Airdate: Sometime in September 1987

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

A gourmet kitchen!
A $13,000 sports coupe!
A 15-foot sailboat!

Over $62,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Cliff Weathers: Writes entertainment and does photography, also a National Guard officer; from Warren, MI
Pat Hobart (female) (returning with a 1-day total of $10,185)
Claire Richardson: Mother of seven and grandmother, from Falls Church, VA

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or Pat will get really upset. Here's our first puzzle!

Here's something to help you feel alive...the $1,000 space! Have you got what it takes?

Cliff	Pat	Claire
	$2,050	$1,350

How about a second chance at some big money? You could try for the $2,000 space or the Jackpot space on the Wheel! A $4,000 pot would be nice!

Round 3

PHRASE

Cliff	Pat	CLAIRE
		$300: T (x3) $200: N (DUD!)
		$900
$300: L (DUD!)	$900: R -$250: E -$250: A (x4) $200: S $350: F (x2) $350: M Solve: Correct!

Cliff	Pat	Claire
	$3,700	$1,350

Time matters to us, and now Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin for a Lyn Deutsch gift certificate. Consonants are worth... Lose A Turn!

As a matter of fact, time isn't all that important. Pat spins again, and consonants are worth... $500 a piece. Cliff begins this one.

Bonus Puzzle

THING

How does the common TRSNLE sound?

THING

She says PENCIL, but she can't solve PENCIL SKETCH. Pat still finishes with $13,885 and has one more day.

(Before the post-game, Vanna models for a Spring Air mattress in a commercial.)

Now to end the show...and neither Pat nor Vanna has any major developments. Pat does thank all the television affiliates carrying daytime Wheel.
