Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes!
Over $52,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Violet Morales: Likes collecting antiques and traveling
John Riben: Sales manager for an aquatic amusement park, from Citrus Heights, CA
Betty Vaught: Homemaker and grandmother
"Now, just before this show, we...looked at this...puzzle, and it's a Thing. And then we drew numbers to see who would start the game."
Violet solves SENSE OF SMELL.
I sense a good round ahead, as we've added a $1,000 space to the Wheel.
Trying to breathe, Betty solves BOSTON POPS ORCHESTRA.
Betty seems to be going crazy, so imagine how she reacts to the $2,000 space!
Let's call it a game before things gets really messy.

After landing on BANKRUPT, John called a T, then after Betty said he was looking at the wrong arrow, she called a T before spinning! Clearing up the confusion, Pat decides she still spins and will be held to the T call.

PHRASE | ||||||||||||||
Thinking about the first part, she does not solve SPREAD-EAGLE, and she even boos the puzzle (albeit jokingly). Violet still has $2,900 and will return.
Pat and Vanna promote an upcoming Couples Week. Married, engaged, or spread-eagle.
