Season 40, Episode #7759
Airdate: March 23, 2023
From the Sony Studios, it's America's Game! More Hawaii Week coming up!
Go!
Nathan solves GLORIOUS SUNSETS.
Playing before the sunset:
Nathan Benson: From Plano, TX; grad student studying accounting, and also a barista; he has something in his pocket...a Rubik's cube, and he solves it during his interview! He even has a Texas state record for solving them blindfolded! (Using his time, Pat would still be trying to get it out of his pocket.)
Sarah Green: From Nashville, TN; just celebrated an anniversary with her boyfriend Anthony, and he has two kids that she gets to call "bonus kids"; Sarah also likes to go to farms, and her favorite animal is a llama, and in her down times, she visits local farms to get local ideas so she can start her own.
Grace Pak: From Seattle, WA; finance manager at a fintech company; she's been with her partner for 3 years and they're getting married this year, and he also has a little pup; she's also a reality TV person, and her job can get pretty stressful at times, so "there's no better way to unwind than watching a lot of mindless reality TV", and she watches one pretty much every night.
Go!
Sarah solves MAGICAL MOMENTS.
Wheel Prize: Trip to Hawaii (labeled HAWAII), and wouldn't it be a magical moment when it's won!
Gift Tag (Maui Jim), Wild Card, and Million Dollar Wedge on Wheel
Top dollar value: $2,500
Grace solves FAN-FAVORITE TELEVISION SHOW LOST. We haven't lost Jim yet! He reminds Grace she's won a trip to the Garden Isle and stay at Ko'a Kea Resort on Po'ipu Beach Kauai worth $11,000!
$10,000 Mystery Round
Top dollar value: $3,500
Sarah solves BORN TO BE WILD CHICKENS.
Express Round (Trip Puzzle!)
Top dollar value: $3,500
Perfection! Nathan solves AN OASIS OF INDULGENCE and wins a trip to Puerto Rico and stay at Fairmont El San Juan Hotel worth $8,595.
Triple Toss-Up!
Go!
Nathan solves PULLED PORK.
Go!
Nathan also solves RED JELLY BEANS.
Go!
Nathan solves PORK AND BEANS, so give him his $10,000!
DING DING! DING DING!
Aw, beans. We're out of time, so Nathan must give the last spin of the day.
Final Spin: $700
+$1,000 = $1,700
Nathan: N (x2) ($3,400)
Sarah: G ($1,700)
Grace: T ($1,700)
Nathan: R ($5,100)
Sarah: L ($3,400)
Grace: S ($3,400)
Nathan: H ($6,800) ("Can you move it along?")
Nathan can, as he solves ADDING A PERSONAL TOUCH.
Not just a slow Speed-Up, but Grace had to wait too long to even use the Wild Card.
Nathan could have a personal favorite of these three Bonus Round categories:
PERSON
PLACES
PHRASE
Nathan picks Person.
$100,000 BONUS ROUND
Bonus Spin: E in GAME
RSTLNE gives him:
DBCO isn't too much better.
He gets JUDGE, but nothing for the first word. When the QU- is revealed, he realizes it's QUALIFIED JUDGE...
...and he couldn't qualify to win the Ford (though he doesn't like the red color anyway). Nathan still had a good game winning $29,945 in cash and trip.

In the final segment, Pat and Vanna remind us we're saluting Hawaii this week, but over the years, the show has taped a total of 70 episodes in Hawaii itself! The islands hold a special place in their heart, and we get to watch a montage of Wheel in Hawaii, including the classic introduction from Charlie O'Donnell. Everyone did some fun stuff on the islands...but Pat might need to check the fine print in his contract sometime.
