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

A $5,300 all-purpose boat!
An $18,500 Jeep!
A pair of art-deco inspired ear clips!

Over $89,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Scott Beren: Works in public relations, from Munhall, PA
Brenda Martel: Waitress at a major steakhouse, from Windsor, ON
Janice Schlimpert (returning with a 1-day total of $16,250)

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 a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!




Scott solves PSYCHIC JEANE DIXON.

---

It doesn't take psychic powers to know you want to hit that $1,000 space on the Wheel.




Scott solves NO JOB'S TOO LARGE OR TOO SMALL.

---

Janice is the one without a Free Spin, so what happens after she hits the $2,000 space? And what about the $2,000 Jackpot?




Scott solves THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA for a huge total! We'll need a break to see what he does...

---

Even with that early break, we have time for another round!


DING DING! DING DING!

Still, Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. We play for a Lyn Deutsch gift certificate, and consonants are worth... $400 a piece. Scott needs more money, doesn't he?

Scott: T (x2) ($800)
Brenda: R (DUD!)
Janice: N ($400)
Scott: M (x2) ($1,600)


Scott says COMMITTEE OF ONE ...but adds an "A" before it.

Brenda: C ($400)


Brenda ends the sweep and solves COMMITTEE OF ONE. Her $400 goes on a gift certificate.
