Airdate: October 1987 (not 5th-9th)

Look at this studio filled with fabulous prizes including...

A ski boat
A fur jacket
A $48,000 Jaguar sedan

...plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $180,000 just waiting to be won on, as we continue the Big Month of Cash!

Wheel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Rhonda Izel (?): Clerk typist with the county clerk's office, Louisville, KY
Patt Carney: Single, is a teacher in Fairfax County and invents, from Herndon, VA
Jay Chuty (?): Graduate from University of Arizona, works for a major publishing company, from New York City

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, and we are playing for cash, so let's get to our first puzzle:

Round 1

THING

Jay solves RECOMMENDED DAILY ALLOWANCE.

Rhonda	Patt	Jay (FS)

The staff will get theirs for rushing to this without a commercial: Presenting an Edwards Lowell golden frost mink jacket (labeled FUR) worth $3,500.

We have added a $2,500 space to the Wheel for Round 2:

Round 2

$900		$900

PHRASE

Jay solves TO BORROW AN OLD CLICHE.

Rhonda	Patt	Jay (FS)
		$4,450

Well, this gave them all the time they needed to introduce another prize: Lynne Deutch Sterling silver flatware (labeled SILVER) worth $4,906.

(The Wheel is heard being spun to the proper position to introduce the prize.)

Finally! The $5,000 is free from its little trap and here for Round 4:

Round 4

PHRASE

RHONDA	Patt	Jay (FS)
$900: S (DUD!)	$1,500: T BANKRUPT! ($1,500)	$1,500: H $900: R (DUD!)
		$1,500
$500: N (x2) $500: L
$1,500

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

The cliché wasn't quite taken to that level, but Pat still has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$600 a piece.

Rhonda: D ($2,100)
Patt: G (DUD!)
Jay: M ($2,100)
Rhonda: E ($2,700)
Patt: F (DUD!)
Jay: C ($2,700)

PHRASE

Jay SWEEPS THE GAME by solving IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

Rhonda	Patt	Jay (...)
		$7,150

We seem to have spun out, but miraculously Jay finished with something. Rhonda and Patt will take home the nice parting gifts.

The Free Spin rubs in his somewhat low score for a sweep.

BONUS ROUND:

Jay could try for much more here. He could pick...
A Jaguar
Emerald and diamond ear clips
A trip around the world
A ski boat
Remember the month...cash! ($25,000)

And he picks the Jaguar XJ6 ($48,373). Will he succeed with this puzzle?

Bonus Puzzle

QUOTATION

It may work with the well-enforced TRLNSE:

QUOTATION

With five seconds remaining, Jay solves PEOPLE WHO NEED PEOPLE to COMPLETE THE SWEEP and finish with a much bigger total of $55,523!
