Airdate: March 1, 1991

The famous Wheel is spinning! Contestants will be winning! This is...Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!

Before beginning the game, Bob holds a touch-tone phone as he's plugging the Wheel Cashpot home viewer contest.

Today's contestants (all male):
Jeff Blyler (returning with a total of $4,010)
Russ Moreno: Student in Cal State Long Beach, hoping to get into law with a minor in mathematics
Steve Anderson: Teaches junior high school math and media workshop, also teaches cinema at night

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $500. We are playing for cash...

...and here's our first prize! We have a Sebastian make-up package, Eva Gabor wigs, and Cherokee women's shoes (labeled NEW YOU) totaling $1,473.
