Season 5 - (Deb/Art/Amy) recap

Airdate: November 1987

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

A $9,000 mink coat
A $25,000 pair of Harley-Davidsons
A $61,000 Porsche

...plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $241,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Deb Weaver: Married, is a sales representative in the office supply industry, Island Lake, IL
Art Churno: Color separation salesman for a medium-sized company, Cliffside Park, NJ
Amy Colladian (?): Married, is a financial services representative for a major savings and loan association, Pembroke Pines, FL

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


Deb solves RACKING MY BRAINS.


I think we should add a prize now. It's a DIA curio collection (labeled CURIO) worth $6,370.

We have added a $2,500 space to the Wheel!


Amy solves DETECTIVE AGENCY.


The top-dollar value is $3,500 for Round 3!



We will try another prize. How about a Dicker and Dicker silver cross mink coat (labeled FUR) worth $9,500?

How about some extra cash too? We max it out with the $5,000 space...



Deb solves MOUTH-TO-MOUTH RESUSCITATION.


Can she really recover with one more round?

DING DING! DING DING!

It depends on Pat as he gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$200 a piece. Art starts:

Art: N (DUD!)
Amy: T (x2) ($400)
Deb: M (DUD!)
Art: D ($200)

Art solves IT HAD TO BE YOU.






BONUS ROUND:

Not the way she hoped, but she still made it here. Now she can pick...
A Porsche
A Boat
His/Hers motorcycles
A necklace
How about some more cash? ($25,000)

She wants some more cash and could earn it from this puzzle:

It's that route again. She picks STRLNE:

Those compound words. She does not solve STEAMSHIP and leaves with $4,350.
