From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Richard Bosh (returning with a 1-day total of $57,377)
Roxine Robinson: Mother of three, from Culver City, CA ("You could've walked here.")
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Roxine solves THE ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH CONGRESS. We now look at the Surprise...a Fila Apparel jacket and pants with an Exercycle totaling $4,895.
Roxine solves REGISTERED TRADEMARK to keep the video package.
Good prizes, but not much of that trademark "Big Money" yet. Guy has another chance at it with a $3,500 space and even a $10,000 prize!
Richard solves INUNDATED WITH REQUESTS.
Our request to Richard: Keep spinning, as he might hit the $5,000 space and even a trip to MALAYSIA worth about $6,300.
Roxine solves MIND-BOGGLING FEAT. Yes, we really have to end this.
Poor Guy. After all that, he's stuck with only some nice parting gifts.

That Surprise was well modeled by Vanna as usual. Maybe she could have presented a Magnavox compact VHS camcorder, TV, and VCR Plus (labeled VIDEO) totaling $1,350?
Even though the $2,500 space needs no assistance, it still wants attention!

She grabs the H, and we picked this puzzle for her...

...to gobble up the $25,000! Roxine now has $40,345 and is coming back!
In the post-game, Pat says it's greats when a contestant hugs or happily screams, but when they do both at the same time, it's like you just came from a Nine Inch Nails concert; Pat has lost about 30% of its hearing.
