This is our third extra episodes week of the season, and we're saluting some "Great American Cities"
Animated Intro of the Week: Pat & Vanna are in a red sportscar with several U.S. cities in the background (Pat loses his road map during the ride), and the camera zooms in on one of the car's tires showing the Wheel-shaped logo
Jim Thornton, the most likely candidate as permanent announcer, is back at it for another week of shows as we start things off on the set of "Wheel Was Here".

The Wheelmobile is back to reveal the week's main puzzles.
Carrie does a lot of work, but she BANKRUPTS for a $2,850 loss. Two spins later, Kayley BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to give back $1,000. Greg then picks up the SC trip with a B, but he hits the other BANKRUPT of the MDW to hand back $7,000 cash and SC. That allows Carrie to solve...

Early on, Kayley picks up the TomTom gift tag with an H, but she misses with an R. Later, she picks up the Wild Card with an L. After some work, she BANKRUPTS to give up $2,150 and the WC. Two spins later, Greg attempts to solve...

P A _ K E D / I N
T H E / B L I N K
O _ / A N / E _ E
He blows it by one letter with I CAN BE PARKED IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, because the R was already dead; he very likely threw away at least $2,700. Carrie fills in the rest of the consonants...
