S16, EPISODE #3028: NFL PLAYERS WEEK

Wednesday also has female civilians:

Kimberly Checkeye Henderson & Jerome "The Bus" Bettis: Kim's from Natrona Heights, PA (30min north of Pittsburgh) while Jerome's from the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Elizabeth Drummond & Wesley Walls: Elizabeth's from Charlotte, NC while Wesley's from the Carolina Panthers.
I no-lettered this one thanks to seeing that one on the Nintendo Switch video game today.
Kimberly IDs CHARLIE'S ANGELS. Now to get that lost money back and then some...
JACLYN SMITH is indeed one of those angels.
DUD: T (Connie/Darrell)
BANKRUPT: Kimberly/Jerome)
Connie's family has had season tickets to the Redskins since 1946; she's a hair salon owner who's married with 3 kids. Darrell's playing for the Youth Life Foundation and Learning Centers named after himself.
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: a $2,500 Foot Locker GC (marked SPORTS)
Looks like Wesley will have to do a VICTORY DANCE IN THE END ZONE because the $10,000 is won this time!
LOSE A TURN: Kimberly/Jerome
Kim's a legal secretary for a large law firm who enjoys dancing and aerobics. Jerome's playing for the Jerome Bettis Bus Stops Here Foundation.
The Bus also brings us to our first commercial break...
...and he also takes us out of commercial. Also, Kim's married to Russ.
2ND PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: VIP Norwegian Cruise Line to the Caribbean + meet & greets w/ 20 active of former NFL Players and first-class flights to and from Miami from Players Inc. (marked Cruise), $4,500
JACKPOT ROUND
PERFECTION! Elizabeth solves RUNNING BACK-SEAT DRIVER.
LEFT BEHIND IN POT: $7,550
Elizabeth's originally from the U.S. Virgin Islands, but now lives in Charlotte. She's an avid golfer, a real estate seller, and an owner of a company that does sales and motivational trainings nationally. Wesley's playing for the Alpha House in his home state of Mississippi and Youth Homes Inc. based in Charlotte.
Looking at the clock, Pat must give it a Final Spin at the top of this segment. And look at this - it's $5,000 a consonant!
Also no-lettered this one, too.
NO PAIN, NO GAIN - Connie's out of the gooseegg bench. Also, Elizabeth seemed to know the answer right after she got buzzed. Darn.
DUDS: S (Connie/Darrell), T (Kimberly/Jerome)
FINAL SCORES
WINNINGS SO FAR: $25,950
BANKRUPT TRASH: $2,450
BONUS ROUND
To date, they've raised $310K+ for charity doing these NFL weeks.
LETTER PICKED (Wesley): H
RSTLNE gives the final third:
CDMA puts 'em up to half...
Unfortunately, Elizabeth didn't think of the theme as she said PITCHER, JOCKEY and WORKER. That was a KICKER and no $25,000 once again.
FINAL TOTAL FOR ELIZABETH/WESLEY: $17,050 (all cash; eligible for Final)
OVERALL THOUHGTS: A better episode this time around, though I wish the Speed-Up could've gone a bit better. 7/10
