Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

Over $225,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Round 1

We've got a prize on the Wheel, but no pressure! You can try for a Tappan double-oven range, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, and trash compactor (labeled KITCHEN) worth $3,235.

What we do expect you to do is hit the $2,500 space on the Wheel at least once.

DING DING! DING DING!

Okay, we'll need to rest soon. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... BANKRUPT!

Okay, maybe Pat didn't get enough rest. He will spin again, and consonants are worth... $900 a piece.

Tammi: T (x3) ($2,700) (The ding sounds on each letter.)
Jim: N (Repeat)
Jeannette: H (x2) ($1,800)
Tammi: G ($3,600)

PHRASE

Tammi guesses TIGHT WITH A ROPE.

Jim just solves TIGHT WITH A BUCK for the house minimum.

Jim	Jeannette	Tammi
$14,200	$6,700

This wasn't going to be easy for Tammi, and in the end, it didn't work. She's leaving with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Convertible (over $51,000)

Precious gems package ($40,000)

Emser antique carpet ($65,000)

Boat (over $35,000)

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)
