Emil solves IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!.
It's great to see these players again!
Emil deLeon (emilburp ; from Season 31): Responsible for "the best solve in the history of this show", and he reminds us that the used letter board is your friend; since then, he got 15 million views, and he's upgraded from nurse's assistant to a full nurse (giving a shoutout to all the health care workers out there)
John Salvetti (from exactly 6 months ago) Was retired from the military then, but now he's back and part of a leadership team at an IT asset disposal company, repurposing electronics and making sure nothing goes to the landfill; he also has another grandchild on the way; he's remembered for throwing a Mystery BANKRUPT wedge off the stage.
Melinda Gardner (from Season 34): Remembered for missolving the $3,000 Toss-Up on that show, and she justifies that a POPSICLE BIKE is a real thing; she was there with Larry, who has unfortunately passed away since then, and she's carrying his nametag with her to play for both of them.

PHRASE | |||||||||||||||
Still an impressive solve nonetheless as he instantly solves WORK OUT THE KINKS! He's starting to get on Pat's nerves.
Still, Pat is happy to give him an additional $40,000! Emil goes home with $60,500 in cash and prizes! (A "two-day total" of $123,599.)
The $1,000,000 was still hidden somewhere in this Wheel, and it was under the C in AMERICA'S.
In the final segment, Pat says Emil's solve wasn't that big a deal since he knew the answer...but unlike Emil, Pat only knew because he had the answer in his hand, as Vanna points out. Pat accuses her of being picky. Emil did great today!
