Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $12,000 Firebird!
A $29,000 motorhome!
A 1-week Australian holiday!
Over $104,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Amelia Brooks: Bed and breakfast owner, from Mentone, AL
Judi Wilkin: Sales administration director for a vacation membership service
Patrick Potega: Magazine editor (edits a model airplane magazine)
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!
Judi solves PURCHASING POWER.
You don't have to think about purchasing power for one prize. We have a Tiffany & Co. Paul Revere Stirling Silver bowl (labeled SILVER) worth $1,100.
Patrick reads what's on the board.
You really don't know what you're missing unless you hit that $5,000 space!
Judi solves IDIOSYNCRASY.
We might have a normal puzzle ahead, but Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. We'll play for a Tiffany gift certificate, and consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece. Amelia still has a chance.
Amelia: R ($1,500)
Judi: N ($1,500)
Amelia guesses JAIL WARDEN. A very good guess, but it's incorrect.
Judi: G ($3,000)
Judi solves GAME WARDEN for a $3,000 gift certificate.
BONUS ROUND:
She instantly solves LIVE AND LEARN to keep the trip! Judi leaves with $12,970 in prizes!
