From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
John Keshika (?): Customer service representative for an international distribution company; from Los Angeles, CA (originally from Long Island, NY)
Dan Gertmenian (returning with a 1-day total of $40,261)
Mia Rodriguez: Homemaker and mother of two, fromPanama Panorama City, CA
Dan solves ULTRAVIOLET RAYS.
This would be a nice recovery for Mia. She's the first to try for the $3,500 or one-third $10,000 spaces tonight!
This is no kryptonite. The $5,000 space can only do you good. Perhaps a GRAND CAYMAN Islands trip would be nice?
DING DING! DING DING!
Time is our one weakness. Pat now has to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Actually, maybe it was worth it.
John: N (DUD!)
Dan: R (x2) ($10,000)
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
DGCA only provides one letter.

Perfection! John solves MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH NOT IN YOUR HAND. Remember the new category! He can score a $1,000 bonus if he knows whose slogan it is.
He completes it with an answer of M&M's. John knows he's not supposed to plug, but this is an exception.

We add a prize to our even more colorful Wheel: a Magnavox large screen TV plus CD-i video game system (labeled VIDEO) worth $2,700.
No plugs or raises. You'll have to earn that money by spinning, and you may even hit the $2,500 space.

John twists his tongue, but then he solves MORE POWERFUL THAN A LOCOMOTIVE. He'll need to be careful when trying for the $500 bonus. Can he give us the next line?
He says able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, which is not accepted. We'll try Dan.
His guess is leaping tall buildings in a single bound, which is incorrect. What about Mia?
She's just silent for a triple stumper. The line is able to leap tall buildings AT a single bound. Pat then continues to recite.

Mia didn't get too many chances, so now she'll be taking home the nice parting gifts.
The Free Spin didn't get too many chances, either.

He guesses PITCHER and maybe a zillion other guesses (including one that should've been bleeped). He figures out BUTCHER a few seconds too late...
...and he was so close to the van, but he already won a car. Dan still has $50,961 and one more show. Should Pat be worried?
