From Hollywood, It's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Steve Calandrillo: Senior at University of California Berkeley studying economics, wants to attend law school; he also does ping-pong and ultimatefrizzy frisbee tournaments
Kristie Bowman (returning with a 1-day total of $6,050)
Dana Tucker: Sales rep who sells software and hardware for a living, from Columbia, SC
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Kristie solves HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
Dana could imagine selling new hardware and software that slows the Wheel down at the $3,500 space for her, with one possible exception from a $10,000 spin. Maybe in the future, but today, she has to play fair.
Kristie solves IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. "You must be lot of fun in Vegas. Nah, I think I'll take my $3 and go home."
Late at night, do you know where the $5,000 space is? Probably just sitting on the Wheel so others can win while we're not looking. Late at night, a crew member was contemplating whether a LAS VEGAS trip should be awarded.
Perfection! Steve solves NEWSPAPER STAFF.
DING DING! DING DING!
Steve must now pass it to Pat so that he can give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Steve: C (x2) ($1,600)
Steve says PEACE CAR SIREN.
Kristie: L ($500)
Kristie solves POLICE CAR SIREN.
BONUS ROUND:
Steve can try to pick a prize right now, but he must follow the rules, so he'll take the second E from our envelopes and then look at this puzzle:

Charlie has no time for "ultimate frizzies". He has to read everything right so we can give away a Bose Lifestyle 5 music system with CD player and speakers (labeled MUSIC) worth $1,400.
If Kristie's got no time to spin, she could try to find a multiple on the $2,500 space and solve immediately.

Dana could've tried to sell some software that would glitch our scoreboards in her favor. She otherwise had very few opportunities, now stuck with the nice parting gifts.
Kristie leaves with a 2-day total of $12,700.
BONUS ROUND:
We escort Steve to Bonus Land, no police car required. However, he may be arrested if he can't win one of these:
Steinway grand piano ($35,000)
Trip to Spain and Morocco (over $18,000)
Saab (almost $40,000)
Ballooning in Italy ($20,800)
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

Nice to meet Vanna, and PCFA will be nice.
Nice to meet Vanna, but that's it.
He guesses MARTIAN, BURDEN, and CARTOON. He does not solve HORIZON...
...and it's not nice for Pat to be holding the Saab convertible. Steve remains at $7,650 in cash, but he could win that prize on the next show if he gets this far again.
In the post-game chat, Pat asks if Vanna, George, and Nicholas had a nice Memorial Day. They did! Pat also asks if they threw a little pasta on the grill.
