Airdate: Unknown (1990's Wheel)
Today's contestants:
Tracy Hunter: Loves bodybuilding, cooking, embroidery, and holidaying
Darryl Flynn (returning with $3,122 in prizes)
Terry Frisby: Proud owner of 200 ties, including a homemade one from his grandmother that he's wearing right now
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $500, and here's our first puzzle:
Terry solves MAKE IT SNAPPY. We may have to tie him down if he doesn't control himself.
The top dollar-value on the Wheel is now $1,000.
Thanks to some very bad luck from Darryl, we need Phillip to give the Wheel a spin. Consonants are worth $750, and Terry begins.
Terry: S (x2) (Lucky S!) (2,610)
Tracy: P (DUD!)
Darryl: R (750)
Terry: A (x3) (2,610)
Terry guesses AS CLEAR AS DAY.
Tracy: M (750)
Tracy solves AS CLEAR AS MUD.
BONUS ROUND:
With 3,165, Terry might still feel lucky with his three consonants and a vowel. The Golden Wheel spins, and lands on...

Tracy Hunter: Loves bodybuilding, cooking, embroidery, and holidaying
Darryl Flynn (returning with $3,122 in prizes)
Terry Frisby: Proud owner of 200 ties, including a homemade one from his grandmother that he's wearing right now
All three are wearing plenty of colours today, as Phillip points out.
He also clears up that Tracy was brought back due to a problem in a previous game. The show wants to be fair to her.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $500, and here's our first puzzle:
