Well, it's a little late, but better late than never. Here is one of the remaining Christmas recaps I have yet to release.
A little note about this episode before you start reading this recap. The source for this recap cuts out during the Bonus Round, and whether the contestant correctly solved the puzzle or not is currently not known. If you have information on this, I would appreciate it if you could post on this thread or message me. If the bonus round result not being known bothers you, then I would advise you not to read this recap to avoid the potential disappointment.
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Opening:
Jack: “Look at this studio, filled with glamorous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise! Including: This unique $3,500 dollar (Missing description because source's audio goes wonky) Jacket. For the grown up, that hasn't quite grown up, this adorable gold teddy bear. And discover luxury (Same thing), in this $21,000 dollar Toronado! Over $90,000 dollars just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune! And now here's your host, Pat Sajak!”
Introductions:
John Gordon – From Boston, Massachusetts. And John is wearing the exact same suit as Pat! (Kind of reminds me of the blooper from the 90's where Pat says it looks like he's in a car dealership commercial) John tells Pat that they both have good tastes. He works as a supervisor in something... (Once again, source is just so bad for audio I can't make it out) Studying part time for his Bachelor's degree in accounting.
Larry Johnson – From Glendale, Arizona. He's the manager of some company... (Once again...) Enjoys off-road racing and sports.
Peggy Wrestler – From somewhere in Washington... Lives on a farm and has a big family, whom all make noise in the audience and are shown on camera after they make some noise.
Game Spiel:
Pat: “$1000 dollars is the top dollar for this round, try not to hit Bankrupt because if you do, you lose your cash but not your merchandise, because once you buy a farm, it's yours to keep.”
ROUND ONE
' _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
QUOTATION
John drew number one backstage which gives him the right to spin first.
SPIN 1- It's the red $150 for the first spin. And there's some S's. Three of them to be precise. That's $450 dollars.
SPIN 2- John does a little better this time, he falls just short of $1000 dollars and lands on $500. He wants a T, and he'll get another trio of letters. That's $1950 dollars already!
SPIN 3- He goes past the $1000 this time, but I don't think he'll be too disappointed, he lands on a big $800 dollars. He wants an H, and one H will give him an extra $800 for a total of $2750 dollars.
He's going to buy an E for $250 dollars, and he'll get a couple. $2500 dollars remains.
SPIN 4- He'll go past bankrupt and lands on $250 dollars a couple of spaces afterwards. He calls an N, and gets an N. Back to $2750. He seems to know it, but he'll spin on.
SPIN 5- John goes past the $900, and lands on $250. He calls an L, and there's one L, and another L. That brings him up to $3250 dollars. He still wants more money, so he'll go once more.
SPIN 6- John lands on the yellow $200. And he calls a J. Yup. One J. $3450 dollars.
John wants to solve the puzzle.

S E _ S _ N T _
_ E J _ L L _
QUOTATION
And predictably, John solves 'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY for a big round one total of $3450 dollars!
PERFECT ROUND
John gets to spend it all in the camping centre. For $490, he'll start off with the man's watch. Just under $3000 dollars left. For $260 he'll get an AM/FM cassette recorder, for $408 dollars he'll get some nice luggage. Still over $2300 to spend. $352 will get him the camping package. $1940 left. For $980 dollars, it's going to be a motor scooter. $1080 to go. $400 dollars for some his and her sweaters. $680 now. For $135 he buys a black and white television. He still has $545 dollars. For $279, John gets a portable electric keyboard. $266 dollars will go on an American Express gift certificate. And a lot of prizes for Jack to describe.
John - $3450
Larry – Has yet to spin
Peggy – Ditto
ROUND TWO
$1000 dollars is still the top dollar value, but there's something else on the wheel too. Jack gives the details.
Jack: “You'll receive a Tiffany gift certificate in which you might choose this man's 18-carat gold ring with very large round black onyx centre. $1,575 dollars!
It's marked Ring on the Wheel. There's also another Bankrupt.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
Larry will finally get a chance to spin, as he will start Round 2.
SPIN 1- And Larry wastes no time hitting the good stuff, it's going to be that Ring! He'll pick that prize up and place it on his arrow, and there's $150 dollars underneath. He'll call a T and he gets four of them! That's $600 dollars + The Prize.
SPIN 2- Larry lands on the red $500 and calls an N. There's one N. That's $1100 dollars + Prize.
SPIN 3- And it's going to be the red $500 again. Larry wants an R. But there are no R's. That means Peggy gets her first spin of the day.
SPIN 4- Peggy passes the $1000 and lands on the red $300 a couple spaces after it. She calls an S. But Peggy gets unlucky on her first turn, no S.
SPIN 5- John spins it and almost lands on Bankrupt, but stops right before hitting it and lands on $250. John calls L, and John will find an L. $250 dollars.
SPIN 6- John passes that Bankrupt this time and lands on the yellow $400 next to it. He calls a K. There's no K. Back to Larry.
SPIN 7- Larry has a knack for it, and he lands on the red $500. He calls a D. There's none. Peggy's turn.
SPIN 8- And this time it will be...... $1000 dollars! She hopes to find a V and she finds one. That's $1000 dollars.
SPIN 9- It's going to be the orange $200. She calls a C. And there is a C. $1200 dollars.
SPIN 10- Peggy keeps looking at the wrong arrow, and thinks she's hit Bankrupt, but it's the yellow $400. She wants a W. And she'll get one W. That's $1600 dollars.
SPIN 11- Peggy calls the proverbial “one more” and spins it. And Peggy almost lands on Lose a Turn, but stops short to land on $450. And she'll call the final consonant, an H. And there's one. That's a total of $2050 dollars.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Peggy will solve it.
C _ N ' T L _ V _
W _ T H _ _ T _ T
PHRASE
Peggy solves CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU.... oh dear.... that's not right.
It goes over to John, who has $250, and there are only vowels left so it's buy a vowel, or solve.
John solves CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT for $250 dollars.
John will take that $250 and for $185 he'll buy the perfume and scented accessories. That leaves the remaining $65 dollars for a gift certificate.
Duds: R (Larry), S (Peggy), K (John), D ( Larry),
DQ: Peggy
John - $3700
Larry – Zip
Peggy – Ouch...
ROUND THREE
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
THING
The third player starts round three, and wouldn't you know... it's Peggy! A chance for redemption. She will spin.
SPIN 1- It's going to be $350. Peggy calls a T, but there aren't any T's. John will spin.
SPIN 2- It's coming up on $5000 dollars..... but it will pass it and land on the yellow $300 right after it. John calls an R, but there is no R. It's over to Larry.
SPIN 3- Larry spins it, and it's going to pass Lose a Turn and land on the tan $350. He calls an N, and there's one, worth $350 dollars.
SPIN 4- The wheel will stop just before Lose a Turn this time and land on the red $200. He calls an S. No S. Peggy gets a crack at the Wheel.
SPIN 5- Peggy lands on $400 dollars. She calls an L, but she won't get just one, she'll get another as well, and that's $800 dollars.
SPIN 6- The wheel will land on the yellow $400 again. Peggy calls a G. There's a G. $1200 dollars.
SPIN 7- A nice amount this time, $900 dollars. She calls an H, and there's one up there. $2100 dollars. Peggy makes the first vowel purchase of the day (Oddly enough in Round 3), and buys an E. There's one E. Down to $1850. She purchases an O as well. But there's no O. Still costs $250, bringing her down to $1600 and John gets to spin.
SPIN 8- John passes the Bankrupt and lands on $600 dollars. He wants a D, but the puzzle contains no D's. It's Larry's turn.
SPIN 9- Larry calls “Big money” but will only get $300 dollars. He calls an M, and there's a couple of them for $600 more. That's $950 dollars.
SPIN 10- And Larry spins it.... but a Bankrupt will wipe out his cash. Peggy gets a valuable opportunity. She has $1600 in front of her.
SPIN 11- Peggy wants to go for another spin. It's the red $250. She calls a B. There's one B. $1850 dollars.
Peggy will solve it.
G _ M B _ L L
M _ _ _ H _ N E
THING
Peggy redeems herself by solving GUMBALL MACHINE for $1850 dollars!
That money will all be spent in the family room. She starts spending it in a big way, for $1329, she wants the Colour TV! A little over $500 to go. For $453 she buys some carpeting. And the remaining $68 dollars will go on a gift certificate.
Duds: T (Peggy), R (John), S (Larry), O (Peggy), D (John)
Bankrupt: Larry ($950)
John - $3700
Larry – Nothing yet
Peggy - $1850
ROUND FOUR
Not much time left, Pat will give the wheel a final spin of day, vowels will be worth nothing, and consonants will be worth a tidy sum of $800 dollars a piece!

Larry calls an S. No S.

Duds: S (Larry), R (Peggy), L (John), M (John), H (or A) (Larry), C (Peggy), P (John)
FINAL TALLY
John - $3700
Larry - $1600

(Mega...) THING

S _ R E _ _ R _ _ E R
THING
And the video cuts out during the 15 seconds timer. I'm not sure what the solution is (Although I'm sure someone here could assist me with that), or whether John won the bonus prize or not.
