Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A vacation of a lifetime touring Europe on the QE2 and Orient Express!
A 20-karat $53,000 diamond necklace with matching diamond flower earclips!
A Mercedes-Benz sedan!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $205,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Conrad Shatner: Attorney at law, also fundraises for a non-profit organization; from Montréal, QC
Erica Danos: Student at University of Michigan majoring in pharmacy, from Ann Arbor
Verna Doyle: Banker who works for a major New York based bank, from Cambria Heights
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Verna solves LEMONADE STAND.
Perfection! Erica solves THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS to keep the clock.
Staring at that clock, the $3,500 space has been waiting long enough. It's time for even more money!
Erica solves SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME.
We're still watching Conrad hoping he wins some money...though he could also take a set of Square Two golf clubs, plus a trip to Florida with stay at PGA Sheraton Resort in Palm Beach (labeled TRIP) worth $5,895.
Erica solves DRUMMING UP SUPPORT.
DING DING! DING DING!
That wasn't very supportive. With little time, Pat will now give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $300 a piece.
Verna: R (DUD!)
Conrad: T (DUD!)
Erica: D (x2) ($1,100)
Erica guesses BOSOM BUDDIES, then says GOLFING CADDIES on the buzzer.
Verna: N (Repeat)
Conrad: L (x2) ($600)
Erica: W (DUD!)
Verna: B ($300)
Conrad: M (DUD!)
Erica: F (DUD!)
Verna: G ($600)
Verna solves COLLEGE BUDDIES.
