Go!
David solves A TRIPLE PLAY.
Three players trying for their own home run:
David Tassinari: Retired with 6 sons and 9 grandkids (the 4th grandchild counts as his first girl), from Van Nuys, CA (since 1954)
Anthony Parrulli: Fittingly for his position, a member of the Blue Man Group for 3 years (but his skin's not blue right now), from Las Vegas, NV (originally from Oldsmar, FL)
Carolina Sanchez: Engaged and to be married next year, works for a major news agency in Atlanta, GA (but has lived all around the world)
Go!
Carolina solves THE MUFFIN MAN.
Around and around, Carolina must start spinning that Wheel!
Anthony solves NATALIE AND NAT KING COLE. The way he pointed, Pat can tell that Anthony works in Vegas.
Anthony solves IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
Go!
Carolina solves A SENSE OF HUMOR.
We'd have to have a sick sense of humor to trade out the $5,000 space for something smaller.
DING DING! DING DING!
Whoops! We're looking at the clock, and it's time for Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $800 + $1,000 for $1,800 a piece.
Anthony: H (x2) ($4,000)
Carolina: R (DUD!)
David: J (DUD!)
Anthony: M (Repeat)
Carolina: P (DUD!)
David: D ($2,400)
Anthony: B (DUD!)
Carolina: L (x2) ($3,600)
Carolina solves THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN.

In the post-game chat, Pat remembers a few years ago when he was honored with a Star on the Walk of Fame. It was a nice little ceremony. He hadn't seen it since, so he took the kids to the area last year. It turns out the star has a movie camera on it, so his star is misprinted. "It's kind of valuable! It's like a Buffalo Nickel with a ferret on it, or something. You know what I mean? I think it's worth more."
