Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $10,000 sports showcase!
A pair of $25,000 pearl and diamond earclips!
A $21,000 sports convertible!
Over $135,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Diane Camarata: Barber (does a few funny/weird hair styles), from Everett, MA
Andrea Curtis: Student at Tulane University double majoring in political science and sociology, from New Orleans, LA
Steve Teyes (?): Frame attendant for a major phone company, gets new service going for customers, from southern California (he said the town name too quickly)
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!
Andrea solves MOZZARELLA CHEESE.
Andrea got one trip, but why not take another from the Wheel? We have a trip to Hawaii and stay at Kona Surf (labeled TRIP) worth $5,052.
Diane solves BOUND AND DETERMINED. It's not enough for shopping, so she puts the $250 on a gift certificate.
Is Steve determined to go for that money again? The $5,000 space will make it a lot easier for him!
DING DING! DING DING!
This is just taking too long, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Steve: G ($1,100)
Steve solves MY KINGDOM FOR A HORSE.
