Melanie guesses OFF THE LEFT END.
Michael solves OFF THE DEEP END.
Starting at the shallow end:
Michael Polinori: Payroll specialist, from Alliance, OH
Kim Ray: Property manager and office manager, from Aurora, CO
Melanie Droz: High school teacher, specifically junior English and journalism, and she's a newspaper editor; from Phoenix, AZ
Go!
Michael solves BAHAMA MAMA.
Will he be in too deep? There's not much room for error if he wants that $10,000 prize.
Michael solves SALSA DANCING LESSON. The lesson is that you solve for the Prize Puzzle for a free prize. His prize is a NWA Vacations holiday in Puerto Rico worth $4,250.
Melanie reads what's on the board.
In our Mystery Round, someone will be in a hurry to flip just one of two wedges. They will find a BANKRUPT, or they will find a Hyundai Accent worth $12,204.
Michael solves CREAMY RANCH DRESSING ROOM.
Go!
Melanie solves LAKE SUPERIOR.
She'll need to find the right letter on the $5,000 space and solve this puzzle to prove that she's the superior player.
DING DING! DING DING!
We heard those bells, and now we ask Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $900 + $1,000 for $1,900 a piece.
Melanie: R (x2) ($5,300)
Michael: G ($1,900)
Kim solves STARTING SALARY for a non-consolation minimum.
BONUS ROUND:
That's just a starting salary for Michael. We can still improve that total with a car or cash up to $100,000!

PHRASE |
He says I'M ON SMOKE, I'M IN SMOKE, and I'M ON SMILE. He had the last word, but he does not solve UP IN SMOKE...
...so the $25,000 goes up in smoke. Michael heads out with a total of $12,650 in cash.
In the post-game chat, Pat asks Vanna if everything is alright. Nicholas and Giovanna are doing good, getting big. Pat's kids are as well, and his daughter Maggie is 9 years old. Pat was busy the other day and late leaving the house, and he needed Maggie's help. She said "I'm 9 years old! How busy can I be?"
