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

Today's contestants:
Gary Perez (returning with a 1-day total of $7,195)
Kristin Wilda: Preschool teacher and, like Gary, also enjoys acting; from Smithfield, VA

Perfection! Gary solves AN AUDIENCE WITH THE POPE.

Gary	Kristin	Arun
$2,800

Gather around as we find out about a prize! It's a bronze American eagle sculpture titled North by Northwest (labeled BRONZE) worth $4,000.

Kristin now has a chance to take flight, and she's probably aiming for the $2,500 space.

"And by the way, those of you who stand in that line with 14 or 15 items, and you know who you are...if you don't suffer in this life, you will certainly suffer for eternity. I want you to know."

Gary	Kristin	Arun (FS)
$2,800		$9,050

Lucky Arun, saving his Free Spin! Now with a $3,500 space and $10,000 prize, he might be glad that he did.

Round 3

$4,800	$1,500	$3,050

WHO IS IT?

Arun reads what's on the board, and he can sprinkle $500 more on top of his winnings if he knows who the puzzle is talking about.

He has no idea. Of course, Pat gives him the full time before moving to Gary...

...who has the answer. It's Sonny Bono.

Gary	Kristin	Arun (FS)
$3,300		$12,100

Arun scored some bronze, and he's looking to finish with a gold medal...but let's not forget the silver, the $5,000 space!

Just another game where you wonder if the Free Spin would've helped at all...

BONUS ROUND:

Kristin has been surprised! She's in Bonus Land to play for a nice prize. We have a piano, a trip to Asia, pearls, an Infiniti, and the $25,000.

From the envelopes, she reaches for the W. We have this puzzle for her:

In the post-game, Pat brings up the haircut discussion. Vanna's starting to follow through, and she found a company called "New Looks on Video" in San Diego. They took some photos of her with different hairstyles, and Pat and the audience think about what would look good.
