It's Day 3 of the Red, White and Blue Sweepstakes! On each day of the Sweepstakes, Round 3 features a puzzle with red and blue letters that form the last name of a U.S. President when unscrambled.
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Opening:
Charlie: “From Hollywood, it's the Wheel of Fortune! America's most popular game show! And now, the world's! Here they are soaring into your lives, Pat Sajak and Vanna White!”
Introductions:
Marjorie Miller – From New Braunfels, Texas. Retired Teacher who taught mostly Social Studies. Married for 38 years to her husband who is in the audience. Has three kids, four grandchildren, two step-grandchildren and expecting another one in December.
Charlene Yaquinto (?) – From Livonia, Michigan. One-day champ with a total of $37,066 dollars which includes the $20,000 Dollar Annuity. Married for 25 years to her husband who is in the audience.
Bhavana Jshoshi (?) – From Pleasant Hill, California. Married to her husband for 6 years. Has one 2 and a half year boy. Software Engineer working for the Largest Auto Insurance company. Speaks Spanish, English and three Indian languages.
Before the game starts Pat asks: “Am I starting to sound more like Alex every night?”
$1000 is the top dollar value for Round 1.

& C O B R A
CLUE
Bhavana solves WATER MOCCASIN, SIDEWINDER & COBRA, which is right, but the uptight fun-killing Wheel of Fortune staff don't think so, because she apparently mispronounced Sidewinder as Side WIN—DER. So she'll use her Free Spin and attempt to solve again.
Bhavana solves WATER MOCCASIN, SIDEWINDER (Pronouncing it Side WINE—DER) & COBRA for $800 dollars!
*HIGH ROLLERS CHIMES*
An extra $500 for identifying what the clue is referring to. She knows they're all SNAKES for $500 more! That brings her total up to $1300 for the round.
Duds: L (Marjorie)

ROUND TWO
Top Dollar: $2500
