Hawai'i couples will be featured all week on "Wheel of Fortune" in its second Honeymoon Week taped at the Hilton Waikoloa Village last year.

This is the fourth and final week of episodes from the game show's visit to the Big Island last fall, all featuring contestants from Hawai'i. However, while the show has left the island, this week's viewers could win trips to the resort by entering the Bonus Round Puzzle Solution each night through Friday. A total of 10 couples will be chosen, two from each night.

To get a glimpse of the prize, check out the shows, filmed outdoors at sunset and in the evenings. Meanwhile, you can also cheer for the Hawai'i residents featured on the show.

Tomorrow, Reina and Charles Hiers of Wahiawa will be competing for prizes to bring home to their two children. Reina is an administrative assistant and Charles is dean of students at Hanalani School.

On Thursday, Jo-Ann and Sean Paio of 'Aiea will be spinning the wheel. Jo-Ann, an office manager, and Sean, a city bus driver, met while Jo-Ann was a greeter at an island clothing store. They've been married for a year.

That episode will also feature Pearl City residents Eloise and Cirio Tungpalan, retirees who enjoy spending time with their grandchildren.

On Friday, Kim and Jeff Bock, of Honolulu, will compete. The Bocks have been married for 18 years. Kim is a media director and Jeff teaches preschool.
