Airdate: January 1985?
Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $12,000 old-fashioned bedroom showcase! (Pat not included)
A $3,100 man's gold link bracelet!
A $13,000 Oldsmobile Cutlass!
Over $109,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Dave Row: Coach/teacher at Fremont Christian High School, from Fremont, CA
Melanie Stephenson: Fitness instructor for local recreation, from Sandy, UT
Vicky Butterfield: Recently retired high school English teacher, from Arlington, VA
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!
Perfection! Dave solves NOW YOU SEE IT NOW YOU DON'T. Pat says Dave has a bus to catch.
This might also go quickly, so grab this prize if you can! It's a Raynaud Ceralene china service for 8 with far-east influenced decorations (labeled CHINA) worth $1,600.
Dave solves TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
We're hoping this is how it happens: You hit the $5,000 space, and after you solve, you clean out the studio.
Dave solves IDENTITY CRISIS.
One last chance to win, but Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece. Dave starts.
Dave: T ($250)
Melanie: R (DUD!)
Vicky: C (DUD!)
Dave: N (x3) ($1,000)
Melanie: L ($250)
Vicky: O (x2) (She tries to call an M after that.)
Vicky ends the sweep and solves MOUNTAIN LION for the house minimum. The $200 will go on a Tiffany gift certificate.
