Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $12,000 Mercury Cougar!
A pair of gold and diamond star earrings!
A 1-week tour of Paris!
Over $108,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Susan Roeper: 2-month newlywed
Charles Lewis: Butler, also a "lady's gentleman"; from Fresno, CA
Rhea Levin: Stockbroker by trade
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!
Charles solves PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND.
After we "take a break for a little tea", Jack must politely introduce this prize: a trip to Miami and stay at Deauville Hotel and Tennis Club (labeled TRIP) worth $2,515.
Rhea solves EVICTION NOTICE.
We save the longest puzzle for last, and it would be perfect with the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
How's it going to end for Susan? Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $350 a piece.
Rhea: G (x2) ($900)
Rhea solves GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.
