Airdate: January 14, 1985

Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

A pair of $11,000 zircon and diamond earrings!
An $11,000 Oldsmobile Calais!
A $16,000 Oldsmobile Delta 88!

Over $103,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Richard Mandel: Stockbroker, from San Diego, CA
Evvy Bernstein: Teacher, but looking for work in advertising; from Newton, MA
David Reed: Works in the promotions areas, formerly in radio news (originally from Gainesville, FL)

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!




David solves WORDS OF WISDOM.

---

He who solves too early is lost, so take that chance! You may also pick up a state-of-the-art stereo/music system (labeled STEREO) worth $1,550.




David solves CIRCUS CLOWN and claims his on-account money for a total of $3,406.


(David was a bit too fast for Pat and Jack, immediately asking saying $608 before Pat slows him down.)

---

David's in a hurry for more money, and maybe the $5,000 space can bring it to him!





Evvy solves ASHES TO ASHES DUST TO DUST for some fast money!

(After a commercial break...)

---

Just a few big prizes, so we still have time, but Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece.


Richard: R (x2) ($3,000)
Evvy: T (DUD!)
David: D (DUD!)
Richard: L ($4,500)
Evvy: C ($1,500)
David: M (DUD!)
Richard: G (DUD!)
Evvy: H ($3,000)


Evvy guesses CHARLES GRODIN.

David: W (DUD!)
Richard: F (DUD!)
Evvy: N (x2) ($6,000)


Evvy now solves CHARLES BRONSON.








BONUS ROUND:





TSRNLE could get her somewhere.


She instantly solves MINNEAPOLIS-ST PAUL to keep the car! Evvy leaves with $32,205 in prizes!
