Airdate: Sometime in Spring 1985
Over $113,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Corilee Skildum: Homemaker and mother of two who "enjoys teaching and designing English smocking", from St. Paul, MN
Bernard Gilchrist: Florist by trade and interior designer, from New Orleans, LA
Jim Conway: Student at University of San Diego starting in business, from Solana Beach, CA
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 some English smocking", it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Jim solves HOW NOW BROWN COW to put this round out of its misery.
Let's look away from the puzzle board for a bit. Instead, why not look at a Van Cleef & Arpels lady's 18-karat gold and diamond dress watch (labeled WATCH) worth $8,950?
Corilee solves AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE.
Don't you dare change that channel! We're putting a $5,000 space on the Wheel for this round!
DING DING! DING DING!
That enough of this mess. Before he exits the studio, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece.
Corilee: P ($250)
Bernard: C (x2) ($950)
Jim: B ($550)
Jim solves BLUE-CHIP STOCK.
BONUS ROUND:
(The source video begins partway through the intro.)
Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes!
