From Hollywood, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!

Today's contestants:

Barbara Farrington: Budget analyst with the Department of Energy, from Forestville, MD
Marilyn Richardson: Management consultant, Denver, CO (originally from Las Cruces, NM)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and let's begin our first puzzle:

Round 1

$450: T $200: S $900: R BANKRUPT! ($1,550)	$1,000: N $200: C (x2) $200: Y $300: P Solve: Correct!
	$1,900

PHRASE

Barbara solves CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET.

Peter	Barbara	Marilyn

Time to bring it out of hiding...our prize is an Iris Arc Crystal "Enchanted Castle" (labeled CRYSTAL) worth $1,500.

And it's no secret that we've got a $2,500 space on the Wheel. Someone could win big!

Round 2
