Miles Bolen: Once overcame his fear of heights by going skydiving! He has a team supporting him, just behind the Deeks!
Kathryn Stewart: Newly married for a month and is a gourmet cook

The top dollar-value on the Wheel is now 1,000.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is up to 2,000!
RRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!
We're short on both cash and time. Rob will give the Wheel a Spin, and consonants are worth 540.
Tania: M (DUD!)
BONUS ROUND:
We add 1,380 to her previous 2,355 for 3,735, but Tania stays at three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Another puzzle is ready!
She says "the something of the something", but she does not solve THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Tania is stuck at $2,600 in prizes, but she'll play again!

Tania solves AS STUBBORN AS A MULE.
We're sticking to these prizes for our first round, so Tania will have to stick to an Encyclopedia of Visual Arts collection, a G.P.I foldaway treadmill, or a G.A.F. and Tiffany appliance collection.
Tania's happy with a treadmill.
