Look at these terrific prizes just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune!
A beautiful porcelain box!
A trip to Argentina!
A Rattan table and chairs!
Total retail value over $45,000!
Today's contestants:
Walt Smerconish: Junior high school guidance counselor, from Bucks County, PA
Leora Coneer (returning with a 1-day total of $6,000)
Joan Werbeck: Realtor, also has an achievement of 5 children and 5 grandchildren; from Mesa, AZ
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!
Perfection! Walt solves DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
After Walt got a head start, it's time for Leora to play. We have a $1,000 space on the Wheel, but look out for that other BANKRUPT space.
Walt finally solves WKRP IN CINCINNATI. Chuck was beginning to wonder who watches the show with the ratings it has.
Who can blame Walt for losing it after that round? Can we make up for it with a $2,000 spin?
Thanks to Round 2, we're almost out of time. Chuck will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $500 a piece.
Walt: L (x2) ($3,200)
Walt sweeps the game and solves BASEBALL DIAMOND.

Walt will be returning next time!
