Airdate: May 1985?
Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $21,000 oriental showcase!
A $7,500 diamond bracelet!
An $11,000 camper trailer!
Over $119,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Rita Armstrong: Administrative assistant at the U.S. Information Agency
Greg Patterson: Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force who works with Morale/Welfare/Recreation; from Colorado Springs, CO (originally from South Carolina)
Tracy Hyne: Photographer who likes hot-air ballooning (and once got dragged in a balloon through a field), from Concord, CA
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!
Rita solves CHANCE OF A LIFETIME.
This is your one chance to pick up a special Wheel prize! We have a Sony sound system with advanced audio signal, tuner, cassette deck, turntable, speaker, and remote (labeled STEREO) worth $1,550.
Tracy solves BARCELONA SPAIN for the house minimum.
Greg might have froze in that round, but it shouldn't happen if he hits the $5,000 space.
That's better! Greg solves SUNKEN TREASURE.
Maybe it's time to abandon ship.

She's silent and does not solve SIDE EFFECTS. Rita will leave with $2,250 in prizes.
Vanna mentions that the show goes on contestant searches, and they were recently in New Orleans. They stayed at the Hilton Riverside, and they found some new contestants for the show; we'll see them later on.
Pat found some interesting red glasses (sunglasses?) on one of the models on the platforms. Do they look good on Vanna?
