Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
An $8,000 sapphire and diamond bracelet!
A $2,600 sapphire and gold ring!
A $6,000 camper/trailer
Over $82,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Michael Mather: Police officer (who is involved in demolition derbies), from Brockton, MA
Maria Mueller: Homemaker who makes and sells porcelain dolls
Phyllis Tragethon: State director for a beauty and talent pageant for girls age 2 to 19, from Scottsdale, AZ
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!
Michael solves WIPE THAT SMILE OFF YOUR FACE.
This prize could put a smile on your face! It's a trip to the Bahamas and 6-day Windjammer Barefoot Cruise (labeled CRUISE) worth $2,686.
Michael solves ANN-MARGRET.
(The incorrect music cue briefly plays before the shopping segment. It plays during Jack's plugs.)
Phyllis is probably hungry for some money, and she can score plenty of it from the $5,000 space!
DING DING! DING DING!
What kind of puzzle is this?! One that demands Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin, with consonants worth... $800 a piece.
Phyllis: Y (x2) ($2,100)
Michael: L (x2) ($1,600)
Maria: C ($1,050)
Phyllis: B (x3) ($4,500)
Phyllis solves BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP HAVE YOU ANY WOOL for a sudden victory!

In the post-game, Pat comments on how contestants wear name tags. Vanna is not a common name, but the staff made a tag for her.
