Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A 1-week adventure in Hong Kong!
A $10,000 diamond and emerald bracelet!
A $13,000 sports coupe!
Over $74,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Jenea Lemite (?): Mother of three, from San Diego, CA
Kevin Tucker: Software salesman, from San Diego, CA
Lucy Bilderback: Mother and grandmother who does everything (volunteers for the Red Cross; makes candy, stuffed animals, and stained glass; and writes poetry)
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!
Jenea solves CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
This is a prize you can't just buy. You have to spin for it! This prize is a Chinese jade perfume bottle (labeled JADE) worth $1,500.
Jenea solves CUT TO THE QUICK.
That round was really slow. We need some quick money from the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
Yeah, that was gonna happen. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Kevin: T ($500)
Lucy: M ($500)
Lucy quickly solves BARGAIN BASEMENT.
