Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $21,000 sports convertible!
A $2,800 man's diamond ring!

Over $131,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Dennis Sabo: Newspaper photographer, from Bellevue, OH

Debbie Babcock: Mother of two and her husband is in the navy, from Chula Vista, CA
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!
Sheila solves SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE.
We're hoping there are no objections to this prize. It's a Sunshine Jewelers gold, diamond, and ruby ring (labeled RING) worth $4,250.

Once you spin, you can't stop...because you'll be tempted to try and hit the $5,000 space.
DING DING! DING DING!
Well, let's not make it three in a row. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece!
