From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Sonia Barrow (returning with a 1-day total of $20,800)
Greg Geering: Works in loss prevention, and is an ordained minister; from Glendale, AZ
Sue Gordon: Full-time stay-at-home mother of two, from Elk Grove, IL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Sonia reads what's on the board.
Sonia solves COFFEE WITH CREAM & TWO SUGARS.
Here's something that might awaken Sue. She'll like some money from the $3,500 space, and she might even want the $10,000 prize!
We got a bit too relaxed. Time is short, so Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $300 a piece. Sonia begins.
Sonia: R ($300) (She tries to call an E after that, but it's ignored.)
Greg: S ($300)
Sue: T (x2) ($600)
Sonia: N (x4) ($1,500)
Greg: E (x3) ($300)
Sue: U ($600)
Sonia: G (x2) ($2,100)
Sonia solves SPINE-TINGLING ADVENTURE.

So...Greg did all the work. Maybe we can still reward him with a 1-week stay at Almond Beach Club Resorts in Barbados (labeled BARBADOS) worth $5,120.
You could achieve your own landslide victory if you keep hitting the $2,500 space.

This adventure didn't go as well for Sue, who will be taking home the nice parting gifts.
The Free Spin winds up at a dead end.
BONUS ROUND:
Greg is taking the trip to Bonus Land! We still have a Volvo, the Scandinavian trip, and the $25,000.
He's taking the W, and now to take a little time with this puzzle:

After picking E last, we ask how far he can go with BDCA...
...and he won't be going anywhere.
He has a few gibberish guesses, but he does not solve TRILOGY...
...which means he won't find the $25,000. Greg finishes with $6,050, but he's coming back tomorrow.
Vanna has noticed that the $10,000 space has been landed on every day so far this week. Will someone hit it on Friday?
