Yesterday's crossed off, and we move to a new day of Wheel prizes. Let's start our day with a trip to Mexico and stay at the Krystal Hotel (labeled IXTAPA) worth $2,220.
Needless to say, some cash from the $2,500 space will satisfy us on any day of the year.

Marty almost spins again, but then he decides to solve ? CRACKERS ? MAGNETISM ? KINGDOM. Is that enough for the lead? If not, then a $500 bonus from filling in the blank should help.
He needs a good prize, because Soda is incorrect. Things calm down as Bob will make a guess.
He boosts his own score with the correct answer of Animal.
But things are about to get loud again, because Marty has the SURPRISE...a Da Vinci crystal stemware collection worth $1,099. "Now, don't break it!" (The value was added before the prize was read.)

It wasn't going to feel like Christmas for Tiffany when she had a tough opponent beside her. She now goes home with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
How about an extra present for Bob? $35,050 is not where he stops! He takes another trip to Bonus Land, and he can take a boat, a watch, or the $25,000.
We'll unwrap one of the envelopes after the answer to the puzzle is revealed. That envelope is the H, and Vanna is ready.

He thinks TIRE RUBBER, and does not solve FOAM RUBBER...
...and he knew we couldn't give him half of a diamond watch. Bob stays at $35,050 in cash and prizes, and there's one more day to go.
In the post-game chat, Pat says to Vanna in a gentlemanly way. Vanna had a child a short time ago, and she has bounced back nicely. She's happy with her progress, and this is the first week that she's finally back into her own clothes again. She would borrow them from someone else. However, she admits she's 5 pounds heavier, and her weight may have been redistributed in different areas.
