From the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, it's America's game! College Week is coming to a close...
Today's finalists:
Chris Manning (returning with a total of $42,687)
Jordan Spectre (returning with a total of $15,299)
Jenny Lindburg (returning with a total of $40,000)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash (we still have some left), and here's our first puzzle:
Perfection! Chris reads what's on the board, and he surprises himself...by winning an RCA 52-inch Slim-Line projection TV, plus 150-channel digital satellite system worth $4,698.
Jenny solves ONE-YEAR MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION.
These rounds have been running a bit long, so Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece. Chris will start.
Chris: S (x2) ($1,000)
Jordan: T (x4) ($2,000)
Jenny: N ($500)
Chris: D (x3) ($2,500)
Jordan: R (x2) ($3,000)
Jenny: J ($1,000)
Jenny says JUST ADD WATER AND STIR but forgets the third word.
Chris just solves JUST ADD HOT WATER AND STIR without calling a letter.

We have one last Wheel prize before our Seattle subscription expires: a Contiki Holidays 20-day ski tour in the Alps (labeled ALPS) worth $5,330.
Jenny's in a better spot compared to her last game, but there's no harm in trying for the $3,500 space. Is she brave enough to go for the $10,000 prize?

Chris says ELIS'S MEMPHIS MANSION, likely reading "Elis's" as one name.
Jordan solves ELVIS'S MEMPHIS MANSION to keep the holiday. He can also take a $500 bonus if he answers the clue.
And Graceland is correct!

BONUS ROUND:
Chris made it to the final puzzle! He has $54,885 and wants one more prize! We still have a speedboat, a round-the-world trip, and an annuity.
Chris's final envelope will be the middle E (and someone groans). Pat says to the audience, "Are you happy with that choice?"
His puzzle is over here:

He says RIDING CARS, but he does not solve RIDING HIGH...
...so we can't give him half of a trip around the world, and he was hoping for the whole trip. Chris still leaves with $54,885 in total!
In the post-game, Pat thanks Seattle for two great weeks.
