Season 2 - (Shannon/Larry/Meryl) recap

Airdate: Feb-Jun 1985 (after Mary/Dan/Marianne)

Look at this studio filled with glamorous and imaginative gifts! Fabulous merchandise including...

A one-week Mediterranean cruise
A $4,800 topaz studded gold cuff bracelet
A $11,000 Oldsmobile Calais

Over $109,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Shannon Kennedy (male): Married, is an economics assistant unit supervisor at the welfare department, Minneapolis, MN
Larry Toth: Single, is a travel agent (originally from Canton, OH)
Meryl Gruber: Sales representative (mostly gift/clothing/stationery), moving back to NY in two weeks

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash (Oh geez!), but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!


Meryl reads what's on the board.



A prize will spring into action. we bring out a Gucci furnished 18-karat gold and diamond ring (labeled RING) worth $4,000. Return the favor by picking it up in this round:


Meryl solves LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL.



Again, there's still hope for the two men here. Furthermore, one of them could hit the $5,000 space.


Larry solves THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE.



We're nearly out of time, meaning Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin, and we play for a Tiffany gift certificate. Consonants are worth...$5,000 a piece! Shannon begins:

Shannon: T (x2) ($10,000)

Shannon guesses CAT SEAT.

Larry: N ($5,000)

Larry guesses HOT PAINT. *Painfully* close.

Meryl: W ($5,000)

Meryl solves WET PAINT for $5,000 and her extra dollars for $5,279 towards a gift certificate.


One spin too many, as can happen. Shannon leaves with some nice parting gifts.





BONUS ROUND:

Another $5,000 spin, but Meryl pulls it off anyway, and now she chooses...

One-week Mediterranean cruise ($7,850).

The final puzzle is...

For her combo, she chooses NTRSDE:

And that makes three for three. She is one letter off with JAR OF SOAP (perhaps liquid soap?), but does not get to BAR OF SOAP. She still leaves with $9,800 in prizes.
