For my 10th recap, I figured I would cover an iconic episode among fans of Wheel of Fortune. So here you go, this is my gift to you.
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Opening:
Jack: “Look at this studio, filled with glamourous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise! Including: These gorgeous $16,000 dollars diamond and (source cuts out and in) On this two week Caribbean Adventure! And get behind the wheel of this rugged $15,000 dollar Bronco! Over $94,000 dollars just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune! (Red Graphic) And now, here's your host, Pat Sajak!”
Introductions:
Jeanette Jordan - Has one daughter, worked 30 years in handbag manufacturing, but not doing it anymore because she's taking care of her 86 year old mom. Likes to sing.
Tim Burton (Not that Tim Burton) - A line assigner for a major telephone company. Married with two daughters, Jennifer and Tiffany.
Colleen Head - From Phoenix, Arizona. An electrician at a nuclear power plant. Has a 1 year old baby girl. She also likes to sing.
Game Spiel: Pat: “$1000 dollars is our top dollar value for this round, try not to hit bankrupt, if you do you lose your cash but not your merchandise because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep.”
ROUND ONE
Jeanette won the draw backstage, so she has the privilege of starting the game. Nice big puzzle to start the game off with.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
QUOTATION
SPIN 1- Jeanette's first spin lands on $300 dollars. One T, Two T's for $600 dollars. Good Start.
SPIN 2- This time Jeanette just slides past the Free Spin to land on the yellow $200 on the other side of it. She calls an H, and she will receive one of them. Another $200 gives her $800 dollars.
SPIN 3- She almost hit it last time, and this time she will hit it. Free Spin! Those come in handy for a wide range of things in this game. She spins again.
SPIN 4- Jeanette is coming up on it again but the wheel is slowing down, but the peg flips one more time to give her another Free Spin! Pat jokes to Jeanette: “We have a limited supply of these.”
SPIN 5- Jeanette makes a perfect spin rotation to land on, you guessed it! Free Spin! That gives Jeanette a total of 3 Free Spins now.
SPIN 6- This time it's coming up on the Free Spin again, but not this time. The wheel flips a couple extra pegs to land on the yellow $200. She calls an N, and there is One N in this puzzle. Jeanette now has $1000 dollars. Pat tells Jeanette: “You may never lose your turn.”
SPIN 7- Jeanette is right around the Free Spin again, but this time it just falls short of it to land on the minimum $100 dollars. She calls a D, and one D gives her $100 more. $1100 now.
SPIN 8- Jeanette is still around the Free Spin, and this time she manages to land on it again! That will give Jeanette 4 Free Spins! Pat opens his vest and has the Free Spin resting in one of the inner pockets of his vest and then Jeanette takes the Free Spin from his pocket.
SPIN 9- Jeanette can't get away from that Free Spin it seems, but lands on the other side of it for the yellow $200 again. Jeanette calls an R. No R, not that it really matters though because Jeanette just passes in a Free Spin from her collection and spins again. She still has 3 Free Spins.
SPIN 10- Jeanette makes a perfect rotation to land on the yellow $200 again just passing the Free Spin once again. She calls an F, and there's one of them. Jeanette's total is building slowly but surely, $1300 dollars.
SPIN 11- Jeanette lands on the other yellow $200 just two spaces before Free Spin. Jeanette calls a G this time, and she gets some G's. 3 to be exact. $1900 dollars. Jeanette will invest $250 in a vowel. She'll buy an E. She gets a good return on them too. 5 E's! $1650 left.
SPIN 12- She'll land on the $200 two spaces before Free Spin again. She wants an L, and will get four of them. $800 more for a total of $2450 dollars.
Jeanette wants to solve it.

T _ T H E F L _ G
QUOTATION
Jeanette solves I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG for $2450 dollars!
Time to bring those winnings to the His/Her boutique. For $737, she starts with the secretary desk. $1700+ to go. $700 dollars will get her a nice mattress. Just over the $1000 dollar mark now. For $375, she'll get the flooring. $638 to go. For $300 dollars, the bed ensemble is hers. $338 now. And another $300 dollars will get her the video cassette assortment. That leaves $38 dollars for an American Express gift certificate.
Pat tells us “We'll be back with more of the Jeanette Jordan show, right after these words.”
Duds: R (Jeanette)
Jeanette - $2450
Tim - Hasn't touched the wheel
Colleen - Also hasn't touched the wheel
ROUND TWO
Still $1000 dollars on the wheel, but now there is also a prize on the wheel. Jack tells us about it.
Jack: “You'll receive these his and her ultra contemporary European watches. Anodized steel and yellow gold with quartz movements. The look of tomorrow. Furnished by Van Cleef and Arpels. $3280 dollars!”
That prize is marked on the wheel as Watches. There's also another Bankrupt on the wheel.

_ _ _ _ _ _
PERSON
Pat does not remind players that Person does not always mean Proper Name. Round two is started by Tim.
SPIN 1- Tim will start off by landing on the red $200. He calls a T, and he'll get two T's. $400 dollars.
SPIN 2- Tim almost lands on the red $200 again, but the peg just stops from moving on to the next space and stops on $250. He calls an R, and finds another two letters. $900 dollars in the making so far.
SPIN 3- This time it doesn't look so good, and it isn't good because Tim lands right in the middle of Lose a Turn. The only good thing is his money stays put. On to Colleen.
SPIN 4- Colleen is coming up on the prize wedge and she'll land on that space marked Watches! Those watches are worth $3280 dollars. $150 underneath. She calls a W, and that one W is worth $150 dollars. She has $150 and the Watches. Not enough to buy a vowel, so it's Spin or Solve.
SPIN 5- She spins again and lands right back on that orange $150. She calls the letter N. One N for another $150. $300 + Watches so far. She seems to know it, but she wants some more cash so she'll spin One more time.
SPIN 6- She lands on the tan $300 and calls a B. That will give her $300 more for the B to give her $600 dollars and the Watches.
There's one more consonant left but Colleen thinks she has enough, so she'll solve.
W _ R R _ N
B _ _ T T _
PERSON
Colleen solves WARREN BEATTY for $600 dollars and those nice Watches!
A nice Watch, and a modest amount to spend in the appliance centre. For $599, she spends all but a dollar for the video camera. That leaves $1 dollar for a gift certificate. Pat jokes they could give it to her in some subway tokens as a third option to putting it on a gift certificate or on account.
Going out to commercial, Pat says Colleen should try the watches on and tries to wrap the entire Watches wedge around Colleen's arm.
Lose a Turn: Tim
Jeanette - $2450
Tim - A lose a Turn
Colleen - $3880
ROUND THREE
Pat reminds us there is the big $5000 dollar space on the wheel.
_ _ _ ' _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
Pat tells us, while walking across the stage to the puzzleboard that there is an apostrophe in the puzzle, and he says “I've always wanted to do this” and turns the apostrophe.
Colleen will start off this round.
SPIN 1- First spin of this round lands on the red $350. She calls a T, and there's four of them! $1400 dollars to start.
SPIN 2- This time the wheel goes past the $900 and lands on the orange $200 dollars. She calls an N and gets one of them. Not a whole lot of extra cash, but it's still her turn. $1600 dollars.
SPIN 3- Colleen lands on the red $200 before Lose a Turn and calls an H. One H, another $200 brings her slowly but surely growing total to $1800 dollars. She'll buy an E. Letters are getting revealed quickly now, 4 E's. Down to $1350.
SPIN 4- Colleen lands on the red $250, two spaces before the big $5000 dollars. She calls a C, but finds none. Back to Jeanette “Free Spin” Jordan.
SPIN 5- Jeanette just passes by the $5000 dollars, and almost makes it to $800 but the peg sticks on the yellow $300 dollars. Jeanette wants a D, and will get two. $600 dollars for her.
SPIN 6- The last couple spins have been around it, and this time it's coming up... The big one! And it lands right in the middle of it! $5000 dollars! This is crucial, and she calls a B. That was not only the right choice, but also the best choice. Three B's! $15000 Dollars! That gives her $15600 dollars!! Jeanette will buy a vowel. She buys an A, and there is no A. Jeanette has those free spins. And of course she uses one, who wouldn't? She still has $15350 dollars. And she spins again.
SPIN 7- Jeanette passes the Lose a Turn and lands on $350 dollars on the other side of it. She calls a W, and there's no W, so she'll pass in another Free Spin. She has one left.
SPIN 8- Jeanette is hovering over Bankrupt..... and she just passes it to land on $600 dollars. Jeanette calls an L and the buzzer sounds, but the buzzer is wrong because there is one L. $15950 dollars is sitting in front of Jeanette now.
Jeanette thinks she knows it, so she's going to solve it.
D _ N ' T L E T T H E
B E D B _ _ _ B _ T E
PHRASE
Jeanette solves DON'T LET THE BEDBUG( ) BITE and that is wrong. Jeanette passes in her final free spin for another turn.
Jeanette looks kind of strangely at the puzzle and then proceeds to buy a vowel. She wants an O. There is One O. $15700 dollars remaining.
She wants to attempt to solve again.
D O N ' T L E T T H E
B E D B _ _ _ B _ T E
PHRASE
This time Jeanette solves DON'T LET........ THE......... BEDBUGS........ BITE. And this time Jeanette is right! $15700 dollars!!
The show will go to commercial and we will find out how Jeanette spends that $15700 dollars after Wheel of Fortune returns.
Jeanette started with a Balance multi-chair worth $195 dollars. Then she went on to buy a Mantle Clock for $425 dollars. Next, she bought a typewriter, the value of that being $449 dollars. After that, she bought 30 square feet of carpet. That's worth $650 dollars. She also bought a Hide-abed worth $799 dollars. And finally, it's the big one. A Ford Thunderbird!
