Look at this studio, filled with glamorous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise, including:
In total, over $62,000 just waiting to be won today, on Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants are as follows...
Corinne Rosa (?)
Returning champion with $4,050 in earnings
Cheryl Henry (name pronounced with K sound instead of CH sound)
Fashion accessories consultant, collects what I assume are colored mushrooms, California native
Walt (?)
From Muscatine, Iowa, 20-year Navy veteran and worked for a food manufacturer, twice retired, 4 kids and 9 grandchildren
Okay, enough of the mushrooms and retirement, cuz we have a game to play! Our top dollar value is $750, but just make sure you don't hit that BANKRUPT space, because if you do, you lose your cash, but not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep until something happens to it. Let's play!
Round 1: Phrase
_ _ _ _ / _ _
_ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
Obviously, Pat does the whole "We drew numbers" spiel, and Corinne will go first!
L _ V _ / _ T
_ _ R S T / S _ G _ T
For Walt, the money was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, as he solves the puzzle for $1,475.
He then goes on to buy...
$1,211 sleeper sofa ($264 left)
$180 books ($84 remaining, put on gift certificate)
AFTER ROUND 1
Corinne: nothing yet
Cheryl: nothing yet
Walt: $1,475
Okie dokie, on to round 2. Nothing special added to the wheel or anything, other than the $1,000 space! A little more money to be made this time!
Round 2: Phrase (again)
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
G R O _ N D S / F O R
D _ _ O R _ E
Not winning any money in WoF are just one of the many GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE, as Corinne solves for $2,650.
Here's what she buys from the bedroom...
$2,169 bedroom furniture ($481 left)
$410 comforter ($71 left, put on gift certificate)
AFTER ROUND 2
Corinne: $2,650
Cheryl: still nothing
Walt: $1,475
Do you have a structured settlement, and you need cash now? No worries, because we now have the $2,000 space!
Round 3: yet another Phrase
_ _ _ ' _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _
D O N ' T / P R E S S
_ O _ R / L _ _ _
A piece of advice from Walt, who solves this puzzle for $2,350: DON'T PRESS YOUR LUCK. Good thing he did press his luck, because he's the new champion!
While in the living room, he buys... (not in order)
$179 desk clock ($2,171 left)
$220 lithograph print ($1,951 left)
$500 crystal glass cup set ($1,451 left)
$542 floor lamp ($909 left)
$629 chess board ($280 left, put on gift certificate)
FINAL TALLY
Corinne: $2,650 (leaves with $6,700 in cash and prizes)
Cheryl: pity parting gifts
Walt: $3,825 (WINNER + NEW CHAMPION)
Walt has just barely snuck his way into the Bonus Round! Of all the great prizes in store for him, he chooses...
Mazda 323 Deluxe hatchback ($8,546)
In order to win it, he must solve this puzzle:
Bonus Round: One more Phrase because why not
_ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Walt gives the (now automatic) choice of RSTLNE...
T _ E / T R _ T _
_ _ R T S
...and he doesn't hesitate to say THE TRUTH HURTS to win the car!!! As his family celebrates, Pat lets the world know he returns tomorrow with $12,371 in cash and prizes!
REVIEW: Although this was a daytime episode, meaning it was cheap, it didn't stop Walt from getting a big win. Poor Cheryl though, it didn't seem like her mushrooms did her any good. I'll give this one an 8.5/10. I'll (hopefully) be back with more!
