Airdate: September 1984?
Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $31,000 English pub showcase!
A $3,500 mink jacket!
A $20,000 convertible Roadster!
Over $109,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Terry Neilson: Systems technician for a major communications company
Mitch Warner: Student at Notre Dame University studying marketing and film production (originally from Kansas)
Georgia Brown: Private nurse and grandmother, also likes mining gold (her husband's a mining manager); from Wickenburg, AZ
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!
Georgia says HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE ...but adds the word "THE" before it.
Terry properly solves HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. Pat then says that you can't add an extra word to it.
Did Mitch have anything to do with this choice of prize? We add a Gucci gift certificate featuring multi-colored flower pin with French enamel plus diamond bow and butterfly (labeled PIN) worth $5,200.
Georgia solves GRIZZLY BEAR for a nice comeback.
I guess the common letters are hiding in this big puzzle? This is a perfect time for the $5,000 space!
Perfection! Georgia solves SO CLEAN YOU COULD EAT OFF THE FLOOR.
And that ate up all our time.
