Cindy solves WHAT'S THE SCOOP?.
What's up with these contestants?
Cindy Popovich: Customer service representative, from Lorain, OH
Telena Colter: Clerical supervisor, from Oakland, CA
Derek Basil: Personal banker fresh out of college, also runs a youth and government program; from Plymouth, CT
Go!
Cindy solves DINNER RESERVATIONS.
Has she reserved the $10,000 prize for herself? It's almost impossible to get in.
Perfection! Cindy solves VICTORIAN-STYLE LOVE SEAT.
Telena solves TOM HANKS & RITA WILSON.
We already have the Mystery Round, so Derek doesn't need a second mystery from a bad vowel. Anyway, one of two spaces has a BANKRUPT, and the other has a Bloomingdale's gift certificate worth $10,000.
Telena recovers to solve ESPRESSO BAR OF SOAP for the cash!
Go!
Derek solves TANNING BOOTH.
We'll reflect some sunlight off the $5,000 space so that Derek can get a quick tan as he cashes in.
No slip-ups here as Cindy solves SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION to take back the lead!
DING DING! DING DING!
She had her chance, but Pat will now give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $400 + $1,000 for $1,400 a piece.

Think of how long the other two could've spent in some comfy seats. Either way, it's time to get up and pick up a holiday at Merv's Beverly Hilton and trip to the Thibiant Day Spa (labeled LUXURY) worth $7,260.
Cindy couldn't do any better in that last round, but Telena can do better than a bare minimum Jackpot value.

Telena accidentally calls S a second time without spinning, and since we heard a consonant, it is eventually ruled as a lost turn. Telena wanted to buy a vowel, but we already heard a letter.

BONUS ROUND:
We're recording Cindy so that we can capture her best reaction in Bonus Land. She's going to try for one of...
Lexus SUV
Audi A4 convertible (over $46,000)
Audi A4 convertible (over $46,000)
Scoop up some cash ($25,000-$50,000)
Or score a record win! ($100,000!)
Or score a record win! ($100,000!)
She has her husband, daughter, and son-in-law in the audience!
She'll save the reaction for later, and right now, she'll give the Bonus Wheel a spin. We take the envelope from the 100's digit, and she's getting this puzzle from us:

She thinks DMPA are good...
...and that's not a wax figure. Vanna's really stuck. Vanna waves after Pat makes sure. 
Cindy can't think of anything, and she does not solve OSHKOSH...
...and "b'gosh", we couldn't give her an Audi A4 convertible. She might have to buy her own one with $31,500 in cash!
In the post-game chat, Pat noticed that the money was flowing tonight. Pat and Vanna both look good!
