Airdate: January 4, 1993

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

Today's contestants:
Arsenia Flournoy Eagan: Teaches gifted and talented education for Clark County, from Las Vegas, NV
Rick Singer: Writer of...really anything (maybe graffiti, as Pat suspects), from New York
Jenny Obringer (returning with a 1-day total of $10,100)

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

Round 1

FILL IN THE BLANK

Perfection! Arsenia solves IF YOU CAN'T STAND ? GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN. Let's put a $500 bonus on top, shall we? Time to fill in the blank!

She completes it with the heat.

Pat later realized that Arsenia was shouting B.M. for "Big Money".

Arsenia	Rick	Jenny
$7,600

Things are already heating up as we add a prize. This one is a holiday at Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club in Carmel, California (labeled CARMEL) worth $4,401.

Rick already has a lot of work to do, so the pressure is on to hit that $2,500 space.

Round 2

CLUE

Double perfection! Rick solves COUNTERFEIT DOCUMENTS. He also has a bonus opportunity. $500 more if he can answer the clue!

He keeps it perfect with forgery (or forgeries).

Arsenia	Rick (FS)	Jenny
$7,600	$3,700

Don't feel too bad for a returning champion. Besides, she might hit the $3,500 space.

Round 3

EVENT

Arsenia	Rick (FS)	Jenny
$7,600	$6,050

We only look for genuine prizes for our Wheel, and now we get serious with a Krementz swirl necklace with 1.98-karat diamond and 18-karat gold (labeled JEWELRY) worth $6,376.

We're back to Arsenia, and she can score some more "B.M." with the $5,000 space.

Rick solves CANDIED YAMS and just barely becomes the big winner!

Arsenia	Rick	Jenny
$11,100	$11,200

Jenny still has the $10,100 she won earlier.

BONUS ROUND:

It's time for Rick to go even further with many new prizes in Bonus Land! Will he take a car, the rail trip, the annuity, or the $25,000?

Pat says Rick's demeanor reminds him of Seinfeld. Rick said the same of Pat.

Let's forget about that and look at the envelopes. Rick picks the H and stares at this puzzle:

RSTLNE gives him:

Without even hesitating, it's CDMA.

He tries HANDBAR and SANDBAR. He does not solve HANDBAG...

...and the $25,000 was inside. Rick still has $11,200 and is coming back tomorrow.

In the post-game, Vanna says she reminded people of Esther Williams. Pat says he reminded people of Dean Rusk, for some reason.

Hmm, that's strange. Although given that and Pat's introduction to the champion during that show it makes sense.

I guess the question now is when was the week of reruns that month, if it wasn't January 4?

Looking at my notes, I have this show, the entire next week (1/11-15), and the Monday after that (1/18) in the compendium for the month of January. And the 1st, but that's self-explanatory. I have no record of any puzzles for the week of January 25, so that stands out as potentially the week of reruns.

I'll go ahead and adjust the compendium accordingly, and move the rerun week to January 25 in the schedule until we get more evidence.

Thanks alexb1186 for the help!

I have plugs for folks that appeared that week so there were no reruns!

Bleh, this means that somewhere a large chunk of Season 10 is off. That's going to be a project and a half to fix...

Do you have any idea when the rerun weeks might have been, Alex? I have April 12 as one and sometime in January as the other, but now the information pushes any potential 2nd week to March at the earliest...
