Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A once-in-a-lifetime adventure around the world!
A $1,700 lady's sports watch!
A $7,900 station wagon!
Over $84,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Barbara Blackmore: Mother of one ("and a half"), from Lake Elsinore, CA
Harlene Brown: Counselor for the Housing Authority of Santa Barbara
Kevin Attrazic (?): Attorney and CPA, living in California (originally from Manhattan, KS)
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!
Barbara solves JACK LEMMON.
There's a bit of "stuff" on the Wheel as Pat might call it. This is a Tiffany & Co. Stirling Silver "English King" flatware service for 8 (labeled SILVER) worth $2,040.
Would this make quite a show? Someone can hit our sparkly $5,000 space on the Wheel!
DING DING! DING DING!
No more close calls. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Barbara: P (DUD!)
Harlene: D (x2) ($1,000)
Kevin: W ($1,450)
Kevin solves DYED-IN-THE-WOOL.
