From Hollywood, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Howard Lockhart (returning with a 2-day total of $64,633)
Michael Van Hook: Paramedic instructor in Greater Hillsborough County, from Riverview, FL
Janice Braggins: Single mother who also works at a purchasing department for a major corporation, from Chicago, IL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Michael solves SOUTH OF THE BORDER PATROL.
Howard solves EVERYTHING'S GOING TO PAN OUT. The secret's out, as Howard's SURPRISE is a pair of Daniel Mink his-and-hers watches worth $2,245.
We'd like this round to pan out much better for Janice, whether she pulls it off with a $3,500 spin or a $10,000 win. You bet it can be both!
Janice says ? THUMB ? LEAVE VEGETABLES ? WITH ENVY.
We envy those who had a lot more time than we do now. It's that moment where Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece. Howard starts.
Howard: N ($1,500)
Michael: S (x3) ($4,500)
Janice: T (x3) ($4,500)
Janice solves JUST A STONE'S THROW AWAY, though she needed the silver space to reach Michael.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
CGPO is shaping up to be a win.

Maybe we smuggled this in, but nobody can ever prove it. We found a Nan Rae flower artwork exhibited at the Paris Grand Palais (labeled ART) worth $4,000.
We still have some time to kill, so why not spend that time with the $2,500 space and take some spending money?

BONUS ROUND:
A good prize is just a stone's throw away for Michael, isn't it? Just try not to literally throw that stone at the bangle, the shopping spree set, or the $25,000 sign. 
We throw to commercial, and after they throw back to us, Michael will take the W. Let's throw to Vanna!

He instantly solves CLOWN. Let's quit clowning around...

In the post-game chat, Pat admits he gets all festive on Groundhog's Day. The other thing that happens this month is Vanna's Birthday on the 18th. She's one of the women in the world who will discuss her age, and she's going to be 38! Vanna asks Pat's age, and he just says that Vanna's age doesn't sound that old at all. Pat says he's...older than 38. That's the important thing.
