From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Tim Wade: Grad from Indiana U with sociology and Afro-American studies, wants to relocate to L.A., is from Bloomington, IN
David Ghinn (?): Married to "editor of his life", is a magician and author, Atlanta, GA
Kim Ferraccioli: Married for 5 years, is a home maker, Long Beach, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and we now begin our first puzzle:
David solves HOTEL ROOM.
After a bit of foreshadowing, we add a trip to Aruba and stay at Sonesta Resort & Casino (labeled ARUBA) worth $4,536.
The $2,500 and $10,000 spaces share a room, but will the new guy take that black jacket off?! Well, we can at least begin Round 2:
Tim's first spin of the round. For some reason, the blue arrow was shown landing on the purple $250 instead, although this particular shot also meant the red arrow stopped on the pink $250. The staff lucked out here. Don't ask.
Tim solves ? SNYDER ? THUMB ? AND JERRY. Just by filling in the blank, he can get the $2,000 bonus.
Tim is correct with Tom.
With more room to move around, the $3,500 space is here for one round only!
Kim solves NUCLEAR SUBMARINE SANDWICH.
The men have a lot of catching up to do, but there's a $5,000 space in this round:
DING DING! DING DING!
Pat mistakes the bells for the "only vowels remain" beeps, then tells Tim to spin again before he is told from offstage that it's Speed-Up time.
Now that we've sorted it out, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$200 a piece.
Tim: D ($9,100)
Tim solves GANDER GOOSE & GOSLING.
Switching to Speed-Up with only one consonant remaining?
BONUS ROUND:
Not too much thinking to do in Bonus Land. Really, we've got envelopes, no bells to worry about or anything.
Simply, Kim takes the L, and we give her this puzzle:
RSTLNE gives her...
Kim can just pick some letters, and it will be MHCO:
Right away, she solves FORMAT...
...and she's got $25,000 more! She finishes this game with $40,500!
During the post-game, Pat mentions a few changes including new categories, and a brand new Topkcaj...make that Jackpot wedge.
