- I'm Michael McIntyre, and welcome to "The Wheel"!
[cheers and applause]
Tonight, our celebrity experts on the Wheel are...
Comedian Loni Love on Electricity.
Country singer Russell Dickerson on Country Music.
WWE Superstar and winemaker Brie Bella on Wine.
Singer Clay Aiken on Presidents.
Olympic champion Sanya Richards-Ross on Jamaica.
Actress Chrissy Metz on Astrology.
[cheers and applause]
Good, fun categories tonight.
Welcome, all of you. Thank you for coming.
- Hey, Michael. - Yes.
How are we feeling? - Jazzed.
- So you are Astrology.
- Chrissy. But yes, Astrology.
[laughter]
- People always do this to me.
They'll say, "What's your star sign?"
And then I say it, and they go,
"Oh, that explains a lot." - Wait.
- And I don't know what that means!
- Wait, are you a Pisces? What are you?
- Oh, don't tell me you just guessed that.
- Are you Pisces? - Yes.
- [laughs] - Whoa!
- Oh, she is an expert then. - What?
But you've barely spoken to me for what, 90 seconds?
What is it about me?
Is it the two fish tattooed on my neck?
- No, you're gregarious.
Obviously creative, very smart.
- Well, you're also an expert in flattering.
[laughter]
I have to be honest,
this feels like a really, really fun Wheel tonight.
- Whoo! Yes! - Okay. Yes.
- Let's go get some money.
- I think we should all do the Loni.
The Loni Lean.
- Okay. - The Loni Lean.
- Everybody, take the Loni position.
The Loni Lean. - Okay, Russell.
Okay, he's putting his own spin on it.
Okay. [laughter]
- So we have three contestants.
They are beneath us on the Contestant Wheel.
So let's first find out who they are.
Who's down there?
She is a science educator from Beltsville, Maryland.
Give it up for Jeanita.
He's a live event coordinator
from San Francisco, California.
Please welcome Brandon.
She's a software engineer from Cupertino, California.
It's Dara.
[cheers and applause]
Now, the Contested Wheel is completely random,
which means it's a one-in-three.
Who's it gonna be?
Spin the Contestant Wheel.
Here we go.
Who have we got? - Whoo!
- Who have we got?
It's Brandon!
- Hey, guys!
- Brandon!
Yes! - Yay!
- The vibes in here are immaculate.
Hey, everyone.
- And they've just gone on
to another level now that you have joined us, Brandon.
How fun to meet you? Tell us about yourself.
- I am a live event coordinator,
so I travel around and produce different events.
- All right. - So,
you could win big money tonight.
What would you do with that money, Brandon?
- Well, I gotta tell you, I--I feel very lucky.
I'm a very lucky guy.
I have a wonderful husband.
We had a very quick wedding ceremony last year.
- Right. - And we didn't get
to have any of our family present or anything,
so I would want to have a full, proper wedding celebration,
have all the family come in. - Let's do that.
- Let's get Brandon a wedding he deserves!
- That's right!
- In order for that to come true,
you need to clear this wheel of all the categories
that our experts have brought with them tonight.
So from those six,
what are you feeling you want to go for first?
- I'm going to choose Wine. - Absolutely.
What a lovely idea.
Wine has been selected.
And although she's in red,
Brie is now, as our expert, in gold.
[cheers and applause] - Ooh!
- If you land on Brie, our wine expert,
it is worth $10,000 for the bank,
which is double the amount of money
it's worth for everybody else.
Now, unfortunately, someone's going to have
to endure an unpleasant moment.
Who do you feel is not a fan of wine?
Who would you like to shut down?
Meaning if you land on them,
you're immediately off the Wheel.
- So I have a feeling you're more of a bourbon guy, Russell,
so I'm going to shut you down with respect.
- Russell, you've been shut down with respect.
- Fair enough.
- So let's hope we land there.
Let's avoid here.
It's your first spin of the night.
Very best of luck, Brandon. - Thank you.
- Spin the Wheel!
Let's do this. Here we go.
- All right! - Here we go.
- Hey! - Stay away from him.
Perfect. - Hey!
- Oh, yes. There goes Chrissy.
- Go, Brandon.
- Slow it down. Slow it down.
- Oh, this is what we want.
Keep going.
Okay. Keep going to Brie.
- Oh! - Keep going. Keep going.
- It could be Chrissy. - Are you joking right now?
Are you joking? - Could be Chrissy.
Or it could be...
It's Clay. - All right.
Clay. [laughter]
We got it. We got this.
- Let's hope the question is, what do they make wine from?
Because that is probably the only thing
I'm gonna know the answer to.
But, okay, I'm gonna bring everything I can.
- It's for $5,000 in the bank
and, of course, your place on this wheel.
Let's have a look at the question.
Is it Gallo, Pérignon,
Franzia, or Coppola?
Each expert will play along and answer secretly and quietly.
Poker-faced, lock in your answers on your keypads.
That is going to be very important
at the end of this game.
What are you thinking?
- I do recognize Gallo and Pérignon.
- Okay. What do you know about Gallo?
- I only know that it's wine, right?
So, isn't Pérignon, like, a champagne?
- Yeah, I feel like there's less of that made, right?
So we--I feel like I can rule out Pérignon
because that is a more--
- It's real fancy. - It's fancy.
- What are you thinking?
- Something in my gut told me Gallo,
just because I feel like I've heard that name
around wine a lot.
So I'm going to lock in Gallo.
- Gallo has been locked in.
Is it Gallo?
[suspenseful music]
* *
It is! - Yes!
- See? I knew it.
- Oh, that's brilliant news.
- Yay, Brandon!
- Way to hustle.
- $5,000 in the bank.
So, Brandon, Wine is removed from the Wheel.
It's a great start.
What are you gonna go for next?
- So I'm a little bit of a geography nerd.
And so, I'm gonna choose Jamaica.
- Yeah! - Oh, yeah.
- Jamaica has been selected.
We've got a gold medal winner.
Of course, Sanya is our expert, and she is in gold.
- Ooh, just the way I like it. - Yes.
Who would you like shut down?
Who do you feel not an expert on Jamaica?
- I'm gonna shut down clay just because we just had the chance
to work together, and I'm not--
- And don't want to work together again.
- Yes. - Yes.
- So-- [laughter]
- Clearly, I was no help to you before.
- You have been shut down, Clay,
on the subject of Jamaica.
Let's go for gold! - All right!
- Spin the Wheel!
Here we go! Come on!
[upbeat music]
- Hey! - Hey!
* *
- Where are we gonna land?
- Whoo! - Oh, no!
You know what, man? Keep going.
- Come on. Go past.
[cheers and applause]
- This is what we need.
- Come on. - Here we go.
- Come on. - Come on.
- Come on! - Come on, Sanya!
- Come on! Here we go.
- Yes!
- Here we go. - Come on.
[cheers and applause] - Whoo! Yes!
- Brilliant. Very good.
- I mean, I was just born there.
That's it. We'll see.
[laughter]
- Sanya's completely backtracking.
As soon as she was spun,
and she's like, "I was just born there.
I've never really been there. I've seen it once in a movie."
[laughter]
All right. Listen.
Because you're the golden expert,
it's worth double money.
- Yes. $10,000. - $10,000 in the bank.
- Let's do this, Brandon. - Whoo! All right.
- Let's have a look at the question.
Is it avocado, sugar cane,
coffee, plantains?
What are you two thinking?
- First of all, have you ever had Jamaican plantains before?
- I have not. - Oh, my God.
First of all, that's gonna change your life.
- Okay. - But they're not famous
for the Blue Mountain, okay, so it's not that.
So sugar cane is famous in Jamaica.
Like, they make a lot of sugar.
We produce a lot of sugar there,
but not on the Blue Mountain.
- My first instinct was that
I've seen a coffee brand like this before.
- Yeah. - I had a feeling
that it was something related to coffee.
- I'm gonna go with you, baby. Coffee!
- Is it? All right.
I'm feeling like that's right. - Okay.
- I'm going to lock in coffee.
- Coffee has been locked in.
Are you still on this wheel?
Is there an additional $10,000 in the bank?
Is it coffee?
[suspenseful music]
Let's find out after the break.
[audience ohs]
- Welcome back to "The Wheel,"
where Brandon is in poll position.
We got $5,000 in the bank.
Before the break,
Brandon locked in the answer "coffee" to the question...
You did land on an expert,
which means we're playing for double money.
Are you still on this wheel?
Is there an additional $10,000 in the bank?
Is it coffee?
[suspenseful music]
* *
Of course, it is! - Yes!
Let's go! - Yes!
- Whoo! - Go, Brandon!
- All right! - In the bank!
- Oh, my God!
- $15,000 then in the bank.
Two categories removed.
We've started with wine and coffee.
It's like we've just had dinner together.
[laughter]
Well, what are you feeling most confident about?
- I am a huge music nerd.
I've got my 36 presets in my car.
I'm always cycling through all these different music stations.
So I'm gonna go with Country Music.
- Country Music... - All right!
- Yes. - Has been selected.
- Okay. - Of course, our expert,
who we hope is spun in is Russell Dickerson.
He is in gold.
- Whoo! - Whoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo-hoo!
- Now who are you going to shut down?
- I'm going to shut down Loni.
I love you so much. I've actually seen you live.
You're amazing, but I've-- I've gotta shut somebody down.
So, I'm sorry.
- Loni doesn't care that you've seen her live.
She is mortified at this decision.
- I know nothing about country music.
It's R&B and hip hop for me, so you made the right choice.
- There you go.
Just when we thought it was a disaster,
Loni's actually happy.
Loni, you are shut down.
- Thank you. I'll take a break.
[laughter]
- Loni, you can't help yourself with this hand up here.
- Having a good time here, McIntyre.
Let's continue the show. - All right, Loni.
Well, listen, this is a very key area for you, Brandon.
You want the Wheel to land here and not here.
So, spin the Wheel!
Best of luck.
Here we go. - Let's do it!
[cheers and applause] - Come on, then!
Here we go.
No, thank you.
- * Like a cowboy *
* Everybody says *
- Oh, no!
- * Like a cowboy *
- Oh, no!
Stop. Stop. - [growls]
- Stop on--stop. - Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Stop. It could be Clay again.
Or it could be...Brie.
- Brie. Okay. All right.
- I grew up on country music.
So you can be fine. - Okay.
- Oh, she grew up listening to country music.
Unfortunately, she's had so much wine since then,
she can't remember a thing.
[laughter]
- That could be true.
- For an additional $5,000 in the bank,
let's have a look at the question.
George Strait, Johnny Cash,
Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton?
What are you two thinking?
- 44 No. 1 singles.
It's a lot. - It's a big discography.
- In my head, I'm thinking the first one I would say to go,
and I don't know if you, but Loretta Lynn.
- Yeah. She's had a lot, but I don't know
that she's had that much of a prolific career.
- Johnny Cash.
I feel like we can all sing his songs right now
of his hits. - Yeah, right.
- Right? - It's not--again, not 40.
He doesn't have that--that much.
- When I think about Dolly--
- I would be-- it would be bad
to get a question about Dolly Parton wrong.
- I know. - The gays will kill me.
[laughter]
Dolly's had a lot of--
Has Dolly had 44 country singles?
- I don't know if it's 44, but I feel--
- George Strait has also had a ton of songs
and he's been around for a while, but--
- Yeah, that was, like, my first concert I ever went to,
and I was in, like, third grade.
And I feel like he's still been making music.
- I think it's between George and Dolly.
I'm kind of leaning towards George.
- Your gut's telling you George.
I think we go with George then. - Okay.
I'm gonna lock in George Strait.
- George Strait has been locked in.
Are you still with us, or are you off the Wheel?
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Oh, my God! - It is!
- Yes!
- Whoo-hoo! - I love that celebration.
- Yeah! - Well done.
- Thank you. - Well, well done.
- Whoo. - $20,000 now in the bank.
You're doing so, so well.
Only three categories left.
Halfway through the Wheel.
Can Brandon stay here?
Find out after the break of "The Wheel."
- Welcome back to "The Wheel," where I am here with Brandon.
He's cleared half the Wheel. There's $20,000 in the bank.
Things are going very, very well.
[cheers and applause]
What are you gonna go for next?
- I'm gonna go with Presidents next.
- Presidents has been selected. - Yes.
- Oh, I'm a little scared now.
- Clay's confidence in his own category is very, very low.
[laughter]
Have faith in yourself.
Our expert is...Clay?
[laughter]
He is in gold.
[cheers and applause]
Who do you think is not paying attention
to history or to the news?
- So I'm going to shut down Sanya.
- I think it's a great choice because I was in Jamaica
and I don't know nothing about American presidents, okay?
- Well, guess what, I lived in America and I don't know.
[laughter]
- All right, well, I'm gonna wait with you
in front of the arrow.
Come on, Clay.
We believe in you. - Okay, here we go.
- Spin the Wheel!
- Come on! - Let's do it! Whoo-hoo!
Whoo! - Spin!
- Let's go, baby! - Oh!
[patriotic music]
- Come on, Clay.
We want gold. - Whoo-hoo!
- No, thanks.
- Keep going. Keep going.
- Come on. Where are we gonna land?
- Hey!
- No, thank you. Keep going.
We're gonna be all right. We're gonna be all right.
- Oh, no! - Come on. We don't want this.
- Oh, no. - Come on. Come on, Clay.
- Oh! - Come on, Clay.
- Come on. Come on. Come on. Don't stick it on Chrissy!
Come home to me! Come on!
Aw. [all groan]
- I'm sorry, Brandon. [laughter]
- I don't know if anybody noticed Clay's acting then,
when he pretended he wanted it to go.
Clay saw it stopping and went,
"No, no, come on. Come on."
He's going, "Yes! Come on."
[laughter]
All right, it's for another $5,000 in the bank.
Let's have a look at the question.
Adams and Adams, Johnson and Johnson,
Bush and Bush, Roosevelt and Roosevelt?
What are you thinking?
- It's gotta be people who existed
within the same time periods, right?
So obviously it's not gonna be Bush and Bush.
- Okay. - Same time period.
- I'm here for you. [laughter]
- One of the Adams was John Adams,
which was, like, way back at the beginning, right?
- Yeah.
- Johnson was Lyndon Johnson,
and that was in the '60s.
You know who the other Johnson was?
- Johnson & Johnson? I don't know.
Okay. I'm here for moral support.
- John Adams was all the way back.
He was, like, way in the beginning.
So I sort of feel like the Adams is--
could be separate. - Okay.
Okay. I like this idea.
- Brandon, what are you gonna do?
- I am going to lock in Adams and Adams.
- Adams and Adams.
Brandon, you've been amazing. You've cleared half this wheel.
It's for your place and another $5,000 in the bank.
Is it Adams and Adams?
Good luck, Brandon. Come on.
[suspenseful music]
- Come on, Brandon.
* *
- Oh, no. - [sighs]
- I'm sorry.
- It's the wrong answer. - It's okay.
- I'm gonna go to Clay. Clay, what are you thinking?
- So, Lyndon Johnson was, you're right, in the '60s.
Andrew Johnson was Abraham Lincoln's vice president.
- Wow. - Okay.
[applause] This guy.
- Let's just confirm that is the right answer
and our expert is correct.
Yes, it is. It's Johnson and Johnson.
I'm so, so sorry, Brandon. - It's okay.
- You might be back immediately.
It's a one-in-three.
But for now, it's goodbye to Brandon.
Bye, Brandon. - See you soon.
- Great job.
Great job, buddy. Great job.
[applause]
- Okay. We need a new contest.
It's a one-in-three. Who's it gonna be?
Spin the Contestant Wheel.
[cheers and applause]
Is it gonna be Dara? Will it be Jeanita?
Or is it gonna be Brandon again?
[upbeat music]
- Oh! - It's Jeanita!
- What's up, girl? - Hi.
- Hi, Jeanita. - Hello. Hello.
- Welcome to the Wheel. - Thank you.
- You have been selected.
There's only three categories remaining.
- Wow. - Knock those off,
and you're through to the cash-out question.
Tell us about yourself, Jeanita.
- So after finishing getting my PhD in analytical chemistry--
- Whoa, what?
- Yes.
- But I--I actually worked in a lab,
doing research in forensics.
I transitioned into being a adjunct professor
for chemistry, and then I also run a program
where we inspire youth to pursue STEAM,
which is science, technology, engineering, art, and math,
with confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm.
- Yes. Yes. - Wow.
- Well, I think we all need to go home
because this is the cleverest person we've ever met.
So we're gonna go to the bar,
and we'll just leave you to play the game.
- I mean, I'm fine with that.
- So if you were to win tonight,
what would you do with the money?
- For me, my parents have always been
my biggest inspiration.
They were scientists themselves.
And so, I would love to help them get their retirement home
so that they can sit back and chill
while we continue to go live it up.
- Aw. - That's just extraordinary.
- Fantastic. - All right.
Let's hope we can help you help your parents.
I assume you know everything in the world.
What are you gonna go for?
- Astrology.
- Astrology has been selected. - Yeah.
Chrissy is our expert.
She is in gold.
You want to land on her, Jeanita.
- Yes.
- Now, who do you think is not a fan of astrology?
- Hmm. - Who are you gonna shut down?
Meaning, if you land on them, you're off the Wheel.
- I'm gonna go with shutting down Russell.
I don't know that I get astrology vibes.
- He's giving you some vibes now,
and they're not all--they're not all together pleasant.
Russell, on the subject of astrology,
you have been shut down.
- I guess I'm just giving off the not-smart vibe.
The country music guy.
Okay, I get it. I get it.
- Okay. It's your first spin tonight.
Very best of luck.
Let's get Chrissy!
Spin the Wheel! - Whoa!
- Come on! - Whoo!
- Go, Jeanita!
[upbeat music]
- Here we go.
Stop. - Come on.
I need you to come on back around.
- Try to get the vibe.
- Keep going. Please God, do not be me.
[laughter]
- This is what we want. Come on!
- Keep going. - This one's good!
- Come on! You got Chrissy.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
- Stop! - Yes!
- Yeah. - All right.
The pressure is on, though. - Yes!
- Whoo! - The pressure is on.
- We got this. - Together, we have this.
- We got it. - It's our expert, Chrissy.
It's double money.
$10,000 for the bank.
Let's have a look at the question on astrology.
Is it September? Is it June?
Is it April? Is it December?
Have a chat.
- Okay. I'm pretty confident.
April--I have a lot of friends. Those tend to be Aries.
June, my brother. He is a Gemini.
- Right. December, Sagittarius. - December is Sagittarius or--
And it goes into Capricorn maybe, or--
- Oh, January is, like, Capricorn.
- Okay. Okay.
- So my birthday is September 29th.
- Okay. - And I'm a Libra.
- Well, I mean--
- So I'm thinking it's September.
- We gonna go ahead and lock in September as our answer.
- Boom. - September has been locked in.
- I'm gonnna go into Loni Lean for this one.
- Hey. Do the Loni lean, girl.
- Do the Loni.
For your place on this wheel
and another $10,000 in the bank,
as we all do the Loni together, is it September?
[suspenseful music]
* *
Of course, it is!
What a start. - Yay!
- Thank you. Thank you. - That is unbelievable.
The expert knew it, which means another $10,000.
So that means there is a very impressive $30,000 in the bank.
So, Jeanita is in control of this Wheel.
Will she stay in control?
Find out after the break when "The Wheel" returns.
[cheers and applause]
- Welcome back to "The Wheel."
We have $30,000 in the bank.
Two categories remaining.
Are you going to go for Presidents or Electricity?
- I'm gonna go with the Presidents.
Clay looks pretty confident, so.
- Ooh! Well, he has fooled you.
- Oh, no. [laughter]
- He has some self-esteem issues.
[laughter] - Fair.
- Okay, Presidents has been selected.
And although he denies it, he is our golden expert: Clay.
[cheers and applause] - There he is.
- Now, who are you gonna shut down?
- I am shutting down Loni.
- Loni, on the subject of the Presidents,
you have been shut down.
- You ain't gotta say it so forcefully.
[laughter]
- I'm gonna go with Loni, and we're gonna work really hard
to keep this arrow away from us.
All right. Let's do this.
Spin the Wheel and stay away from here.
No, thank you. - No.
- No, thank you. - No.
- All right, Clay. I need you to come on back.
Come on back.
- No, no, no.
- Keep on going, Loni. Keep on going.
[upbeat music]
- * For me *
- Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. - Come on!
- Are we fine? Fine. - Keep going. Keep going.
- It could be Sanya.
It could be Russell.
It is Sanya.
She's here to help you.
- We gonna get these Presidents, girl.
- You got it. You got it. - It's for another $5,000.
Let's have a look at the question on the presidents.
Joe Biden, Richard Nixon,
Herbert Hoover, Calvin Coolidge?
What are you thinking, you two? - What are you thinking?
- So I know for sure Joe, he was a vice president.
- All right. - Take him outta there.
I'm leaning towards Nixon.
For some reason, that's who's coming to mind.
Herbert Hoover.
I'm fairly confident he was a vice president.
- Yeah. - Calvin Coolidge,
quite honestly, is escaping me.
But for some reason, I am initially drawn
to Richard Nixon.
But I'm not 100% sure.
What are you thinking? - I'm feeling you.
I think Richard Nixon was the person--
when I go way back in my memory bank in history class,
I feel like it might have been him.
- I'm gonna go with the vibe.
We're gonna lock in Richard Nixon.
- Richard Nixon has been locked in.
To $5,000 in the bank, is it Richard Nixon?
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Ah! - Oh, no.
Clay.
- Richard Nixon is a little tricky
because he wasn't vice president, right,
before he was president.
He was Dwight Eisenhower's vice president.
After Eisenhower left, Kennedy and Johnson came in,
and then Nixon came in after that.
- So the answer is?
- Herbert Hoover, I believe, is the answer.
- Wow! - Whoa!
- Sorry. We let you down.
- I'm so, so sorry, but you are off the Wheel.
You could be back immediately. - I'll be back.
- I will be back. - Bye.
- So Jeanita loses her place.
We can't get rid of the Presidents.
Two categories left.
We've met Brandon. Still never met Dara.
Is it Dara time?
It's a one-in-three. Who's it gonna be?
Spin the Contestant Wheel!
[cheers and applause]
Who's it gonna be?
- Who's it gonna be? - Who's it gonna be?
- Oh! - Oh!
- Oh, a new friend!
- It is Dara.
Dara, welcome to the Wheel.
- Thank you for having me. - How exciting.
We're so glad we finally get to meet you.
Let me tell you, only two categories
stand in your way from cashing out.
Dara, tell us about yourself.
- I am a recent college graduate
from University of Michigan.
[applause]
Go Blue.
I just moved to New York to be a full-time software engineer
at a popular rideshare company.
- Okay.
So if you were to win big tonight,
what would you do with the money?
- If I were to win,
I would probably help pay off my parents' house.
- Well, that would be a lovely, lovely gesture.
- Yeah, my dad drove me an hour to Judo practice every--
like, every three days.
- So are you, like, a black belt in Judo?
- Yeah, I'm a black belt in Judo
and a blue belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
- Amazing. - Yeah.
And I grew up watching the "WWE" and UFC
with my family, like, every week, so.
- Amazing.
- But actually, I would love to call out Brie.
- Hey, I'm ready. - Yeah. Hi.
- I thought you wanted to call me out for a match.
I'm like, let's go. I'm ready.
- Let's go. - Clear the Wheel.
- This has just become a ring, not a wheel.
[laughter]
So what are you gonna go for?
Are you gonna go for Electricity or Presidents?
- I have a good feeling about electricity, I think.
- Brilliant.
Well, you are the first person tonight
to select Electricity. - Finally.
- Now, this is a fascinating expertise.
- Yes. - Electricity.
- Yes.
[both hiss]
- What's that all about? - 'Cause I'm hot.
- Yes, you are. - No.
I actually graduated with a electrical engineering degree.
- Oh, hello. - Many moons ago.
- Hello. - Come on.
- I was an engineer for eight years.
I was the worst engineer
in the United States of America.
I can tell you that.
Anybody buying a 1997 Chevrolet Corv,
let's take that car back 'cause I built it.
[laughter]
- For tonight, she is our golden expert in electricity.
- Finally! - Loni Love.
- Okay.
- So who would like to shut down?
Who are you feeling no electricity with?
- You know, I'm so sorry, Sanya.
You've been sitting in front of me and smiling.
I think I'm gonna shut you down.
- Sanya, you are shut down.
[laughter]
Spin the Wheel! - Come on!
- Whoo! - Come on, Loni.
Let's do this.
[upbeat music]
* *
- * The wind *
- Danger.
- * The wind *
- Come on. - Come on, Loni.
It could be Clay or Brie.
It looks like it's going to be...
- All right. Clay. - It's Clay.
- Okay, Dara.
- To $5,000 in the bank,
let's have a look at the question on electricity.
Neutral, Hot, Ground, Polarized?
What are you two thinking?
- Ground, I know, is definitely electricity thing.
- I've been renovating a house.
I'm probably not smart. Who knows?
I could catch it on fire and burn it down.
But I am inclined to think that that third prong,
which is optional, is the ground one.
- I'ma agree with you on the optional thing here.
I think I'ma lock in ground.
- Ground has been locked in.
Was that fantastic advice from Clay,
or is his rising self-esteem about to take...
- A plummet? - A shattering blow?
Let's find out after the break.
[audience ohs]
- Welcome back to "The Wheel,"
where we have $30,000 in the bank.
[cheers and applause]
Before the break,
Dara locked in the answer "ground" to the question...
It's for $5,000 in the bank.
Is it ground? Good luck, Dara.
[suspenseful music]
* *
Yes! Well done.
Well done, Dara.
Another $5,000 means the total is
a huge $35,000 in the bank.
We have only one category remaining.
It's Presidents.
We have struggled
to knock this off the Wheel twice before.
Our expert in this category is the amazing Clay.
You really, really want to land on him.
He is in gold.
- Yes! [laughter]
- Now, who are you gonna shut down
on the category of Presidents?
- Um...
Brie.
I don't know how much you know about presidents.
I'm so sorry.
- Well, I think there's obviously something going on
where you are desperate to fight Brie.
[laughter]
- 'Cause we don't like being shut down.
- You know, you've called her out.
I'm worried that in your parents' house
we're trying to pay off, there's pictures of Brie
all over the walls with big Xs through them.
"I'm coming after you, Bella." [laughter]
Brie, you are shut down.
[laughter]
Now, land on Brie, you are off the Wheel
and the beef between you will get even more serious
until we're all watching a pay-per-view bout.
[laughter] - Uh-oh.
- Brie versus Dara. - Yeah, let's book it.
- Okay. Good luck.
Spin the Wheel! - Spin the Wheel!
- Let's do this. Come on.
Come on then, Clay.
Oh, we're used to this. Here we go.
[laughter]
- You got it, girl. You got it.
- Who's it gonna be?
[patriotic music]
We want Clay.
[hums]
* The Wheel *
Keep going. - Oh, no!
- That's not good. - No. No.
- Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
- No. No. - Yes!
- It's Loni. - No. No.
- I'm glad it's Loni. - No, no?
- No!
- We've been waiting for Loni. [laughter]
- Yeah! - All right.
Loni is not confident that she is here to help you.
It's worth $5,000 in the bank.
It's to clear the Wheel. - Mm-hmm.
- It's to put you through to the cash-out question
to win tonight's show.
- [exhales sharply]
- Let's have a look at the question on presidents.
There's celebrations on the Wheel.
Hit his head while bowing, threw up on him,
kissed his wife, broke his watch?
[laughter]
- Well, it wasn't break his watch.
It wasn't hit his head. What do you think?
[laughter]
- Oh, my gosh. Okay.
- 'Cause I look at the news a lot.
- Okay. - And at that time,
it was a big deal because he ate something
and he threw up on him.
I am pretty sure, almost positive,
that he threw up on him.
And we had to apologize. It was a mess.
- Okay. That's pretty embarrassing.
That sounds like a good answer to me.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna lock in.
Her confidence. - Well, amazing.
- And say he threw up on him. - Amazing.
- Yeah.
- If that's right, what fabulous fortune.
- Go on. Go on. - Oh, my gosh.
Go on. - Hit the Loni.
- I'm going around. - Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, there's a lot of confidence in here.
- What's this? - Everyone's doing the Loni.
- That's right.
- There you go.
- Have you cleared this wheel?
Is it threw up on him? - Mm-hmm.
- Are you through to the cash-out question?
[suspenseful music]
* *
- Yes! - Oh, my gosh!
Oh! - Yeah!
[cheers and applause] - Yes, yes, yes!
Go, Loni! Go, Loni!
Amazing. - Go, Loni.
- Congratulations. Congratulations.
- We have $40,000 in the bank, and Dara has cleared the Wheel.
[cheers and applause]
It is cash-out time.
Can Dara cash out to win tonight's show,
or will she step off the Wheel,
allowing somebody else to win the show?
Don't go anywhere.
Come back to "The Wheel."
- Welcome back to "The Wheel."
I am here with Dara
who is about to face a cash-out question.
We have $40,000 in the bank.
Dara, you are gonna try and cash out some serious money
from this bank to put towards your parents' mortgage.
You will be assisted by one of only three of these experts.
To find out who from this wheel is going to help you,
first, what I have to do is reveal the rankings.
- Oh, no.
- We have been collecting all your answers
from tonight's show to let you know
how they have performed, from the strongest to the weakest.
Look at poor Clay. He's terrified.
- I always come in second. It's okay.
- You've done so well.
- I'm sure I'm last. - Oh, no.
- Chrissy is sure she's last. - No, no, no.
- I'll wager you, Russell.
[laughter]
- All right, well, we're gonna find out how you have done.
In first place,
huge congratulations go to...
Of course it's Clay.
What more do you need now? - Okay, I feel fine now.
- You're priceless, Clay. - He's still in the game.
Also is still in the game, our middle-placed expert, Loni.
- Okay, Loni.
- Oh! Oh, for real? [laughs]
- Loni Love is in the house.
- Yes! I did it. - Well done.
Now, someone has to come last.
There's no-- there's no shame in it.
- No, there isn't. - When I say there's no shame,
obviously-- - There is? Oh.
- Well, there's more shame than coming
in any of the other spots.
So, the final person still in the game
is our bottom-placed player.
Is it Russell, Sanya, Chrissy, or Brie?
- Okay. - Ah!
- All right. - Russell came last tonight.
[laughter]
- It's your boy. - Whoo-hoo.
- It's your boy.
- Now, if you choose our middle-placed expert, Loni,
you would be playing to win the entire bank, $40,000.
- That's amazing.
- If you want to play safe
and select a gentleman
who doesn't know his self-worth
but I'm about to put a number on it--
he is actually worth half the bank
because he's so damn intelligent--
$20,000.
However, if you would like to gamble tonight...
[laughter]
and go with Russell,
who's had such a disappointing night
he's penned a new album about it...
- Yeah.
- If you pick him and he helps you win tonight's show,
because we deem him to be less likely
to help you get to the right answer,
I'm doubling the bank.
- Whoo! - $80,000.
- Ooh.
- Ooh, that's a lot of money.
- Who are you gonna choose to help you?
- There's so many shoes I can buy
with 80 grand, and I can pay off--
- What happened to the mortgage?
- Right? - And I can pay off
my parents' mortgage.
It's a win-win situation.
- Hang on minute.
The mortgage has gone out the window.
We've gone shoe-shopping.
[laughter]
Okay.
So what are you gonna do? Who are you gonna play with?
- I think I'm gonna pick Clay for 20.
- Oh, you're going lowest.
- I think so. - Really?
- There goes 80Gs. - Bye.
- There's a lot of shoes over there.
Not to mention, the mortgage.
But listen, it's real money.
- It's your game, boo. - That's true.
Thank you. - You are here to win.
If you gamble and lose, you're off the Wheel,
so you have taken what is deemed to be the safe option.
All right, this cash-out question
is going to come from one of these three categories.
We have Money, ironically, Reality TV, and Advertising.
Okay. Let's spin the Category Wheel.
[upbeat music]
- Whoo! - Come on.
- Oh, my gosh.
* *
- Oh, there goes Reality.
It's gonna be the Money, it looks like.
There you go.
This game is entirely about money.
The question is about money,
and I have $20,000 for you if you get it right.
You will have only 30 seconds this time to discuss
for $20,000. - Ooh.
- Let's have a look at the question.
Is it U.S. Treasury, Independence Hall,
the White House, Lincoln Memorial?
Start the clock. 30 seconds.
Discuss. - Okay.
The Treasury would've been Hamilton.
He's on the 10, so I don't think it's that.
- Okay. - Lincoln Memorial.
Lincoln's not on the-- on the hundred either.
Benjamin Franklin's on the hundred.
- Okay. - I would...
- Either Independence Hall or the White House?
I haven't hold--held a lot of hundred dollars bills
in my life, I'm gonna be honest.
- 10 seconds.
- I think it might be the White House, though.
- I would've-- I don't know.
I would've-- it's one of those two.
- Okay. - You gotta pick.
- You know the presidents, though, so.
- That's enough. Give me your answer.
- Okay, I'm locking in Independence Hall.
- Independence Hall has been locked in.
- I like that 'cause Ben Franklin's on it.
- I thought we were heading for the White House there.
- I did too.
- Then you changed at last second.
- She chose independently. - I chose independently.
- You chose independently. - Yep.
- Smart. - Okay.
It's $20,000.
Have you won tonight's show?
Is it Independence Hall?
[suspenseful music]
* *
It is! - Oh, my gosh!
Thank you.
- Well done, Dara. You've won!
- Thank you. - You've won $20,000.
Congratulations.
[cheers and applause]
- I feel so thankful for Clay right now.
- She answered it.
- Now we need to talk about
the mortgage versus shoes situation.
How we divvying this up?
Are we going mainly mortgage for Mom and Dad,
or are we going more shoes?
Are you walking into their house in brand-new shoes,
not even mentioning that you were on the show?
[laughter]
- No, I have plenty shoes.
I would really like to pay off my parents' mortgage.
- Okay. Well, that's very, very sweet.
Well done to Dara, and thank you to all of our experts.
You were all brilliant. - Whoo!
- See you next time. Good night!
[cheers and applause]
