient cruise. Charlie still has $15,800 and is coming back.

In the post-game, Vanna says never to give up after Charlie's main-game win.
