Airdate: October 1984?

Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

A $41,000 Gucci Cadillac!
An 18-karat gold pocket watch!
A giant-screen TV!

Over $123,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Linda Emerman-Cornick: Art teacher at a university in Dallas, TX; also does oil paintings herself (mostly 20th century contemporary)
Tim Ford: Student at University of Florida studying international business, from Fort Lauderdale
Rhea Cooper: Homemaker and mother of three, from Kirkwood, MO

After Tim says he hopes to get a job and incorporate travel in his life, Pat says "And then you get older, and then you pass away. That's life, Tim."

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!

Round 1

PHRASE

LINDA	Tim	Rhea
$200: T Free Spin! $150: N Lose A Turn! (Free Spin used) $400: D -$250: A (x2) $250: R (x2) -$250: O $250: S (DUD!)	$150: F (x2) $100: J (DUD!)	$200: B Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$750	$300	$200

PHRASE

Rhea solves BEFORE AND AFTER. With only $200, she's limited to a skateboard or a golf putter...or she could put it on account.

$200 to spend

Variflex professional skateboard (-$200)
All spent!

"I could see you spinning around on that right now."

"Do not go out without your kneepads!" - Pat

Linda	Tim	Rhea
		$200

Speaking of spinning around, doing it here could score you this prize: a carved translucent jade perfume bottle (labeled JADE) worth $1,500.

Round 2

PHRASE

Linda	TIM	Rhea
	$900: L (DUD!)	$400: N (x2) $550: T $550: R -$250: I $200: G -$250: E (DUD!)
		$1,600
BANKRUPT! ($0)	$700: S (x2) -$250: A -$250: O (x3) $800: D -$250: U (x2) $500: C (DUD!)	-$250: A (Repeat)
	$1,450	$1,600
$550: H (DUD!)	$200: M (DUD!)	$300: P $200: Y Solve: Correct!
		$2,100

Rhea asked to buy a repeated A even though there were no vowels remaining. Possibly due to the confusion, the $250 was not deducted.

PHRASE

After some weird turns, Rhea solves PUSSYFOOTING AROUND.

$2,100 to spend

Hawaiian holiday (-$1,846)
Dessert of the Month desserts (-$236)
Remainder on a gift certificate (-$18)

Linda	Tim	Rhea
		$2,300

We don't want any strange play now. Just hit that $5,000 space and score big!

Round 3

PERSON

Linda	Tim	RHEA
		$500: N $5,000: D (DUD!)
		$500
$500: T (DUD!)	$400: L $250: S (DUD!)	$500: R (x2) $300: Y $500: H Solve: Correct!
		$2,300

PERSON

Rhea solves LARRY HAGMAN.

$2,300 to spend

Swan brass cocktail table (-$1,500)
Sierra Hearthstove (-$719)
Remainder on a gift certificate (-$81)

Surprisingly, we're out of time...

...and that means a sweep for Rhea!

Linda	Tim	Rhea
		$4,600

Linda and Tim might be surprised that it ended up like this. They're both taking home the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Let's see if Rhea can finish strong! She's here to play for...

Gucci Cadillac Seville with gold keys and key ring ($41,961)

Just one puzzle left!

Bonus Puzzle

THING

Such a win comes down to RSTNLE:

THING

She's silent, and she can't complete the sweep. Rhea does not solve MEDAL OF HONOR, so she leaves with $4,600 in prizes.

In the post-game, Vanna says that Gucci Cadillac is the most extravagant car she's ever seen! Pat says his car was customized by the 7-Eleven chain.
