Airdate: September 14, 1994

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

Today's contestants:
Carolyn Genari (returning with a 1-day total of $30,100)
Jim Koudelka: Piano and voice teacher, also composes; from Lincoln, NE
Wayne Palmer: Currently a student at New York University, from Brooklyn

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

Round 1

CLUE

CAROLYN	Jim	Wayne
$400: T (x2) BANKRUPT! ($800)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$350: R (x2) $900: C (x2) $200: N (DUD!)
		$2,500
$200: H (x2) $400: L (x3) -$250: O (x3) BANKRUPT! ($1,350)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$350: W (DUD!)
		$2,500
$250: F BANKRUPT! ($250)	SURPRISE: S $250: M Solve: Correct!
	$250+

CLUE

Jim solves SIT COME HEEL ROLL OVER & FETCH. He can add $500 more if he answers the clue.

He knows it's "things you tell a dog" (dog commands/tricks).

He may now stay and listen to this...his Surprise is a Michael C. Fina full-length cultured pearl necklace with 14-karat gold clasp worth $3,995.

Carolyn	Jim	Wayne
	$4,745

Watch as this prize comes over! We have a Wild West vacation at Vee Bar Ranch plus a ride on the Wyoming/Colorado Excursion Train (labeled WYOMING) worth $4,100.

The Wheel doesn't respond well to tricks, so hitting that $2,500 space could be a challenge.

Round 2

PHRASE

Carolyn	JIM	Wayne
	$200: T (x3) $450: N (x2) -$250: E (x4) $800: H -$250: A -$250: O $700: R (x2) -$250: U (x2) BANKRUPT! ($2,700)	$900: D $700: F Free Spin: S (x3) -$250: I $350: C (x3) Solve: Correct!
		$2,400

PHRASE

Wayne solves UNDER THE BEST OF CIRCUMSTANCES.

Carolyn	Jim	Wayne (FS)
		$2,400

Even in the best of circumstances, you might worry about a bad spin. Don't let that keep you from the $3,500 space!

This is also a Red Letter Puzzle! You can unscramble some letters for some extra cash!

Round 3

PHRASE

Carolyn	Jim	WAYNE (FS)
		$400: N $1,000: T $400: S (DUD!)
		$1,400
$500: L (x2) $800: D (DUD!)	$250: G BANKRUPT! ($250)	$700: H (DUD!)
$1,000		$1,400
$600: R $500: C (DUD!)	$300: W (DUD!)	-$250: I (x2) -$250: E (x4) Lose A Turn! (Free Spin used) $550: M (x2) Solve: Correct!
$1,600		$2,000

PHRASE

Wayne solves MY FEET ARE KILLING ME. Time to kill the lights and give him a chance at a $1,000 bonus. Unscramble the letters!

He instantly unscrambles it as FILM.

Carolyn	Jim	Wayne
	$4,745	$5,400

Due to a mix of reasons, we're running overtime. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $500 a piece. Carolyn starts!

Jim: L (DUD!)
Wayne: T ($500)

DGMI could do more...

Pat introduces Vanna as she brings out baby Nicholas! Vanna says he almost knows almost all of his alphabet.
