Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $12,000 ski boat!
A diamond and emerald ring!
A $6,000 camper trailer!
Over $82,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Joan Holmes: Secretary and mother of two
Linda Clissold: Realtor (and every other neighbor is also a realtor), also a mother of two; from Honolulu, HI
Keith Nysted: Bank loan department manager, and a father of two (Pat says "We have six altogether!"), from Warrenville, IL
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!
Linda solves THE REAL MC COY.
At least Linda won't have to name a price for our Wheel prize. We have a Gucci gift certificate featuring a band of emeralds, diamonds, and 18-karat gold (labeled RING) worth $2,400.
Keith solves DETROIT TIGERS.
A close game so far, but Joan might surprise the competition if she lands on the $5,000 space, especially with a bigger puzzle!
Keith solves BEATING YOUR HEAD AGAINST A WALL.
Our game has finally hit a wall.
