Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts! Fabulous merchandise including...
A $27,000 diamond and emerald ring
A one-week Brazilian holiday
A $29,000 Corvette
Over $132,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Michael Macquarie: Paramedic, Santee, CA
Sandy Wise: Grandmother and newspaper typesetter, Carlinville, IL
Karen Baldwin: Elementary school music teacher, Spokane, WA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Karen solves PORKY PIG.
For stuttering through a round like that, we'll add a prize: a Van Cleef and Arpels furnished man's 18-karat gold ring (labeled RING) worth $8,900.
Perfection! Sandy solves ALL DECKED OUT IN YOUR SUNDAY BEST.
For the best result, try and hit the $5,000 space. Oh, and a correct letter will help too.
(Sort of) Perfection! Karen solves MADISON SQUARE GARDEN.
(After a commercial break...)
That's all, folks!
Michael was kept silent after Round 1. As a result, he leaves with only the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:
From west to east, she looks at the prizes. Karen decides to go for...
Chevrolet Corvette ($29,976).
The final puzzle is...
It's the everyday LNRSTE for Karen:
She immediately guesses STRAWBERRY PIE. With a few seconds left, she guesses STRAWBERRY, pauses, then says JAM just after the buzzer. After consulting the staff, her solve of STRAWBERRY JAM is accepted! She leaves with a superb total of $41,726!
