From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants (all male):
Art Dutra: Married, is a distribution engineer for a local municipal power company, South Meriden, CT
Cliff Corbin: Married, is an industry training co-ordinatior for the nation's premiere vocational training facility, Bessie, OK
Jim Loan (?) (Returning with a 1-day total of $5,350)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and we hope for huge winnings from the start.
Jim quickly solves SLIPPED ON A BANANA PEEL.
At least take the time to look at this prize. It's a Jules Jurgensen gold and diamond quartz watch (labeled WATCH) worth $3,420.
But I don't need to remind him about the $2,500 space!
Perfection! Cliff solves I HATE TO SEE A GROWN MAN CRY. Pat then jokes they're playing so fast because they have Jeopardy! auditions coming up.
So happy that you could cry? Can you resist looking at the $3,500 space?
Jim solves BRAINS AND BRAWN.
Get it just right, and you could win a Greek Island cruise and holiday (labeled CRUISE) worth $10,236.
It's still anybody's game with the $5,000 space on the Wheel:
(After the G, Cliff asks to buy a repeated A, but Pat simply says he doesn't have enough money.)
(Jim didn't pick up the CRUISE wedge, instead opting to solve immediately.
Jim solves GLAMOUR PUSS IN BOOTS to keep the cruise.
Unsurprisingly, we have time for another round:
Art solves SNEEZING FITS. Just in time, too.
BONUS ROUND:
This time, it's a good total for Jim no matter what. We could increase it with any of...
Pearl and diamond necklace ($18,000)
Trip to France ($19,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)
Jim will pick the W. Things should work out with this final puzzle:
RSTLNE gives him...
He will ride with BMCA:
After six seconds of silence, he solves CHILL OUT...
...to warm up to a trip to France worth $19,200! Golly, did that make things better for him, with a new total of $44,236!
During the post-game, Pat and Vanna say hello to the managers behind TV stations carrying Wheel, and they happen to be in the audience with family!
The Wheel home edition is promoted after the chat.
