From the Fox Theater in Atlanta, it's America's game! It's an early Olympic Games Week!
Our last trio before Friday:
Olivia Adams: Legal secretary, from Chicago, IL
Lucas Nicolettas: Senior at Old Dominion University in Norfolk currently majoring in engineering, currently working for a firm in Williamsburg, VA; from Gaithersburg, MD
A.G. Strickland (male): Retired trainer for salesmen, managers, commanders, and all kinds of people like that, and also recently published a book called Best Time I Ever Had was at Uncle Ben's Funeral; from Marietta
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Olivia solves DELIRIOUSLY HAPPY.
Isn't this kinda like yesterday? Again, good things can happen, and A.G. is the first to try and hit the $5,000 space!
A.G. calls a T before the Wheel comes to a full stop, as he almost hit a "skinny" BANKRUPT.
Pat also says $800 instead of $500 for Lucas' second spin, but catches himself.
Lucas guesses TRAINING FOR THE U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM. The audience cheers, but Pat says it's not correct.
A.G. solves QUALIFYING FOR THE U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM. Sadly, it's too late for him to qualify for the finals.
BONUS ROUND:
Lucas needs a bit more if he wants to qualify for Friday. We still have an Explorer, a sailboat, and a savings bond.
RSTLNE gives him:

And wouldn't you be happy to win a prize? We'll add an enamel-on-wood cutout called Mr Coke (labeled ART) worth $1,500.
Best time you'll ever have is if you score enough from the $3,500 space (and maybe the $10,000 prize) so that you make it to the Friday Finals.

A bad time for A.G. to look at the wrong arrow. He hit $250 but was looking at the yellow arrow on $5,000. Pat walks up to the blue spot to clear things up.

He whispers to himself, but he does not solve FABRIC...
