I'm putting this up now as a placeholder because I'm going out to the Blue Jays home opener tonight, and as a result, I will not have time to do a recap this evening. If Prizes could fill in the information when appropriate, it would be much appreciated.
Prizes' Edit: Recap will be up tomorrow, I had to be at the theater tonight, so I missed the show tonight. I'll watch rashad's channel, and I'll recap it from there.

WHEEL OF FORTUNE
SPRING FLING: LAS VEGAS
EPISODE #5410
Ding!
Paul knows it's APRIL FOOLS' DAY!
Here are today's contestants!
Paul Smith is from Little Neck, NY. He's been with the New York City Fire Department for 25 years and is currently a captain. He's married to Katie and has a son, Dan, and daughter, Eileen. He brews his own beer for fun. And Pat, it's good that I'm not here in my official capacity, because Vanna is smokin'!
Alana Bragg-Thomas is from Paris, CA. She's been married to Nelson for two months and has a seven-month-old kid to continue the lineage. She was a collegiate athlete, and now coaches at her alma mater. She's a youth mentor and published poet.
Mona Singh is from Upper Darby, PA. She's an intake coordinator for an eating disorder facility. She loves to travel. She's backpacked in Europe and lived with her late grandmother in India for a month and a half.
Ding!
This isn't FOOL'S GOLD, Mona: that's $2,000 in real money!
Jackpotsponsor: allyBank
Prize: $5,000 DICK'S Sporting Goods shopping spree
Gift Tag: hi SUNGLASSES
Alana can only scoff - WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE!
Pat notes it's from A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Puck said that... sometime or another.
Alana even provides appropriate hand gestures: FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME!
...and it had to happen eventually, right?
WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE? I don't know, Mona, but don't blow all the $20,850 in Cancun! Thanks to the Omni Cancun Hotel and Villas, it's a $5,400 trip!
Also, NB3461802, Nathen B. of West Viriginia, I hope country roads took you home to $50,000 with a Sony Card.
Ding!
Paul's back to play; he ain't NOBODY'S FOOL!
DING-DING! DING-DING!
Well, that Wild Card isn't coming into play this maingame. Vowels worth nothing, consonants... Pat initially hits the BANKRUPT! (TDV), but after a while... $6,000 ┬!
Paul: S (DUD!)
Alana: T (x2 - $12,000)
Mona: N (x2 - $12,000)
Paul: D ($6,000)
Alana: P (DUD!)
Mona: W ($18,000)
Paul: R (DUD!)
Alana: L ($18,000)
Alana, I know you WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN, and $18,000 is impressive...
...but you're out of tricks and one letter short.
Mona's young sister Mitu and best friend Jessica are rooting her on!
Mona lands on the M in AMERICA.
RSTLN E... gives five letters.
CDM O gives a lot of help...
Mona tries COMPUTER WEB PORTAL, COMPUTER NETWORK, COMPUTER OUTPUTS, and COMPUTER PORT, but she can't plug in her COMPUTER KEYBOARD and type about how she won $50,000. At least $28,250 in cash and trip is mighty impressive!
End Chat: Pat notes that every puzzle except the bonus round had the word FOOL in it. Did you catch that?
Prizes 's orignal recap was a reply to this thread:
I know this is a few days late, but I may as well post it now.
Our contestants for Day 5 of Spring Fling Week are Paul, Alana and Mona.
$1,000 Toss Up: APRIL FOOLS' DAY (Event) Paul solved this one.
$2,000 Toss Up: FOOL'S GOLD (Thing) Mona solved this one.
Prize on the Wheel: $5,000 gift certificate for Dick's Sporting Goods.
Round 1: WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE! (Quotation) Alana solved this one for $1,600. The Jackpot got to $8,400 but it wasn't won.
Standings after Round 1:
Mona: $2,000
Alana: $1,600
Paul: $1,000
Round 2: FOOL ME ONCE SHAME ON YOU FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME (Phrase) Alana solved this one for $3,050. Paul picked up the wild card this round with the Ss.
Standings after Round 2:
Alana: $4,650
Mona: $2,000
Paul: $1,000 + WC
Round 3: WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE? (Song Lyrics; Prize Puzzle) Thanks to getting 4 Ls on the $3,500 space, followed by an H on that same space later in the round, Mona banks $20,850 cash this round as well as a trip to Cancun valued at $5,400 for a total of $26,250 this round!
Standings after Round 3:
Mona: $28,250
Alana: $4,650
Paul: $1,000 + WC
$3,000 Toss Up: NOBODY'S FOOL (Person) Paul solved this one.
Round 4: WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN (Song Title; full speed up round for $6,000 per consonant!) Alana solved this one for $18,000. Unfortunately, even though her final score is over $20,000 it is NOT enough to win.
Final standings:
Mona: $28,250
Alana: $22,650
Paul: $4,000 + useless WC
Bonus Round: COMPUTER KEYBOARD (Thing) Mona failed to solve this one, resulting in her losing out on $50,000. Still, her final score of $28,250 is nothing to be ashamed of.
Fun facts: All of the puzzles this episode, save for the bonus round, had the word "fool" in them. As well, the final tally of cash and prizes given away in Vegas this year is an impressive $1,499,664! And this without the million being won too!
Prizes' Edit: Recap will be up tomorrow, I had to be at the theater tonight, so I missed the show tonight. I'll watch rashad's channel, and I'll recap it from there.
9821 Edit: I'm just redoing this specific one, just because April Fools'.
