The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Double perfection! Tim solves TRAVELER'S CHECKS. Our home audience will now check out these letters:
Just so we don't have to check out Pat's beet red face, he'll give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece. Speaking of red, Scott will start.

You'd better grab this prize before it gets swept away! It's a Fred Joaillier gift certificate featuring a 18-karat gold and diamond panther pin (labeled JEWELRY) worth $5,900.
We should just give you the vowels for free after that last puzzle, but with a $2,500 space on the Wheel, maybe you won't care about the cost.

Perfection! Charlene solves PINK TROPICAL BIRD WEB-FOOTED LONG-LEGGED. That's a much better total, and we'll add a $500 bonus if she answers the clue.
An easy enough clue as she answers flamingo.
To match that flamingo, Charlene picks up her SURPRISE wedge...and she has won a trip to Grand Cayman and stay at The Beach Club Hotel & Dive Resort worth $6,666!

Charlene solves FOOLPROOF FORMULA...though there's a 5-second pause before her solve is verified.
Scott | Charlene | Tim |
| $17,066 | $3,100 |
Our formula didn't work entirely as expected this time. Scott's empty-handed, and he's going home with some nice parting gifts.
Tim leaves with a 2-day total of $12,198.
BONUS ROUND:
What will Charlene's formula be for winning a bonus prize here? We have cars, an annuity, and the $25,000!
The formula needs an envelope, so Charlene will take the L. We need a puzzle to test it out.

...and the result is an annuity from RBP, the 6-year Patriotic "Red, White & You" that matures to $20,000! Charlene already has $37,066 in cash and prizes, and she's returning tomorrow!
Pat's disappointed that he and Vanna are not eligible for the Sweepstakes.
