Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $14,700 family game room showcase!
A $4,500 quartz watch!
A $6,800 pickup truck!
Over $81,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Claudia Swanson: Housewife and substitute school teacher, from Vancouver, WA
Lynn Hasselberg: Former flight attendant for a once major airline, from San Diego, CA
Richard Meyers: Retired airline staff, from Tucson, 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!
Richard solves MATTHEW MARK LUKE AND JOHN.
Richard accidentally says $1,109 for the pool, but Pat corrects him.
We'll name the price for this price so Richard doesn't have to. We have a Dicker & Dicker gold frost mink jacket (labeled FUR) worth $2,800.
Claudia solves SYMPATHY CARD.
Richard doesn't want sympathy right now. He wants more money, and the $5,000 space will give him more money!
DING DING! DING DING!
Richard: N (x2) ($2,500)
Claudia: D ($800)
Lynn: S ($800)
Richard: H (x2) ($4,100)
Richard solves STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT.
BONUS ROUND:
He's mostly silent and does not solve GEORGE SEGAL. Richard leaves with $6,100 in prizes.
