There is an E.
No money for it, but you can still take a guess or two if you'd like.

That's his name!
*'17 puzzle solve cue*
Well, the way things were going for you, a strong finish was your best outlook. That's what you did here. $3,000 plus what you had before. Not enough to win the game, but $4,500 is still a nice total.
Thank you for playing, Kyle.
Chris, you had some opportunities to get into this game, but you were outdone by your opponents late. $500 is what we send you home with.
Again, Kourtney, you couldn't be caught. Three more rounds of stellar game play, and you're going back to Bonus Land. $15,026 so far today, $39,249 in all! Three categories to choose from in the Bonus Round. They are...

You will, then.
We'll find out if you'll be wearing a big smile when all is through. We'll be right back!

The only way you can do better is if you win again. Spin that wheel first. *Kourtney spins the wheel*
We have cash: ten, fifteen, twenty or $25,000. We also have two trips: one to New York City, one to Monte Carlo. Or you could win a Chevy Trax... -N

-W Depends on what the ampersand has in store. Pick that up.

Okay, I'll take that. Follow me, so I can get you situated on this mark right here. Take a look at the board. Today's puzzle is this. You chose What Are You Wearing? as the category.
RSTLNE reveals these upcoming letters.

Some good help already. Let's see some more. Three more consonants, one more vowel.

Here's what you end up with. It's small, but it just may be enough. You never know.

All right, remember the category: What Are You Wearing?. Five guesses, say whatever's on your mind. Good luck.

Absolutely right!
*2017 bonus solve cue* 
I never doubted you! Let's open this up.
*opens envelope*
Does ten thousand sound nice?
$10,000
Jim: Here's your paycheck for a solve well-done: $10,000!
Me: That changes your front-loading number to the next one up: $49,249! You're gonna play some more next time, but we have to say goodbye first. We'll do so after some time off!

Now, as we are doing the final chat here, the MLB postseason is in full swing. Ten short years ago, I made a quip about "I'm a Wheel Watcher" being my walk-up cue. Nowadays, stadiums do more than that. I was at a game in Kansas City this season. When they announced the closer coming up, they blasted his music and flickered the lights on and off. And you know what he did? He blew the save and the Royals lost. All that buildup for nothing.
Vanna: This game and baseball aren't that much different.
Me: You're right. We've seen sure leads get fizzled by a few lucky spins and a great Speed-Up performance. Same would go with Bonus Rounds. I've seen impossible puzzles get solved, but sometimes a contestant's nerves take over. You're seeing those with Ryan now.
Vanna: It's only been a few weeks.
Me: The show's been seeing those for 50 years now. Speaking of years, we'll play another year next time. So long, fellas!
Vanna: Bye-bye!
*fade out*
