Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A $60,000 Roaring 20's style Speedster!
A $7,900 man's gold Rolex watch!
A $9,800 baby grand piano!
Over $135,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Theresa Skinner: Housewife and mother of one, and her husband's a professional cowboy
Patti Kelly: Photographer's assistant by trade
Scott Huckabay: Painter (of houses, not pictures)
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!
Scott solves RICHARD SIMMONS.
Give your arm that good workout...and you may be rewarded with a Bajaj America motor scooter (labeled SCOOTER) worth $1,500. Okay, then.
Patti just says OUT OF THE FRYING PAN INTO THE FIRE very slowly. "I guess you'll solve it! I thought she was just starting a conversation."
If Theresa gets a turn, maybe the $5,000 space will "buy a lot of nails" for her.
Theresa solves SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA.
...I need a vacation.
