Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $27,000 Cadillac!
An $11,000 ski boat!
A camper trailer!
Over $117,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Ken Ashba: Car salesman who restores antique/collector cars, from Newbury, OH
Irene Bonner: Grandmother getting ready to retire from work, from Spokane, WA
Gina Canfora: New to California (last year or month or something; "Time flies out here, sometimes.")
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!
Ken solves NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN.
We wish we could award the Wheel prize nine times out of ten. Let's try to give away a ski weekend at Squaw Valley USA and stay at Olympic Village Inn (labeled TRIP) worth $1,101.
Irene solves DIAHANN CARROLL.
We could get some big money this time! The $5,000 space is on the Wheel, and Gina still has her Free Spin!
Gina solves PEACE OFFERING.
We can't offer much since we're short of time, so Pat gives it a Final Spin, and we'll play for a Tiffany Gift Certificate. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Ken starts!
Ken: P (DUD!)
Irene: R (DUD!)
Gina: N (DUD!)
Ken: T ($5,000)
Irene: L (x4!) ($20,000)
Gina: S (DUD!)
Ken: H (DUD!)
Irene: M ($25,000)
By 1/6 of a second, Irene solves VOLLEYBALL TEAM to take the win and a $25,000 gift certificate!
BONUS ROUND:
She instantly solves SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY to keep the trailer! Irene leaves with $32,165 in prizes!
