Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $30,000 pub showcase!
A pair of $12,500 pearl and diamond earrings!
A $21,000 Saxon!
Over $111,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Dr. Clayton Fusillo: Dentist for 12-13 years and counting, from Winfield, PA
Carolyn Eppel: Homemaker studying interior design, from Overland Park, KS
Laurie Logan: Salesperson, from Stow, OH (Pat's curious about the name "Stow".)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or "we'll take you out back and rough you up", and you will lose all your cash. But once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Carolyn solves SLEEPING BEAUTY.
After what might feel like an eternity, a prize is ready! It's a 25-inch color TV and antique pine colonial cabinet (labeled TV) worth $1,329.
We think we've got a better puzzle, and there's also a $5,000 space on the Wheel!
DING DING! DING DING!
We gotta solve this one soon, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $350 a piece.
Carolyn: D (x3) ($1,050)
Carolyn solves WILD HORSES COULDN'T DRAG ME for just enough to win!
