Before the show, Frankenstein's monster spins the Wheel for $300 and asks for an "urngh". Beetlejuice says there's no "urngh" in the puzzle. Dracula gets a turn. He solves the puzzle while The Phantom watches:
Here are some normal contestants:
David Randall: Recent graduate of University of Miami and getting ready for a masters of physical therapy at Emery, from Indian Harbour Beach
Dennis Lawson: Bluegrass musician and part of a group called "The Budapest String Band" (we don't have time to explain), from Winter Park
Anne Rogers: Sells pre-owned cars and doing good business these days, also a high school teacher; from Orlando
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Not to scare you, but we are still playing for cash. Here's our first puzzle:
David solves THE FLORIDA EVERGLADES. Let's start with something better and score some more from this $3,000 Puzzler!
David solves I'LL GIVE YOU A HEAD START to keep the shopping spree.
We didn't mean to run this late, but it happened. Pat is giving the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $300 a piece. David begins!
David: T (DUD!)
Dennis: S (DUD!)
Anne: N (DUD!)
David: R ($300)
Dennis: P (DUD!)
Anne: L ($300)
David: H (DUD!)
Dennis: F (DUD!)
Anne: B ($600)
David: E (x3) ($300)

He's silent and does not solve WILDLIFE.
Pat: Did I detect a little booing in there, too? Gee, our first boo in Florida! We must be doing something right!
David | Dennis | Anne |
$1,500 |
Our audience had better not boo this prize, because we work hard to find them. This is a Spencer Gifts shopping spree (labeled SPREE) worth $2,500.
We must be doing something right when we add a $2,500 space. Something hard to catch? A $10,000 prize.
And there's something wrong when Pat feels "Beetlejuice drippings" on his rail.

Back to the present day, and our contestants have a chance to win a holiday at Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada (labeled CARIBBEAN) worth $5,750.

Anne made it exciting, but she just couldn't score. At least our parting gifts really are lovely.
BONUS ROUND:
David came for more, and he's hoping to score more in Bonus Land. What's Charlie got for us this week? One of the prizes is a Dodge Intrepid worth over $22,000.
We'll never know what the envelopes have for us until we open them. We'll open the one behind the second E after this puzzle:

He gets DOOR, but he cannot solve DOOR PRIZE. The audience was applauding themselves because they figured it out, as Pat noticed.
His bonus prize would've been the boat. David leaves with $7,750 in cash and shopping spree.

Pat: YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE NATURAL SOUNDS AROUND US, WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO SPEAK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT, VANNA!
Vanna: BYE BYE, EVERYBODY!
Pat: SO LONG!!!
