Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
New bedroom furniture!
A pair of emerald, diamond, and ruby earrings!
A shiny new bright red compact car!
Over $50,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants (all female):
Sara Thayer: Sales rep for specialty advertising, from Redmond, WA (originally from Charleston, SC)
Chris Martin (returning with a 1-day total of $2,100)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. 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!
Rebecca solves ALFALFA SPROUTS.
Now sprouting from the Wheel is a $1,000 space. Come and get it!
Rebecca solves SOLDIER OF FORTUNE.
You're here for the money, and we have a $2,000 space on the Wheel! The catch? You gotta spend all that money in this studio.
Chris solves WALL-TO-WALL CARPETING.
We ask how much time we have, and we find that Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. We're playing for a Gucci gift certificate, and consonants will be worth... $200 a piece. Sara starts!

Chris: N ($200)
Rebecca: S (Repeat)
Sara: R (DUD!)
Chris: M (DUD!)
Rebecca: T (DUD!)

Sara: H (x2) ($600)
Sara solves PHIL DONAHUE for a $600 gift certificate. (Pat accidentally says $6,000, and he doesn't know if Sara can handle that with all her cheering.)

Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring 18-karat gold and diamond earrings with emerald/ruby crosses ($3,600)
However, she's stuck with this puzzle:

She says SOMEWHERE YOUR TOO, but she does not solve SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW. Pat explains that it's a Quotation because "Somewhere" isn't in the title.
Chris stays at $5,550 and has one more day.
In the post-game chat, Pat notes that he and Vanna almost get spoiled on the show. They look at a Florida gator relaxing in a chair, there as part of the set for a Florida trip.
