Look at these terrific prizes just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune!
A $3,800 necklace!
A sailboat!
A beer dispenser!
Total retail value over $30,000!
Today's contestants:
Roger Wartsmann: Sociology student
Missy Wolcott: Bass player (and toured with Tiny Tim), from Coconut Creek, FL
Carol Welday (returning with a 1-day total of $4,500, taking "3 in a row" yesterday)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $500. 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!
Roger solves HIGH PROTEIN DRINK. After dancing for a while, he was finally able to solve. Chuck wonders why Roger didn't go for the H's, but he just wanted to solve one.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is now $1,000. Try not to let that money slip away, because we have another BANKRUPT on the Wheel.
Carol solves A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
Susan gets in the sports car after the purchase.
Is that the best Carol can do? The top-dollar value on the Wheel is now $1,500, and she still has a Free Spin token!
DING DING! DING DING!
We're running out of time, so Chuck will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $850 a piece.
Roger: R (x2) ($3,500)
Roger solves LONG-DISTANCE RUNNER. If only Chuck's spin was just a little lighter...

That certainly wasn't a step in the right direction for Missy. She's stuck with the nice parting gifts.
Carol's Free Spin might as well slip into the darkness like the one that Missy was holding.
Carol finishes with a 2-day total of $10,500.
