Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
Comfortable Rattan lounge furniture!
A jade carving!
A trip to the Bahamas!
Over $41,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Pat Sivel (female): Mobile home saleswoman, also a grandmother; from Sagle, ID
Nancy Conwell: Exercise specialist who works with corporate clients; she's in a preventative medicine division of a hospital and does classes and testing
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 an oboe", it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Pat solves THE LONG HOT SUMMER.
We've got a $1,000 space on the Wheel, and there's a long puzzle ahead!
Perfection! Nancy solves DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. Pat makes fun of the TV audience for possibly telling her to spin again.
Double perfection! Neal solves CHUCK NORRIS for a $2,700 Tiffany gift certificate.
Everyone has some money, and rumor has it that we have time for another round!
DING DING! DING DING!
There's not a lot of time left, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $400 a piece.

Nancy Conwell: Exercise specialist who works with corporate clients; she's in a preventative medicine division of a hospital and does classes and testing
Neal Reitz: Sales representative (who plays five musical instruments), from Miami, FL
Pat takes a guess on one of the musical instruments that Neal plays, and he is correct with oboe. The others are drums, piano, guitar, and keyboard...as well as bass and harmonica. Pat jokes that he learned the other two during the interview.
