From Sony Pictures Studio, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Doreen Parker: Antique toy importer, from Sherman Oaks, CA
Carl Davis (returning with a 1-day total of $3,400)
Bill Strasser: Retired father of three and grandfather of six, married for about 36 years; from New York
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Let's pretend it's "perfection". Doreen solves THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE AND HARRIET...and she's surprised to win a trip to Malaysia and stay at Shangri-La Hotel in Penang worth $6,300.
Bill solves TIFFANY STAINED-GLASS WINDOW.
Carl's not the only one who wants to catch up. Bill is thinking about the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces as he starts this round.
You'll be tempted to kiss the $5,000 space, but as much as you love it, you don't know where it has been. Also, we're not sure where this BILOXI BAY wedge came from.
DING DING! DING DING!
Well, at least she did it once. Now it's time for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Once isn't enough, and it's anybody's game!
Doreen: R ($15,000)
Bill: G ($5,000)
Bill quickly solves GENERAL ADMISSION TICKET. Maybe he was a little too fast...
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:

This prize might be nice as well. It's a David Winter English countryside collection from John Hine Studios (labeled ART) worth $1,015.
We're sure Carl wants to look like a champion, so maybe he'll try and hit the $2,500 space to catch up to Doreen.

She's mostly silent, only whispering DILLEY and DALLEY. She does not solve DUPLEX (I should've called that X)...
...and for the second game in a row, no Saab Coupe. Doreen stays at $10,100, but she's coming back.
In the post-game chat, Pat notes it's been just a little while since Vanna has cut her hair. She's getting a good reaction from friends and family, and she's getting used to it. It's hard after 25 years of the same hairstyle to get something new...but it's fun!
