Airdate: January 1985?
Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A 1-week Mexican cruise!
A $23,900 diamond ring!
A $3,000 video package!
Over $103,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Kathy Chastain: Mother of five, from California (originally from Leon, IA)
Richard Andurt: Professional photographer and private pilot, from Burbank, CA (originally from Chanute, KS)
Dawn Hickey: Student at University of New Orleans going into nursing, from New Orleans
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!
Richard solves HAIL HAIL THE GANG'S ALL HERE.
We need to get away from Richard for a bit, so let's bring in our Wheel prize: a Cartier gift certificate featuring man's cabochon sapphire dome ring with diamonds in gold (labeled RING) worth $2,600.
Dawn solves BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
Richard really doesn't sound like the type of player who cares about the $5,000 space...
Kathy solves ICHABOD CRANE.
There's still more to be won, but Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. We'll play for a Gucci gift certificate, and consonants are worth... $800 a piece. Kathy starts.
Kathy: T (x2) ($1,600)
Richard: S (DUD!)
Dawn: N ($800)
Kathy: R (x2) ($3,200)
Richard: L (x2) ($1,600)
Richard solves FORTUNETELLER for a $1,600 gift certificate.
BONUS ROUND:
She instantly solves CRYSTAL CLEAR to keep the truck! Kathy leaves with $13,855 in prizes!
