Airdate: September 30, 1991

From the Arie Crown Theatre in Chicago, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!

Pat says that because he's from Chicago, he should be the one to introduce Vanna.

Today's contestants (all female):
Brenda Bishop: Sales representative for a publishing company, from St. Charles, MO
Kamille Jackson: Student in a nursing program, from Skokie
Andrea (last name not given) (returning with a 1-day total of $66,445)

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

Round 1

PHRASE

BRENDA	Kamille	Andrea
$400: T (DUD!)	$250: S (DUD!)	$500: R (DUD!)

$800: N (x2) $300: G (x2) -$250: I $500: D -$250: O (x2) $200: L (DUD!)	$500: M (DUD!)	$250: V Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$2,200		$250

PHRASE

Andrea solves GOOD EVENING. "She won $250!"

Brenda	Kamille	Andrea
		$250

And just like that, it's time for a special prize. We'll offer a trip to the Jacksonville Jazz Festival in Florida for a musical week and a stay at Omni Jacksonville Hotel (labeled JAZZ) worth $4,470.

A cash total like that will make you hate Mondays. Maybe the $2,500 space can fix that?

Round 2

BEFORE & AFTER

Brenda	KAMILLE	Andrea
	$250: T (x5) $250: H (x2) $400: S (x2) $350: N -$250: E -$250: O (DUD!)	$400: G $200: R -$250: I (x4) $400: K $900: P Solve: Correct!
	$2,400	$1,650

BEFORE & AFTER

Andrea solves SKI TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC.

Brenda	Kamille	Andrea
		$1,900

We're warming up. Maybe we can score a bit more with the $3,500 space and this puzzle?

Round 3

CLUE

Brenda	Kamille	ANDREA
		$400: N (DUD!)

$900: T (x2) $3,500: R (DUD!)	$400: H (DUD!)	$300: S (x3) BANKRUPT! ($900)
$1,800
$1,000: L (DUD!)	$200: M BANKRUPT! ($200)	$250: D (x3) -$250: E (x2) $500: V -$250: I (x5) Lose A Turn!
$1,800		$750
$400: X Solve: Correct!
$2,600

CLUE

Brenda solves SIX TIMES SIX DIVIDED BY TWO to take the lead. Now she can answer the clue for $500 extra.

She does her work. 36 divided by 2 is 18. Pat feels bad for making someone answer a clue like that.

Brenda	Kamille	Andrea
$3,100		$1,900

As we return to "Sesame Street", we invite over another nice prize. It's a limited-edition Picasso etching (labeled ART) worth $8,250.

(The Wheel can be heard moving to what is presumably the proper position for the ART space to be displayed.)

We didn't even have to do any math! Someone can easily catch up if they land on the $5,000 space!

Round 4

PHRASE

BRENDA	Kamille	Andrea
$250: T (x2) $5,000: N (x3!)
$15,500

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

(The Final Spin bells sound twice.)

Well, what a time for that. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $500 a piece.

Brenda: O (x3) ($15,500)
Kamille: H ($500)
Andrea: G ($500)
Brenda: R (DUD!)
Kamille: M (x2) ($1,500)
Andrea: D ($1,000)
Brenda: S (x2) ($16,500)

PHRASE

Brenda guesses NOTHING JUST COMES TO MIND.

Kamille: L ($2,000)

PHRASE

Kamille solves NOTHING ELSE COMES TO MIND.

Brenda	Kamille	Andrea
$3,100	$2,000	$1,900

Andrea leaves with a 2-day total of $68,345.

BONUS ROUND:

Brenda might not have won that last round, but she still won the game! Now she can play for a nice prize such as a car, a boat, a van, or the $25,000!

Over to the envelopes, and she picks the W. Here comes her last puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

How much more can she fill with DMPA?

THING

Just enough! She instantly solves CLOUD...

...and that solve scores her the van! It's a 1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV worth $20,742! Brenda finishes with $23,842 and is coming back!
