Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $6,000 mink coat!
A 12-day Mexican cruise!
A $15,000 Bronco!
Over $98,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Greg (last name not given): Pre-med student at UCLA
Pamela Crickler: Works for the mayor of Brooklyn, OH for 37 years and counting
Kathy Axay: Studying for a masters in business administration, married just one week ago; from Brentwood, MO
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!
Greg solves DOUBLE YOUR PLEASURE DOUBLE YOUR FUN.
We should've had two Wheel prizes after that. Would you still be happy with a Chinese hand-carved Jade "Phoenix bird" incense burner (labeled JADE) worth $2,250?
Kathy solves COLONY OF ANTS.
That's a minuscule total when Greg looks at it. Kathy ought to try and hit the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
That was barely any time at all, and now Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece.
Greg: N (x2) ($3,000)
Pamela: T (x2) ($3,000)
Kathy: H (x2) ($3,000)
Greg: E (x5) ($3,000)
Pamela: W ($4,500)
Kathy: G ($4,500)
Kathy solves KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES ...though she's just $61 short of a win.
