Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
An old-fashioned guest room!
A $5,800 sapphire and diamond ring!
A $5,400 fully equipped camper trailer!
Over $59,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Chris Martin (returning with a 2-day total of $5,550)
Rick Goodman: Flight dispatcher for a major airline for 8 years and counting, from Riverdale, GA
Charlie Blanchard: Self-employed computer programmer; also enjoys music, bowling, and..."psychic awareness".
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but not your...whatever that was. "I've been on this show 3 years, and I still don't know this language." Where's our first puzzle?
Charlie solves PARDON MY FRENCH. "Oui, oui."
Oh, pardon us. We were just about to remind you that there's a $1,000 space on the Wheel. However, you might have some feelings about that extra Bankrupt space.
Chris solves THE FLORIDA KEYS. Pat asks if Chris bowls because of her "leg kick follow through" when she spins.
Okay, what do we do next? Pat ought to remember that we now have a $2,000 space on the Wheel.
DING DING! DING DING!
Rick could win this, but now Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $2,000 a piece!
Rick: B (x2) ($7,950)
Rick solves BELL BOOK AND CANDLE for the big win!
BONUS ROUND:
RSTNLE is really helpful this time!

Pat wants an explanation, in 25 words or less, what "psychic awareness" is. There are plenty of Southern California workshops for people interested in perception activities. Charlie doesn't think this will help him during the game, however.
