Airdate: December 2, 1992

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

Today's contestants:
Darcey Jager: Insurance agent for a union insurance company, from Saskatoon, SK
Bill Stanger: Works with a fire department for 14 years and counting, from Newtown, CT (originally from Norwalk)
Tina Lewandowski (returning with a 1-day total of $30,050)

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

Round 1

BEFORE & AFTER

DARCEY	Bill	Tina
$250: T (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	$350: N (x2) $1,000: R (DUD!)
		$700
$400: G Free Spin: S -$250: I (x2) $500: L -$250: A (x2) $500: D (x2) $1,000: P (x2) -$250: O $1,000: H Solve: Correct!
$4,150

After Darcey's L call, Pat discovers that Darcey's microphone is coming off. He puts it in his pocket for now.

BEFORE & AFTER

Darcey solves ISLAND-HOPPING MAD.

Darcey (FS)	Bill	Tina
$4,150

If you're hopping mad, you might calm down with an extra prize. We add a Emser International handmade Chinese silk oriental rug (labeled RUG) worth $3,900.

Now, there's definitely something wrong if you're still mad after hitting the $2,500 space...

Round 2

THING

Darcey (FS)	BILL	Tina
	$250: S RUG: T (DUD!)	$200: N (DUD!)
	$250
$350: R $400: L $900: D RUG: M (DUD!) (Free Spin used) $400: G $500: Y (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	$250: C (x2) -$250: E (x3) $2,500: B Solve: Correct!
$2,050	$250	$2,750

THING

Tina solves POLICE OFFICER'S BADGE.

Darcey	Bill	Tina
$4,150		$2,750

Don't worry, you're not being watched! The $3,500 space is not a trap. Spin for it all you want!

Round 3

FILL IN THE BLANK

Pat explains the category: "You...fill in a blank."

Darcey	Bill	TINA
		Lose A Turn!

$200: T (x2) BANKRUPT! ($400)	$600: S (x2) $500: R (DUD!)	$3,500: N (x2) $250: D -$250: A (x6) $700: L (x2) $600: M (x2) -$250: E (X4) Solve: Correct!
	$1,200	$9,350

FILL IN THE BLANK

Tina solves BLANK MAKES A MAN HEALTHY WEALTHY AND WISE. There's a $500 bonus available, and all she needs to do is...fill in a blank.

She's silent. We'll move on to Darcey.

He has no idea, either. That leaves it to Bill...

...who has it! The blank is Early to bed and early to rise.

Darcey	Bill	Tina
$4,150	$500	$12,100

Will you be early to claim this prize? We've added a Fred Joaillier man's gold ring with diamonds (labeled RING) worth $7,800.

A healthy lead will also make you quite wealthy, and a wise decision would be to spin for the $5,000 space.

Round 4

BEFORE & AFTER

DARCEY	Bill	Tina
$900: T $400: R (x2) $500: S (DUD!)	$400: N (DUD!)	$1,500: L $5,000: C (DUD!)

As we hurry to find out that first word, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece.

Tina: I ($1,250)

BEFORE & AFTER

Tina guesses FIDDLED OUT OF ORDER.

Darcey: P (DUD!)
Bill: Z (x2) ($500)

BEFORE & AFTER

Bill reads what's on the board.

Darcey	Bill	Tina
$4,150	$1,000	$12,100

BONUS ROUND:

Let's not fizzle out here. Tina is up to $42,150, and she could take one of a car, a dining package, or a trip.

Tina picks the middle E. Let's try this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

SLANG

RSTLNE gives her:

SLANG

CMDA will reveal a little bit.

SLANG

She guesses TAKE A BREAK and TAKE A FAKE, and then halfway through, she solves TAKE A HIKE...

...to walk away with the trip to Switzerland with ski resort trip and hot air balloon rides, totaling $20,800! Tina is now at $62,950 and could win one more time!

In the post-game, Pat talks about the PBS show Lamb Chop's Play Along, and he heard a tongue twister. Say "good blood, bad blood" three times fast! Vanna says it three times...but not fast! When she does say it fast, she gets tongue twisted the second time.
