Today's contestants (all male):
Reggie Wilson: Warehouse manager; from Moreno Valley, CA
Michael Guyer: Chief Warrant Officer for the US Army, also a helicopter pilot; from Newport News, VA
Dan Gertmenian (returning with a 2-day total of $50,961)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Michael solves KELSEY GRAMMER.
Perfection! Michael solves SALMON LOAF AROUND THE HOUSE.
No more loafing around for Dan. He needs to catch up, and the $3,500 or one-third $10,000 spaces could push him ahead.
Michael solves NOW JOINING US VIA SATELLITE.
Reggie might not want to loaf round, either. We've improved the Wheel once again with a $5,000 space and a $6,700+ CRUISE.
DING DING! DING DING!
Since we have even less time than expected, Pat will now give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $800 a piece.

Dan leaves with the $50,961 he won earlier.
BONUS ROUND:
That was an unusual ending, but Michael can forget about that and think of the bonus prizes. There are two Volvos, a trip, a diamond watch, and the $25,000.
Five more fresh envelopes, and Michael will pick the H. This is his final puzzle:
