00:00From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's Game!
00:08Wheel of Fortune!
00:12Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show!
00:16That's Sid Jack and Vanna White!
00:19Hi! Hi there!
00:21Look at this bunch waiting for us.
00:24Alright.
00:25You want to go to the puzzle board tonight, or do you want to swing?
00:27I'm going to go to the puzzle board.
00:28I thought I would.
00:30Hi! Good to see y'all!
00:33If you're ready to play, let's do it.
00:35$1,000 in our first toss-up.
00:37What are you doing is the category, and Vanna is all set.
00:41So is the puzzle. Here we go.
00:55Danielle.
00:56Building bridges.
00:58That is it, yes.
01:01Danielle Ozimek, right?
01:03That's right.
01:04Is from Richfield, Wisconsin.
01:06And let's talk about your busy life there.
01:08You're married, right?
01:09I am.
01:10I'm married to my very talented and supportive husband, John.
01:13We've been married for six years.
01:14Now, people renovate their homes,
01:16but they don't have the challenge of having a home that's how old?
01:19101.
01:20Wow.
01:21So are you, like, top-to-bottoming it there?
01:23We're taking it one room at a time and making it our own
01:27so it can last another 100 years.
01:29I like that.
01:30Glad to have you here.
01:31Hi, Kyle.
01:32How are you doing?
01:33Kyle Randall, Battle Creek, Michigan.
01:35Cereal City.
01:36Yes, sir.
01:37Do they call themselves that, by the way?
01:39We do.
01:40Absolutely.
01:41All the commercials.
01:42Let's see.
01:43You have one child, right?
01:44I do.
01:45A beautiful daughter.
01:46Just recently married a couple months ago.
01:48That's pretty exciting.
01:49It is.
01:50And you approve everything?
01:51Of course.
01:52You're a great operator and a pretty loyal guy.
01:54You've been with the same company for a long time.
01:5630 years.
01:57We could work for one place for 30 years.
01:59Oh, never mind.
02:00You like the water, boating, kayaking, all that stuff, right?
02:02Absolutely.
02:03It's good to have you here.
02:04Glad to be here.
02:06Thanks.
02:07Brianna, how are you doing?
02:08Good.
02:09How are you?
02:10I'm well, thank you.
02:11It's Brianna Branch, right?
02:12Yes.
02:13From Bowie, Maryland.
02:14And everyone on the staff is raving about your smile.
02:16You have apparently never stopped smiling since you walked in here.
02:18No.
02:19Well, I'm glad, and I hope it will continue for the next half hour.
02:21Brianna, do you like baking?
02:22Yes.
02:23So, I like to bake.
02:24I love baking, and I love to watch horror movies while eating the big treats that I made.
02:28So, you bake something, and then you watch...
02:30Horror movies.
02:31Zombies eating each other.
02:32Mm-hmm.
02:33Okay.
02:34All right.
02:35What else do you like?
02:36Heavy metals?
02:37Yeah.
02:38You know, people are really surprised by that, by, like, rock and heavy metal music.
02:41And I would like to learn the guitar so I can play some songs, some of my favorite songs
02:44that I like.
02:45Okay.
02:46I gotcha.
02:47And you want to mention your grandmother.
02:48Well, my grandmother has been an avid WheelWatcher since, like, the inception of Wheel of Fortune,
02:53and she doesn't know that I'm here, but hi, Grandma.
02:56Well, I bet she's smiling, too, now.
02:58Probably.
02:59Good to have you all here.
03:00Let's get ready and do another toss-up.
03:01This one is worth $2,000, and the category is Thing.
03:06Here we go.
03:19Rihanna.
03:20Conventional wisdom?
03:21Yes, ma'am.
03:22You got it.
03:23So, she gets the $2,000.
03:24She'll be spinning in a moment.
03:25Let's check the first puzzle, though.
03:26The category is Event.
03:27There it is.
03:28Now, let's see how you spin.
03:29500.
03:30T.
03:31One T.
03:32That's it, but that's enough to get you going.
03:33Uh-huh.
03:34All right.
03:36500.
03:37T.
03:38One T.
03:39That's it, but that's enough to get you going.
03:40Uh-huh.

03:50An A.
03:51There is one A.
03:52All right.
03:53Any more buying?
03:54You got money.
03:55I'd like to buy another vowel, an E.
03:56Sure.
03:57There are three Es.
03:58You still have a lot of money left.
03:59Up to you.
04:00I'll buy another vowel, an O.
04:01Yep.
04:02Two Os.
04:03And that's it.
04:04Oh!
04:05She's going to win a $2,000.
04:06Oh!
04:07She's going to win a $2,000.
04:08All right.
04:09I'm going to go for that cash.
04:10I'm going to go for that cash.
04:11Hello.
04:12What would you like to do?
04:13I want to buy another vowel.
04:14Okay.
04:15An F.
04:16An F?
04:17I want to buy another vowel.
04:18An F.
04:19Oh!

04:21You're dropping a S.
04:22You have a lot of money left.
04:24Want to buy another or is that it?
04:26And I'll buy the eye.
04:28There you go. You have bought us out of vowels.
04:30There are three eyes. All the vowels are gone.
04:33You have $1,000.
04:35Oh, are you about to do something?
04:37I would love to solve the puzzle.
04:39Okay.

13:05Show them your wild card.
13:07Show them everything. There you go.
13:09Now, she's still about $3,000 off the lead.
13:11That's the way the money's been so big tonight.
13:13But if she can get to the bonus round
13:15with that million-dollar wedge, she has a shot.
13:17We shall see what happens.
13:19It could get interesting around here.
13:21Let's do a triple toss up here.
13:23Everybody's ready for it.
13:25Food and drink the category
13:27for all three of these puzzles.
13:29And here is the first worth $2,000.
13:37Danielle.
13:39Healthy snack.
13:41Yep, she's out of the lead.
13:43What'll happen with number two?
13:51And Brianna.
13:53Delicious snack.
13:55Yeah, that's it.
13:57One more for the taking.
14:05Brianna.
14:07Midnight snack.
14:09Yeah, those horror movies and those muffins.
14:11So, she gets two of the three.
14:13That's a very tight match here.
14:15Just $1,000-plus separating the two ladies at the moment.
14:17Phrase is the category.
14:19One of them, of course, has a million-dollar wedge.
14:21Time means time is running short.
14:23So, Brianna, you have control of the wheel.

14:27Very important final spin.
14:29We'll add $1,000.
14:31$1,500.

15:45$30,846.
15:47Very constant.
15:49Boy, this is pretty cool, huh?
15:51You want to hang on to that?
15:53I got to go talk to your fellow players.
15:55Kyle, they were just beating you up on either side.
15:57I know.
15:59But we do have $1,000 for you.
16:01And our thanks for being here.

16:25Okay, maybe winning a million dollars.
16:27Maybe.
16:29We'll be back.
16:31Wow.
16:33You know, this is the second night in a row
16:35someone's taken the million-dollar wedge
16:37to the bonus round.
16:39I have a good feeling about this one.
16:41Hi, Barrett.
16:43Well,
16:45that solves the smile mystery.
16:47You have a lot of stuff there,
16:49so let me take some of it.
16:51You've got a wild card.
16:53You have this million-dollar wedge.
16:55We've taken the $100,000 envelope off there
16:57and replaced it with the million dollars.
16:59It is out there.
17:01We hope you land on it.
17:03We hope you win.
17:05Whatever happens, give it a spin.
17:07Come on.
17:11And where are we here?
17:13I'm in D, right?
17:15Didn't quite make it to the star.
17:17I'll take that.
17:19Come on with me.
17:21There's your spot right there.
17:23All right, you chose
17:25what are you doing.
17:27There's your category.
17:29R, S, T, L, N, E.
17:31Hmm.
17:33Hmm.
17:35Not a lot of help,
17:37so you need to fill in some letters.
17:39One more vowel.
17:41M.
17:43P.
17:45C.
17:47A.
17:49And you have the wild card.
17:51You get one more consonant.
17:53D.
17:55Some of those letters are up there.
17:57Will it be enough? We'll know soon.
17:59The audience is very important here,
18:01obviously.
18:03Please say nothing.
18:05She's been a good player, that's for sure.
18:07She's checking out the used letter board.
18:09She knows how to play this game.
18:11Ten seconds. Talk it out.
18:13Good luck.
18:17Hanging my own way?
18:19Of course.
18:25Well, you're curious about this?
18:27Well, it's not the million dollars,
18:29I can tell you that, but it's money.
18:31It's money.
18:33Brianna looks like it's payday.
18:35$140,000.
18:37Here they come.
18:39$70,846.
18:41I'm going to move around this happy group.
18:43Pardon me.
18:45I'm going to show everybody.
18:47So here we were.
18:49She was almost directly across the entire length.
18:53The diameter of the puzzle.
18:55Here is the under the eye and win.
18:57That's where the million dollars were.
