From Hollywood, it's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Well, contestant interviews were not included in the available footage.
Today's new players are Joe, Maureen, and Elaine!
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and we start with this puzzle:
Maureen solves WORKING OVERTIME.
Phew. We didn't need tthe puzzle to turn into that. Now let's hurry and add an Oneida silver 48-piece service (labeled SILVER) worth $4,352.
You deserve more for your efforts, so we'll put a $2,500 space on the Wheel.
Pat accidentally says there is no H in the puzzle before correcting himself. I don't know how he'd make that mistake (instead of the opposite) when a possible THE was waiting to be completed.
Maureen solves A NIGHT UNDER THE STARS.
Grab a few of these sparkles from the $3,500 space!
Joe solves SAN FRANCISCO'S FISHERMAN'S WHARF for a great catch!
Not quite as big of a catch, but you might like it. We have added a Fred Joaillier ladie's sports watch (labeled WATCH) worth $5,200.
And guess who is still in control?
Good thing he dudded on T in this round instead of the last one.
Sparkles...a while back Joe stole the whole wedge. Should $5,000 be nervous?
The WATCH is still on the Wheel.
DING DING! DING DING!
It's almost time to head back home, but Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth...$900 a piece.
Maureen: K (DUD!)
Elaine: H (x2) ($1,800)
Elaine tries to spin the Wheel before calling a letter.
Elaine solves HOT FRENCH BREAD.
BONUS ROUND:
We know Joe has a lot already, but he's not gonna stop. We still have jewelry and a convertible.
He'll go with the L, but can he solve this?
RSTLNE gives him...
He head towards KCGI:
Several RING guesses, but he does not solve DIAMOND RING...
...keeping him away from the convertible. But he still has $27,500 in cash, and he could try again next time!
Pat and Vanna talk about the many international versions of Wheel during the post-game, even saying this version also airs in Bangkok.
