From Hollywood, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Diane Baycos (returning with a 1-day total of $9,450)
Carolyn Genari: High school guidance counsellor, from White Plains, NY
Michael Forrest: Actor and singer in the D.C. area, from Silver Spring, MD
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Diane solves BUTCHER BLOCK THAT KICK.
Perfection! Carolyn solves SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT.
Michael couldn't get listen to our "surprise announcement" earlier, but maybe in this round? How about if we also throw in some cash from the near-matching $3,500 space?
Diane solves DOWN BUT NOT OUT TO LUNCH.
Diane's not down, and she's certainly not out when we've got a $5,000 space and a Caribbean/Amazon CRUISE on the Wheel!
Michael solves ROBERT WAGNER & JILL ST JOHN.
DING DING! DING DING!
We don't know how much we'll make up, because Pat's giving the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $550 a piece. Carolyn begins.
Carolyn: T (DUD!)
Michael: N ($550)
Diane: D ($550)
Carolyn: H (DUD!)
Michael: S ($1,100)
Diane: L (DUD!)
Carolyn: C ($550)
Michael: K ($1,650)
Michael solves QUICK AND EASY.

Nobody's blocking our path to the Wheel! They need a prize, so we've got a trip to Puerto Rico and stay at Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza Hotel & Casino (labeled PUERTO RICO) worth $3,447.
Pat: You know, when that light hits you at that angle, you're really very attractive.
Charlie (on-camera!): *laughs* Well, thank you, Pat!
Carolyn's ready to score that touchdown with the $2,500 space.

In the post-game chat, Pat thinks Vanna looks great in a red suit and pants. She lets everyone know that she'll be back in gowns as soon as she loses the rest of the baby weight. Pat says it just means adding a few more sequins. Maybe we'll bring the new baby to the show tomorrow?
