Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $19,000 TV room showcase!
A pair of $1,400 cuff links!
A pair of $6,700 ear clips!
Over $101,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Renee Humboldt: Housewife and mother of two, from Glendale, AZ
Helena Nadlak (?): High school teacher, from Palmer, MA
Galen Stammahorn: Church choir director, from East Alton, IL
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!
Galen solves FROM SOUP TO NUTS.
It shouldn't be too difficult to talk about this Wheel prize. We add a trip to Maui and stay at Maui Surf Resort Hotel (labeled TRIP) worth $1,834.
Renee solves QUICK RECOVERY.
We ought to get out of this mess. It would be nice if someone hits the $5,000 space.
DING DING! DING DING!
Can this be any slower? Now Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $300 a piece.
Helena: G ($550)
Helena solves GRAPEFRUIT SECTIONS.
