S16, EPISODE #3008: WHEEL INTO 1999
Airdate: 12/30/98
Midweek contestants:
Orlando Pabotoy: Fairfax, VA. Carpenter, gardener and landscaper who's married (the wife can't come) with 6 sons
Ian Deveroux: Jackson, MS. Registered sales assistant with a major brokerage firm who also designs database management systems.
Kelley Bartels: Milford, OH. Registered nurse who recovered from a rollerblading accident and just started whitewater rafting.
This does not describe the game so far, but Ian's drawn first blood.
DUDS: S (Kelley), P (Orlando), G (Ian), D (Orlando), F (Kelley), K (Orlando)
LOSE A TURNS: 3 (Orlando, Ian 2x)
1ST PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: $2,500 worth of Blockbuster GCs (marked THE MOVIES)
I have no idea why this isn't LANDMARK, but Kelley still locates the GRAND CENTRAL STATION. Can she turn one of the 3's into a 6?
"Not a clue," Kelley says. That was a COMMUTER.
BANKRUPT: Ian
2ND PRIZE ADDED TO WHEEL: 9d Collette Tour of CALIFORNIA ($3,658)

FINAL SCORES

WINNINGS SO FAR: $32,700
BANKRUPT TRASH: $2,950
BONUS ROUND
LETTER PICKED: W
RSTLNE gives them:
GDMO...are we empty yet again?
SCARF, SHARK and SHIRT are not quite correct. That was a SHRUB...hey Orlando! We found the B for you!
Still, no Sport Utility to take home, but she could buy one of her own.
KELLEY'S FINAL TOTAL: $30,400 (all cash)
Tomorrow marks Pat & Vanna's wedding anniversaries (9 for Pat, 8 for Vanna).
OVERALL THOUGHTS: Good final score, not so good other things considered. Also, Orlando made some baffling letter calls. 6/10
