Last time, I decided to give you some freedom, which... not a lot of you took advantage of. April 11th, if you want to know what pain you didn't choose. This time, I decided to go shopping, all the way back from Season 2.
Air Date: September 12, 1984
Look at this studio, filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous and exciting merchendise, including this... You can keep up with the fitness craze in your own $12,000 spa showcase! And for those special occasions, $1,300 crystal stemware, and experience precise road preformance in this $11,000 sports car! Over $84,000 just waiting to be won on WHEEL OF FORTUNE! And now, here's your host... Pat Sajak!
Here are today's contestants:
Marsha Coin is from St. Louis, MO. Has 2 children, aged 11 and 8, and going back to school at the University of Missouri, studying accounting
Leslie Swang is from Rowley, MA. Interviewed at a hotel in Boston. Works in a Boat Marina. Studying for captain's license.
Jerry Johnson is from Fort Lauderdale, FL. Salesman for air carrier, one child (Also interviewed at a hotel.)
Alright, let's start out the night. As always, I apologize if I mention the color and value of a wedge, but there are two on the actual wheel.
