Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A Mazda RX-7!
A crystal peacock!
A 10-day Alaskan cruise!
Over $123,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Phyllis solves DO YOU WANT AN HONEST OPINION.
We'll try to describe our prize better than we did the Department of Commerce. It's a Dicker & Dicker full-length pure white mink coat (labeled FUR) worth $7,500!
Perfection! Larry solves COMING APART AT THE SEAMS.
We won't need to ask an honest opinion about what it's like to land on the $5,000 space, will we?
Bob solves FINANCIAL BACKER.
Pat does not offer the "on account" option.
A little more time for a little more spending money, but Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! This will likely determine our winner...

Larry: S (x2) ($10,000)
Phyllis: R ($5,000)
Bob: N (DUD!)
Larry: D ($15,000)

BONUS ROUND:
Can she solve one more puzzle?
