Brandon solves TRANSYLVANIA w/ no trouble. Let's get to know all of these people:
Brandon Lindloff (Rockford, IL)- A poker dealer in Elgin & a sports fan engaged to Ashley who's expecting a child
Trista Struve (Flagstaff, AZ; originally from River Falls, WI)- An office manager for a roofing company engaged to Phil
Nikki Lietzke (Burbank)- A major movie studio tour guide & an event/wedding planner
(Notes: On Wheel Deals! Wednesdays like this one, you can can hear about special offers later in the show; this week's comes from 1-800flowers.com. Also, did you know that the now-defunct Burbank VIDEO once distributed the 1977 "Let's Make a Deal" documentary titled "Deal"?)
$2K TU subject's Living Thing:

S _ _ R K
Brandon gets WHALE SHARK for the tripler & control.
Available on the wheel's a trip to the Woodlands Inn (which is a restored 1906 mansion) w/ a Charleston, SC Ghost Dungeon Walking Tour worth $5,535; the puzzle category of the Eggland's Best Jackpot Round is Title. His lead-off letter choices are three T's for $7.5K, three I's & E's, two H's for another $900, an O & two A's before we get this...
I T ' _ / T H E
_ _ E A T / _ _ _ _ _ I _
_ H A _ _ I E / _ _ O _ _
...he solves "IT'S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN" for the remaining $7,400 in his bank & new cash winnings of $10,400.
PERFECT ROUND
LEFT BEHIND IN JACKPOT: $7,950
First in the Before & After Round, Trista calls four N's for $3,600, buys an E, Free Plays three I's & calls six T's for another $1,800 & five H's for the Million Dollar Wedge; coming her way after that are three FP A's but then the Bankrupt next to $3.5K to take away her MDW & $5,150. Nikki secondly calls trip G's for $10.5K, buys an O & the light bulb in her head comes on...
T H I N G _ / T H A T
G O / _ _ _ _ / I N
T H E / N I G H T
_ A T _ H _ A N
...or so I thought- she blows the $10,250 solve w/ THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT MARATHON. Moving over to Brandon, he calls a $500 S for a 1/2 Car & we now have showing...
T H I N G S / T H A T
G O / _ _ _ _ / I N
T H E / N I G H T
_ A T _ H _ A N
...he steals THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT WATCHMAN to stay perfect w/ $11,400.
SOLE BANKRUPT: Trista
SOLE DQ: Nikki (blown solve)
But Nikki shouldn't panic too much, because she's going first in this match's Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round; the category of this board's Phrase. First from her is an instant dud of R. Second, Brandon calls for two T's for the PartyCity gift tag, four H's for $1,600 & buys the O & a couple E's...
_ H _ _ H / _ _ _ / T O
T H E / _ E _ _ _ H ?
...he'll ask "WHICH WAY TO THE BEACH?", since he's won an extra $2,100 in cash & party supplies in addition to a trip to the Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort in Aruba w/ a $5,100 price tag, making his new total $18,600 in cash & stuff.
SOLE DUD: $800 R (Nikki)

(If you subscribe to Wheel Deals! tonight, you can get a $20 gift at 1-800flowers.com for half the price. And if you use your Sony Card, you'll only have to pay $8 instead of $10.)
Onto the $3K TU, where the solution's a Place:
C _ S _ _ M E
S H _ P
Brandon's sweep bid is still alive after he says COSTUME SHOP to reach the $21,600 mark.
This next puzzle's dealing w/ Fun & Games. This time, his letter call rundown consists of a $500 N, a $450 S, an I, but then a T call stops him in his tracks. Second, Trista picks up a $600 G & an E, but she then calls D for dud. While third in line this round, Nikki hits the other natural Bankrupt. Back to big Brandon, he calls the three B's because he thinks he has an idea...
B _ B B I N G / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ E S
...& he sure does when it comes to BOBBING FOR APPLES, so his cash/prize total's $22,600.
DUDS: $900 D (Trista), $300 T (Brandon)
SOLE BANKRUPT: Nikki
What Are You Doing? is the next question we ask. After Trista calls an $800 N, it's time for Last Chance Mode...
_ _ _ _ _ _ N _ / _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
...w/ all of the leftover consonants paying off at $1,350 per appearance. After a K gets called...
C H _ C K _ N G / M _
H _ R _ S C _ _ _
...SOMEONE'S RAN THE TABLE IN THE MAINGAME!!! With Brandon's solve of CHECKING MY HOROSCOPE, he takes $25,300 in cash & prizes to Bonusland!
Thus, $27,300 in total winnings have been awarded tonight.
DUDS: L (Nikki), T (Brandon)
TONIGHT'S BANKRUPT TRASH (excluding MDW): $5,150
MAXWELL HOUSE TOTAL CLEAN SWEEP ALERT: Brandon's the first BMR entrant this season not to bring anybody along in the audience, but he spins the N in SPIN & gets this to start on a Thing:
_ _ R T _
_ _ _ _ R
DMGA adds at least one A...
_ A R T _
_ A _ _ R
...but he's wrong w/ PARTY CAPER & PARTY PAPER. I hope he just didn't toss aside a PARTY FAVOR that was worth $100K...
...no, it was valued at $35K. He still leaves w/ $25,300 in cash & stuff.
Oh, & Pat Sajak, happy 65th!

"What is...a metal detector?"...that good guess' right to stay very well ahead w/ $14K! Does he complete the DD Sweep...no, Ryan's got the third one on the last State's Rights clue w/ $6,800, exactly half of the champion's current score for the night. But Ryan actually bets four thou:
