Wheel Of Fortune! Where one spin of the Wheel could twirl you into some fabulous fortune.
Bright days ahead with a trip to Rio de Janeiro!
Today's contestants are:
Steve "Buck" Buchanan: Once played professional football, from Birmingham
Lindsay Patroclu (?): Mother of a 17-month old boy; Nicky is curious about her last name, as she's not actually Greek; from Enfield in Middlesex
Sheila Williamson: Mother of two and grandmother of two, formerly a bar maid; from East Dulwich in London (originally from Stonewall)
The top value on the Wheel is 1,000, something that's easy enough for Nicky to understand...but will our players understand how to hit it?
That second BANKRUPT is driving us crazy, so let's focus on the star of the round, the second 1,000 space...and co-starring a yellow and white gold bangle as our prize! We've got a token on 200 and a new puzzle on the board.
Oh no! They've mixed in a third BANKRUPT with the goodies! Can a third 1,000 space fight it off? And can you win a leather portable drink bar? Grab the token that's on 150 and solve this puzzle!
Whoops! We need to move on to our speed round! Nicky gives the Wheel one last spin, and consonants are worth 400. Buck begins.
Buck: P (DUD!)
Lindsay: T (DUD!)
Sheila: S (400)
Buck: C (DUD!)
Lindsay: D (x2) (800)
Sheila: L (800)
Buck: R (400)
Sheila almost took that last prize. Still, all contestants receive the Wheel of Fortune souvenir watch.
BONUS ROUND:
