Airdate: May 1984? (Taped in April)
Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $13,000 Harley-Davidson (Pat and Vanna not included; Jack laughs as soon as he sees them)
A $18,000 diamond bracelet
A $23,000 Lincoln Town Car
Over $106,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Betty Garrett: Homemaker and mother of two, from Columbus, OH
Debbie Larkin: Homemaker and mother of three, from St. Louis, MO
David Fanning: 3rd-year student at University of Arizona studying mechanical engineering, from Green Valley, AZ
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Debbie solves ASTROLOGICAL FORECAST.
A good list of prizes, but why not try to win one more? Debbie could claim a trip to Hong Kong and 1-week stay at Holiday Inn Golden Mile (labeled TRIP) worth $4,328.
David reads what's on the board.
Somehow, all this gambling must end early? Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece. David will begin.
David: R (x2) ($3,000)
Betty: N ($1,500)
Debbie: C ($1,500)
Debbie solves RICK SPRINGFIELD to protect her victory.
Betty's day could have gone better. She will be leaving with some nice parting gifts.
