From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
We're about to wrap up Superstars of Sports Week, but we're not done yet! Say hello to the three top winners (and Hall of Famers!):
Phil Esposito! (Up to $11,000 for American Foundation for Age Research)
Bill Walton! (Up to $27,470 for Rex Foundation and Ex-NBA Players Association)
Dick Butkus! (Up to $29,200 for Serra Retreat Center)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Looking for #1 starting with Round 1:
Phil tried to pick up the Free Spin token before calling a letter.
After Bill tried to dodge his lost turn, Pat exclaimed "You kids behave!" to the trio.
Phil solves MOTTO OF THE UNITED STATES. Can he identify it for a $500 bonus?
Total silence. Could it be for Bill?
Yes. He identifies it as In God we trust.
What could our contestants rush for this time? A Chevrolet Geo Metro convertible (labeled CAR) worth $10,954!
Remember that there's still the $2,500 space set up for this round:
After Phil repeats the D, he appears to drop an "S-bomb" that got censored. Dick is howling with laughter!
Bill solves JOE NAMATH WINS THE SUPER BOWL to win the car!
Phil could at least try to catch up with the $5,000 space.
DING DING! DING DING!
The final period must end soon, so Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin now. Consonants are worth...$250 a piece.
Bill: A (x3) ($2,350)
Dick: P (x3) ($750)
Just after the buzzer, Dick says APRIL IN & PLASTER ON PARIS.
Phil: F ($1,900)
Phil solves APRIL IN & PLASTER OF PARIS.
Phil finishes with $15,300 for his charity, while Dick finishes with $29,200.
BONUS ROUND:
Bill wheeled right into that one. Now for a win in Bonus Land.
He picks the second E. The final puzzle had better not throttle him down...
RSTLNE gives him...
His choices will be MCDO:
He solves MADONNA...
...which earns his charity $25,000! He has finished with a total of $63,924 for both him and his charities!
