Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A Travelcraft 26-foot motorhome!
A futuristic carved tiger eye ring!
A pair of Buicks, a Reatta and Electra!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $214,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants (all female):
Emerald (last name interrupted): Retired assistant principal from the NYC school system, from Brooklyn
Chris Jennings: Mother of one involved in crafts and sports, from Cincinnati, OH
Janice Abbott: Poker dealer at a major casino in southern California
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Emerald solves TONGUE IN CHEEK.
Perfection! Chris solves THE MOVERS AND THE SHAKERS.
We seem to be back...suddenly. The $3,500 space is also here suddenly, but after this round, it's outta here.
After a strange round, Janice solves WHICH OLD WITCH THE WICKED WITCH.
Time to pick up the pace, and Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $350 a piece. Emerald begins.
Emerald: T (DUD!)
Chris: N (x2) ($700)
Janice: R ($350)
Emerald: S (DUD!)
Chris: L (DUD!)
Janice: G (DUD!)
Emerald: C ($350)
Chris: M ($1,050)
Chris solves CARBON MONOXIDE.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CDMA does plenty of work.
But somehow, she clicks shut. She guesses CANADIAN MURDER, but does not solve CANADIAN BORDER (she never goes there), so she's leaving with $4,650 in total.

Emerald began to slow down after buying the I, nearly getting buzzed out each time.
Janice almost asks to buy a vowel after the R call, but she catches herself.
After that, Pat shouts "Please give us a letter, Janice!" before Janice calls the L.
