Airdate: February 1, 1991

(The intro is cut out of the source video. Gameplay remains almost completely intact.)

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

Today's contestants:
Debb Mosenegro (?) (returning with a 1-day total of $18,600)
Connie Gruendig (?): Part-time piano teacher and wedding coordinator
John Duarte: Waiter and screenplay writer (originally from New Orleans, LA)

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

Round 1

PERSON/TITLE

DEBB	Connie	John
$400: N (x2) -$250: I (x2) Free Spin: T $200: S -$250: E (x3) $450: R (x3) -$250: O (x4) $200: B $200: L (x2) $200: F $400: D (x2) Solve: Correct!
$3,200

PERSON/TITLE

Perfection! Debb solves ROBERT DE NIRO IN GOODFELLAS.

Debb (FS)	Connie	John
$3,200

Connie will now get a chance at the Wheel as well as a prize! We have a trip to Mexico and 6-night stay at Fiesta Inn San Jose Del Cabo, plus 5-piece T. Anthony luggage (labeled MEXICO) worth $2,680.

You might have to fill that luggage with extra cash if you hit the $2,500 space.

Round 2

PHRASE

Debb (FS)	CONNIE	John
	$900: T (x4) $800: L (DUD!)	$250: Y (x2) Lose A Turn!
	$3,600	$500
$300: R $2,500: G (DUD!) (Free Spin used) $750: P (x2) -$250: E (x2) MEXICO: N (x2) -$250: A -$250: I -$250: O Lose A Turn!	Solve: Correct!
$800+	$3,600

Vanna forgets the fourth T after it is lit up, and she runs to reveal it!

PHRASE

Connie solves IT COST A PRETTY PENNY.

Debb	Connie	John
$3,200	$3,600

What about pennies? The $3,500 space is no penny! It can get you really far!

Round 3

CLUE

(The source video starts one letter into the round, but nothing else would come close to the "spin pattern" for the first spin.)

Debb	Connie	JOHN
		$500: R (x2) $600: T $150: N (x2) $800: D (x2) -$250: A (x2) -$250: I -$250: O (DUD!)
		$2,750
$550: L (DUD!)	$500: P (DUD!)	$250: G $200: S -$250: E (x3) Solve: Correct!
		$2,950

CLUE

John solves EATING HER CURDS AND WHEY. Can he eat up a $500 bonus for answering the clue?

He can! It's Little Miss Muffet.

Debb	Connie	John
$3,200	$3,600	$3,450

This match is way too close, so this prize is more important! It's a gold ring with diamond and emerald (labeled RING) worth $7,200!

Oh, and there's also a $5,000 space on the Wheel. Pretty much anything could get you ahead.

Round 4

PHRASE

DEBB	Connie	John
BANKRUPT! ($0)	RING: T (x3) $700: H (x2) -$250: E (x3) -$250: A $350: S -$250: O $550: Y -$250: U $900: R (x2) $800: F Solve: Correct!
	$3,900+

PHRASE

Connie solves I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME to keep the ring!

Debb	Connie	John
$3,200	$14,700	$3,450

I hear we have time for another round!

Round 5

THING

DING DING! DING DING!

But we also heard the bells, so Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $300 a piece. Connie starts.

Connie: T (x2) ($600)
John: N (DUD!)
Debb: S ($300)
Connie: R (x2) ($1,200)
John: P (DUD!)
Debb: H (x2) ($900)

THING

Debb solves GREAT WHITE SHARK.

Debb	Connie	John
$4,100	$14,700	$3,450

Debb leaves with a 2-day total of $22,700 in cash.

BONUS ROUND:

It's Connie's turn in Bonus Land! Would she like to win one of these prizes?

Mercedes 300 E (over $47,000)
Born Free President motorhome (over $46,000)
Good ol' American cash ($25,000)

Connie must solve this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

CDMO is somewhat useful.

THING

She guesses DECK CORNER and DECK CEDAR, but she does not solve DECK CHAIR.

Connie still has $14,700 in cash and ring, and she'll be coming back!

(Due to the editing, we don't know which envelope was picked or what was even inside. Other than a few cuts, the game is complete.)
