Look at these terrific prizes just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune!
An 18-karat gold bracelet!
A Queen Anne style chest!
A stereo jukebox!
Total retail value over $42,000!
Today's contestants:
Kathy Tamisian: Grade 5 teacher, and her children want her to say hello! (Chuck feels like he's 6 all of a sudden.)
Paula Smith (returning with a 2-day total of $14,250)
Dave Cutler: Computer programmer analyst, from Reno, NV (originally from upstate New York)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. 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!
Paula quickly solves THE MAD HATTER. She really wants that camera!
There's a $1,000 space on the Wheel, and Paula's wasting no time! Don't rush for that other BANKRUPT...
Paula solves SMALL-CLAIMS COURT.
They'll be happy with another big puzzle, and we even have a $2,000 space on the Wheel!
Kathy carefully solves TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR...and then starts screaming again!
Chuck: I wish you'd just kinda come out of your shell a little bit, Kathy! I mean, good night! I want you to loosen up a little bit, now!
How about some good behavior from Kathy? She starts this round.
DING DING! DING DING!
Dave: F ($600)
Dave solves RABBIT'S FOOT. Chuck jokes that it might have been "rabbit's noot", too. She actually thought "rabbit's nest", which would work without the S.
