Go!
Shirley solves I CAN DREAM CAN'T I?.
The first to dream big:
Shirley Aurum: Long-time school teacher for 35 years in Chicago, now a director of music at her United Methodist church; from Hazel Crest
Sean Williams: In the Navy, a "Sailor of the Year" who (for lack of a better term) is a Chief of Police for his command base and runs security and stuff; from Great Lakes
Maggie Olsen: Student at Columbia College studying fashion business; from Seneca
Go!
Shirley rings in too early and says A TICKET TAKER. The problem is... she's right!
She might also surprise herself with a good first spin!
Sean solves THE BLUES BROTHERS.
Shirley solves AWARD-WINNING RESTAURANT.
Go!
Sean solves THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. Of course, a military man would solve it.
Of course, he's had enough experience with the Wheel that a $5,000 spin should come naturally.
DING DING! DING DING!
Now it's too late for that. We ask Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth $300 + $1,000 for $1,300 a piece.
Sean: P (x2) ($3,900)
Maggie: N ($1,300)
Shirley: S ($1,300)
Sean: O (x2) ($3,900)
Maggie: K ($2,600)
Shirley: L ($2,600)
Shirley solves TROPICAL FISH TANK TOP.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
From Navy Pier in Chicago, it's America's game!
Would Pat personally offer you this Toss-Up money out of his own pocket?

Shirley rings in too early and says A TICKET TAKER. The problem is... she's right!
Pat: One of the more unimpressive solves we've ever had, Shirley, but it was still- you know, you figured "I gotta say something", I'll say TICKET TAKER.

These kinds of rounds also give us time to prepare copy for a prize. Next on our list, it's a Yahoo! Travel trip to Maui (labeled YAHOO! TRAVEL) worth $4,000.

You just know trouble's coming when your first letter is after the Final Spin. Maggie had to face that, and now she faces the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
The military man is setting sail for Bonus Land for one of Chicago's bonus prizes! One spin could score him:
"The cash" ($25,000)
Mercedes C240
Toyota Sequoia
"Award-winning" cash! ($100,000!)
"Award-winning" cash! ($100,000!)
Now for that spin, though thankfully not one that lasts forever. Sean lands on the blue space, and he'll think about this puzzle:

In the post-game chat, Vanna knows that Chicago is where Pat was born and raised. "Thank you very much. It was nothing!" He left in 1968, but the other day, he actually went out and hunted down the old "Sajak house". We get a video of what has happened since. It's fun to go back in time!
