From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Victoria Weaver (returning with a 1-day total of $39,800)
Roland Phillip: Grade 4 school teacher (originally from Trinidad in the West Indies)
Henry Dickson: Chicken restaurant owner, and it's part of a chain in major malls across the country; from Orlando, FL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Victoria solves KICKED THE HABIT.
Victoria solves GLEN CAMPBELL'S RHINESTONE COWBOY.
Is Henry a chicken himself, or will he keep going until (or even after) he hits the $5,000 space?
Victoria solves EMBOSSED WEDDING INVITATION.
We emboss another puzzle onto the board, and we invite Victoria to spin again.
DING DING! DING DING!
At least that last spin wasn't Roland's. Speaking of last spin, Pat will now get his turn at the Wheel, and consonants will be worth... $250 a piece.
Victoria: H (DUD!)
Roland: R (x2) ($16,850)
Roland was trying to say something like SELESTISHER, but whatever it was, it's not correct.
Henry: L (DUD!)
Victoria: M (DUD!)
Roland: H (Repeat)
Henry: J (DUD!)
Victoria solves SPECTATOR SPORT for the house minimum, but that makes it a main game sweep!
The final goal belongs to Victoria. Roland made it interesting with that triple, but now he and Henry are both taking home the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
They stand in front of the Wheel, but the colors correspond to where they'd be at the Wheel itself. Really, the diamond backdrops behind them are enough.

$2,150 |
We'll make sure Victoria can kick the habit of spinning early while the Wheel gets a trip to Hawaii for the last total solar eclipse of the century on the Big Island (labeled HAWAII) worth $2,890.
Has Roland caught on to the habit? We can't blame him if he thought to hit the $3,500 space before the round starts.

We'll never kick the habit of adding prizes to the Wheel, so you'll be getting a Lucien Piccard 2-karat diamond and 14-karat gold lady's watch (labeled WATCH) worth $7,390.
