Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $6,600 compact car!
A $4,000 gold and diamond hummingbird pin!
A family camper/trailer!
Over $68,000 just waiting to be won on...

Today's contestants:
Lisa Baker: Senior at UCLA majoring in English, wants to get a law degree and MBA; from Los Angeles, CA
Bob Gudykunst: Enjoys camping and fishing, from Pahrump, NV
Nancy Schumacher: Flight attendant for a major airline, from St. Louis, MO
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. 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!
Bob solves WILLIE NELSON.
Nancy solves CLOSE COVER BEFORE STRIKING to keep the pin!
Nancy: T (x3) ($1,800)

Bob says A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, and it is accepted. Pat says that A is accepted at the beginning of puzzles.
BONUS ROUND:
Nancy tries words like STRENGTH, STREET, and STRONG. She does not solve STAGE-STRUCK, so she leaves with $5,800 in prizes.
