9/19/96: Great Northwest
PLAYERS
Scott Adrian: Highlands Ranch, CO, design engineer, Nebraska graduate, engaged to Janet and getting married in April
Doug Ketchum: Fayetteville, GA, married to Barbara (in audience), likes lepidoptera (butterflies, "they make good gifts"), will have a morning blues cruise on non-profit radio station
Suzie Johnson: Connellsville, PA, craft maker, married to Ed, 5 dogs and 2 pigeons
Round 1: Thing

_ _ _ _ _
So, because of the draw, Scott starts. He takes a mighty spin to get $550. He asks for a T, and he gets 3 for a $1,650 start. He spins again, and the wheel stops at... the $1,000 wedge! He wants an S, and he'll get one! Up to $2,650. Another spin, but it makes him LOSE A TURN.
_ _ _ _ _ T _ _ _ T
S T _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Doug now goes. His spin lands on $250. He wants an N. 1 N for $250. Another spin, this time it's $300. Will he get an R? Yes, 2 in fact. With $850, he buys an E. Or, 3 E's. Down to $600, he'll spin again. For $900, he asks for an M. 3 M's means another $2,700. With $3,300, he buys just 1 A. Down to $3,050, he gets the $1,000 wedge! Another $2,000 with 2 D's! $5,050, and he wants to solve. His answer of...
D E P A R T M E N T
S T O R E
D U M M Y
...is correct to keep the cash!
He has the lead, and we have a prize from Charlie... a Great Northwest golf getaway! You'll stay at The Inn at Semi-ah-moo in Washington state, with an Arnold Palmer designed golf course, and a spa on the US-Canada border. Plus, a dinner train! A great trip worth $4,435! Plus, the $2,500 and the $10,000 wedges could make anyone rich! Next puzzle...
$10,000 Round: Phrase
_ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Doug will start this round instead. His first spin lands on $900. He starts with 2 N's for $1,800. He buys 1 E, bringing him down to $1,550. Another spin, and the wheel stops on $300. He wants a T, and he'll get 2. Now up to $2,150. His next spin is just barely past BANKRUPT! For $900, he asks for an S. 2 S's, and he's up to $3,950. He buys an A... but there's none in the puzzle! He risks $3,700.
S _ _ _ T - S E _ _ N _
T _ _ _ N _
Suzie can finally touch the wheel. Her first spin of the day lands on $700. Things can't go her way, as she can't find an R. Scott will now spin. He can add $400 with an L. One L, and $400. Another spin, now $300. He receives $300 with an M. With $700, he'll buy an I. 3 I's, and he's now got $450. He spins... for $250. One P, and back to $700. Next spin is $250. One D and he's up to $950. Now, he solves. He says...
S P L I T - S E C O N D
T I M I N G
...and lo and behold, he's right! Some cash for him!
Scott has $950, and Doug has $5,050. For Suzie, I wish things were better. But they definitely could... with the new Jackpot space! Land on it, call a right letter, and solve... and your score will be boosted by a lot! Plus, in the Friday Finals, the winner of the main game and BR wins an $11,000 camping package. 1 more thing: the $3,500 space! Puzzle...

On the bright side, Suzie will start this round. $250 and she wants a T. Sadly, no T. Over to Scott. His mighty spin stops on LOSE A TURN, however. Doug will now go. Will he earn $900 with an N? He'll get 2 N's and $1,800. Next spin... it's $250 this time. We'll give him 2 R's, and he's now got $2,300. He buys the E- to get three. Down to $2,050. Taking another spin... but it's the LOSE A TURN. He keeps his cash.

It's right back to Suzie. Her first spin just barely misses $3,500... it's only $250. She'll finally get some cash with 1 L. Her next spin is for $400... and 3 M's. Up to $1,450. She'll buy 4 O's, taking her down to $1,200. She'll also buy 2 A's. Now she has $950. She'll take a spin... right on the Surprise! She can pick it up with two D's! She'll solve, and...
M A R I L Y N
M O N R O E / W E D S
J O E / D I M A G G I O
...is correct! She has $950 and the Surprise... some jewelry! With a gift certificate, she can buy a Fred Joallier necklace titled, "Freddy the Golfer", with 18-karat gold, including a diamond golf ball! A gift certificate worth $6,000!
Scott with $950, Doug with $5,050, and Suzie with $6,950. Now it's the fourth round, meaning that we have the $5,000 wedge waiting for you to hit it! Puzzle...

Scott will start this round. His spin lands on $250... just short of the $5k! Also, there's no N! Doug spins now, it's for $800. He wants an S... and he'll take one for $800. Another spin... $300 and one R. Up to $1,100. He buys an A, down to $850. Another spin, this time it's $250. One C and back to $1,100. Another spin... $800. One H and $1,900. If he solves now, he'll be tied with Suzie! He buys the I... but there's none! He risks $1,650.

Suzie will spin... but it's the second BANKRUPT. Scott's turn... in SPEED-UP MODE! The final spin from Pat is worth... $600 per consonant! Just past the $5k!
Scott: 2 L's, $1,200, no solve
