Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $12,000 Impulse!
A $3,200 man's diamond ring!
A $6,000 mink coat!
Over $97,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Ted Wayland: Works with a satellite communications company, from Stirling, VA
Greg Spalding: Expediter who works for a construction company, also a bartender and wedding singer; from Willoughby, OH
Karen Langham: Mother of two (three next week) and a customer service manager for a discount chain; from Phoenix, AZ
"Letsplayourfirstround $1,000 topdollarvalueforthewheel trynottohitbankrupt ifyoudoyouloseyourcashbutnotyourmerchandise onceyoubuyaprizeitsyourstokeep I'm not delivering a child!"
Perfection! Ted solves SISSY SPACEK. "You don't have to hurry too, do you?"
Are you in a hurry to pick up this Wheel prize? We've added a hand-carved Chinese serpentine bowl (labeled BOWL) worth $1,150.
Karen solves MOTHER'S MAIDEN NAME.
A good amount of money so far, but it still doesn't compare to what "our famous $5,000 space" can offer!
Greg reads what's on the board. "Only show on television where you ever take $20,000 from a pregnant woman. I can't believe it."
One more chance, but Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! That could make up for the last round!
Ted: T (DUD!)
Greg: R (x2) ($10,000)
Karen: S (DUD!)
Ted: M (DUD!)
Greg: L (DUD!)
Karen: N (DUD!)

Pat notices a thread on Greg's suit and fixes it.
Pat might also be nervous that Karen's going to have a child on the set...
