Jacqueline Williams (returning with a 1-day total of $4,000)
Joe Hibbert: Firefighter, from Decatur, IL

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Robyn solves SMACK YOUR LIPS.
Okay, after that puzzle, we might let someone kiss the $3,500 space just once if they can call a good letter when the puzzle is categorized as...
Big Money comes in a few colors as well, and here comes the silver $5,000 space! Pat can't be sure if you'll care about a RUG.
Joe solves SHORT DRIVE TO WORK, and in that short time, he takes the lead and a gold/diamond watch!
DING DING! DING DING!
And then we're short on time ourselves, meaning Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $550 a piece. Joe will begin.
Joe: S ($550)
Robyn: R ($550)
Jacqueline: T (DUD!)
Joe: L (DUD!)
Robyn: N ($1,100)
Robyn is quiet...but suddenly solves VISIONARY.

The only one whose lips should be making any noise right now is Charlie, because we have a Croton 14-karat gold man's panther link bracelet watch with 0.5-karat diamond bezel and 11 diamonds (labeled WATCH) worth $5,200.
It's no surprise that with a bigger puzzle, Joe could score a lot of money with a $2,500 spin.
