"If you listen very carefully, sometime during the next half hour, you will hear someone on Wheel of Fortune utter the words...Cowazinga Babinga." - Pat
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Inns of New England week!
Today's contestants:
Darla Peterson: Government/social worker, does Meals on Wheels for the elderly; from Antioch, TN
Mark Lucera: Volunteer firefighter and EMT, also does cellular phone sales; from Denver, CO
Trisha Pavin: Apartment manager, also does sign language interpreting; from Beaverton, OR
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Perfection! Darla solves ENTHUSIASTIC CROWD...though she could show a bit more confidence.
You'll want to take one more look at the "world-famous" $5,000 space before you start spinning, and who can blame you?
Darla guesses GOING OUT ON A TANGENT.
Trisha solves GOING OFF ON A TANGENT. We'll end it here, as we can't take any more surprises.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
DPFA can barely get her started.
She's silent and does not solve ABILITY...
