Airdate: Late 1988

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A cuddly mink jacket!
The ultimate sports ticket package!
A shiny Corvette!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $266,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Pat Chase (female): Office manager for a hair salon owned and operated by her brother, from Kingsport, TN
Laura Antony: Expectant mother with twins on the way, from Rowlett, TX
Otis Evans: Resume writer, hopes to start his own business to help people write resumes; from Tempe, AZ

Pat pronounces Tempe as "Tempay" instead of "Tempee", and then he mentions Otis is a "Resumee" writer.

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

Round 1

PHRASE

PAT	Laura	Otis
$250: T $250: D $200: N (x2) -$250: O $150: H (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	$700: R $1,000: W $250: K Solve: Correct!
$650		$1,950

PHRASE

Otis solves WALK DON'T RUN.

Pat	Laura	Otis
		$1,950

We'll walk over to get our next prize: A Dicker & Dicker white mink dinner jacket (labeled FUR) worth $5,000.

We add a $2,500 space to the Wheel so that the money can come rushing in.

Round 2

PHRASE

Pat	LAURA	Otis
	$200: T $400: S (x2) $2,500: N (x4!) -$250: I (x3) -$250: O (x3) -$250: E (x3) $300: C $300: D (x3) $750: R (x3) -$250: U -$250: A $900: V Lose A Turn!	$200: G $800: W Solve: Correct!
	$14,100	$1,000

PHRASE

Otis solves WORKING UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS.

Pat	Laura	Otis
		$2,950

Clearly, that's not the best that we can do. We must take everything we can get from the $3,500 space!

Round 3

SAME NAME

Pat says his two favorite things are having a root canal and saying the next category is Same Name.

Pat	Laura	OTIS
		$200: N (x3) $300: D (x3) -$250: A (x2) $800: Y (DUD!)
		$1,250
$250: L (DUD!)	$3,500: G -$250: I (x3) -$250: U -$250: E $200: R (DUD!)	$500: T $450: V Solve: Correct!
	$2,750	$2,200

SAME NAME

Otis reads what's on the board.

Pat	Laura	Otis
		$5,150

We check our never ending list of prizes, and this one comes next! It's a Krementz 18-karat gold and diamond necklace (labeled JEWELS) worth $9,450.

Laura still has another chance with a $5,000 space on the Wheel!

Round 4

PHRASE

PAT	Laura	Otis
BANKRUPT! ($0)	$600: T (x4) $350: S (x2) -$250: I (DUD!)	$500: N (DUD!)
	$3,200
$900: L (DUD!)	JEWELS! $300: R (x2) -$250: E (x2)
	$3,550+

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

This is becoming too much. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $900 a piece.

Laura: H (x3) ($5,900+)

PHRASE

Laura guesses AT EACH OTHER'S THROATS...and that guess makes her the big winner!

Pat	Laura	Otis
	$14,350	$5,150

Laura finally had her round, but Pat had no chance after the first one. She takes the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

After too much trouble, Laura is the big winner! It's time for her to look at...

Log cabin kit ($59,000)

Corvette convertible

Sporting events package

Saab 9000 Turbo

Necklace ($55,000)

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

Laura might need a moment, but after that, she picks...

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

She's gotta solve one more puzzle...

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

DPCO only gives her a few letters.

She instantly solves CREW CUT to keep the cash! Laura leaves with $40,350 in cash and jewelry!

In the post-game, Pat wonders if Vanna would like to have kids someday...
