Over $97,000 just waiting to be won this week!
(The game appears to begin with a puzzle that is thrown out, with the layout below.)
Today's contestants:
Kevin Pomerleau: Student at San Diego State University and a bellman at a hotel, from San Diego, CA
Emily Koenig (returning with a 1-day total of $45,405)
Matt Joseph: Bar manager, from New York
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Matt reads what's on the board to put the first round out of its misery.
Perfection! Emily solves FIRST AID KIT AND CABOODLE. Pat thought it would take a little more time than that.
Let's give Matt a real shot at some big money. We have a $3,500 space on the Wheel, but is this puzzle any easier?
Kevin solves AT THE CROSSROADS OF LIFE.
Emily solves ANONYMOUS LETTER.
DING DING! DING DING!
And since we're almost out of time, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece!
Kevin: D (DUD!)
Emily: P (x2) ($11,800)
Emily solves POP SINGER to remain the champion!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
MDPA only gives her one consonant.

If it's going to be that hard to cash in, they'll need time for a break. We'll take that time to add a Haviland Golden Quail porcelain service for 12 (labeled CHINA) worth $5,662.
A smaller puzzle this time, but the $2,500 space could make up for the past few minutes.

Back to Kevin, and he will decide if a shot at the $5,000 space is worth saying "one more time"...
