Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
An $11,500 pearl and diamond ring!
A $4,500 sports watch!
A $15,700 convertible!
Over $88,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Debra Rice: Housewife and mother of three, from Indianapolis, IN
Ginny (last name not given): Housewife who digs for gold with her husband, from Placerville, CA
Bob Jacobs: Attorney, from Brookline, MA
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!
Ginny solves MICK JAGGER.
With smaller puzzles, even a smaller Wheel prize will help. This time, you could spin for a Dicker & Dicker man's mink and leather jacket (labeled FUR) worth $1,500.
Bob solves JAPANESE KIMONO.
In what little time we have left, let's see if someone can call a good letter on the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
So much for that time. Now Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $800 a piece.
Bob: H (x3) ($6,400)
Debra: R (x3) ($2,400)
Ginny: S ($800)
Bob: N ($7,200)
Bob solves PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE for a better total! We'll be taking a break for some shopping.
BONUS ROUND:
He's silent and does solve PENNY PINCHER. Bob leaves with $9,250 in prizes.
