From Hollywood, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Douglas Sepp: Just graduated from UCLA and trying to win money on game shows, studied sociology and wants to teach someday; originally from San Francisco
Jocelyn Stevens (returning with a 1-day total of $7,431)
Liza Malley: Part-time car hop and full-time mother of two, from Hot Springs, AR
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Perfection! Jocelyn solves NEW YEAR'S EVE CELEBRATION.
Liza didn't have to wait until the new year to actually spin that darn thing. Her time is now, and it's also time for the $3,500 and one-third $10,000 spaces!
Jocelyn solves HUMAN INTEREST STORY.
Douglas is only human, so we can't fault him if it's challenging to hit the $5,000 space. He can still try, though he might land on a PIANO instead.
Liza solves THE TALK OF THE TOWN. They'll be talking about her new Samick grand piano worth $8,642!
DING DING! DING DING!
No more of that tiny trouble. We'll just ask Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $400 a piece.
Douglas: C (DUD!)
Jocelyn: P (DUD!)
Liza: B ($400)
Douglas: M ($2,100)
Douglas says WILLIAMSBORO, but nothing for the bottom.
Jocelyn: V ($400)
Jocelyn solves WILLIAMSBURG VIRGINIA.

Jocelyn solves ? HAIR ? LIGHT ? CARPET ? CROSS. For her two days, two out of three wouldn't be bad for bonuses. We'll give her $500 if she can fill in the blank!
Or she can just stay silent. Liza gets a shot at it.
She also has no clue. "Actually, you have four of them." 
Douglas could recover some of that money, but cleaner makes it a triple stumper! It's actually Red.

$2,900 |
And that's Charlie's green light to start reading stuff, like the details about a Cuthbertson original Christmas Tree earthenware set, plus Oneida crystalware (labeled DINE) worth $1,457.
And this puzzle is Jocelyn's green light to spin that $2,500 space!

We have to play a sad tune for Douglas, who barely had any chances at all. He must take home the nice parting gifts.
"Did they have to write the zero like that?"

Trip to Tucson and new Saab Turbo convertible (over $42,000)
Trip to Australia ($23,000)
Caribbean Cruise ...that Pat wouldn't let Charlie read about ($16,000)
Trip to Ixtapa and Trans Sport minivan ...and now it's Charlie's turn (over $24,000)
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)
