Airdate: Sometime in Fall 1984

Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:

A $10,000 luxury treat showcase!
A 1-week Rio holiday!
A $6,000 camper/trailer!

Over $81,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Paul Solomon: Computer systems planner, also a gambler (but "the big prize is for tonight")
Cheri Buchanan: Supervisor at a market for 6 years and counting

Kathy Keal: Aspiring (perspiring) songwriter, currently has two songs published; from El Cajon, CA

Kathy says she gets some of her song title ideas from Wheel. Pat reminds Kathy that Merv might call her, most likely for a piece of the success.

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!

Round 1

PERSON

PAUL	Cheri	Kathy
$150: N (DUD!)	$600: T (x2) $200: S $400: F (DUD!)	$100: R $300: D (DUD!)
	$1,400	$100
$150: L $175: M (DUD!)	$750: B (DUD!)	$400: P -$250: E $200: H -$250: A $500: C (x2) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$150	$1,400	$1,200

The "only vowels remain" beeps do not sound, although Pat says there are only vowels left.

PERSON

Kathy solves CATHOLIC PRIEST, which Pat thinks will be Kathy's new song.

$1,200 to spend

Action rocker/recliner (-$600)
Benrus lady's watch (-$400)
Maybelline cosmetics package (-$86)
Remainder on a gift certificate (-$114)

Paul	Cheri	Kathy
		$1,200

If Kathy wins this prize, will she write a song about it? Our prize is a Kawasaki GPZ305 motorcycle (labeled BIKE) worth $1,990.

That might be an appropriate prize, as Pat hinted before the break that they'll need to speed up.

Round 2

Paul	Cheri	Kathy

Round 3

PHRASE

Paul	Cheri	KATHY
		$700: N $550: ~~"1"~~ R (DUD!)

-$250: I (DUD!)	$300: D $900: L (DUD!)
$9,500	$300

PHRASE

DING DING! DING DING!

Kathy was about to spin, but it's Pat's turn now. He'll give it a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $1,500 a piece.

Kathy: H (x2) ($3,000)

PHRASE

Kathy solves SHOW OF HANDS. She's getting one, as she just won the game!

$3,000 to spend

Chickering spinet piano (-$2,295)
Sharp 13-inch portable color TV (-$399)
Bushnell binoculars (-$300)
Remainder on a gift certificate (-$6)

Paul made it exciting, but after all this, he's only leaving with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Kathy could get another show of hands if she wins one more prize! She's going to try for...

Gucci gift certificate featuring sapphire and diamond bracelet ($8,000)

Now for the last puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

With such a small puzzle, can TRNSLE help?

THING

She gives plenty of gibberish guesses, but she does not solve NECKTIE. Pat says that she was coining words for an upcoming song. Kathy leaves with $4,200 in prizes.

In the post-game, Pat says that he doesn't know much about those "spangly" things Vanna is wearing, known as sequins. She's also wearing shoulder pads.
