From Hollywood, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Patrick Little: Recent graduate who's substitute teaching and then going to grad school in the fall, from Humble, TX
Russ Bingham: Sales manager for the largest waste management/recycling firm in the Southwest, from Fort Smith, AR
Kathleen Spring (returning with a 1-day total of $31,999)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Kathleen solves NATIVE NEW YORKERS.
Patrick solves MY MIND'S A TOTAL BLANK CHECK.
Kathleen already blanked in yesterday's Bonus Round. Did she get it out of the way, or is she going to blank a second time on the $3,500 or one-third $10,000 space?
No mere moon orbiting the planet Kathleen, Patrick can escape with the help of a $5,000 spin. Or...we could watch as our three stooges Pat, Patrick, and Russ fight over a CAMPER space. Kathleen could just sit and watch.
Double perfection! Patrick solves GOING OUT OF BUSINESS SALE.
DING DING! DING DING!
So we can only light up the obvious before Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $300 a piece.
Kathleen: C ($850)
Patrick: L ($300)
Russ: D (DUD!)
Kathleen: R ($1,150)
Kathleen thinks it's PEPPER CHILIS. It fits the board, but it's not the answer.
Patrick: N (DUD!)
Russ: P ($300)
Kathleen: B ($1,450)
Patrick: M ($600)
Patrick solves JUMPER CABLES.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her...

She just won't quit, so Russ just can't quit! This Round 2 could be like yesterday, except with Russ winning a Rosenthal Studio artists' espresso cup set with Delonghi espresso/cappuccino maker (labeled ESPRESSO) worth $1,683.
And while he has his turn, Russ needs to find a good letter on the $2,500 space.

Major perfection! Kathleen solves FIRST AMERICAN TO ORBIT THE EARTH for another huge cash total! Now her mind can blank on the $500 bonus you get for answering the clue.

Never mind. She knows it's John Glenn.
Pat: Now, don't write. He was not the first American is space. First American in space was Alan Shepard, but he didn't orbit. And the first person in space was Yuri Gagarin from the Soviet Union. And the first Three Stooges movie was "The Stooges Go West".

Russ seems to have run out of energy. Our final offering is not gonna jump start him, but he's getting some nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
Kathleen is still having a great time here, and today's game bumped her up to $49,349 in cash and prizes! Now to win the country/castle trips, the cars, or the GM Mastercard.
Still full of energy, Kathleen will pick an envelope and hopefully solve another puzzle:

She didn't need much, as she instantly solves GIVE AND TAKE, so even with the mess-up...
...she can still take the Castles & Country holiday in England, Scotland, and Ireland worth $19,000! Kathleen is bumped up again to $68,349 in cash and prizes and plays one more game!
In the post-game chat, Vanna comments that she has never seen Pat make that mistake before. "It's cold. These tiny time pills are exploding in my brain, and I don't know what I'm doing!" As for Vanna, she's wearing lovely stuff this week, including a flower on her right side that Pat thinks could squirt water. He's a sick man.
