I felt bored today, and without new Wheel, I decided to take a peek at international versions of Wheel. I decided just to recap this episode without even learning a single word in French, besides cheese omelette. Enjoy me butchering every single fact about this show!
OAD: October 9, 1989? (date came from a YouTube comment and the uploader generally agreeing, so I don't know if that's set in stone or not
On tonight's show, we have on our carousel merchendise totaling over 278000 F. This includes...
...a set of leather accessories that will please him and her worth 15000 F from claude gerard!
...a special Treca electronic bed worth 45000 F that can be adjusted to the ideal position for maximum comfort!
...and here's your host: Christian Morin!
Hostess: Annie Pujol
There is some chat about a "voucher" or about them appearing in some tabloid.
Here are today's contestants! (no clue about the last names, sorry, and Google Translate is useless in getting their chat)
Marie-Pierre (stylized M. Pierre on the nametag)
Jean-Yves (Stylized J. Yves) is some type of agent? And likes to study game statistics.
Francois has just received his engineering degree, and before he moves on, he wants to relax.

Marie-Pierre gets 4500 F from an L, 7000 F from 2 S's on 3500 F, buys 4 E's (which cost 2000 F), 2000 F from a D, but has to PASSE her turn to Jean-Yves

Jean-Yves gets 1500 F from an N, lands on Relance (which acts as their equivilant of a Free Spin wedge if I'm reading correctly, so he gets one free mistake), spins again, gets 5000 F from 2 T's on 2500 F, 3500 F from a P, but duds with an M on 1500 F. Good thing he landed on the free space earlier, and spins again, but this time duds with a V on 2500 F.

...and solves LES CONTES DU CHAT PERCHE (The Tales of the Perched Cat, written by Marcel Aymé, were a series of stories written between 1934 and 1946, which are for children "aged 4 to 75 years" according to the author) for 16500 F. With that,
-6500 F | His & Her Watches | 8500 F remaining
-7900 F | Bed (Furnished with four drawers, from meublena) | Stops with 600 F left in playable money.
Unlike the U.S. version, where money goes straight "on account", unspent money goes directly into your round score for the next round. Son, the unspent money technically is never part of your winnings unless you win the following round.
