Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A $35,000 Okanagan van!
A $30,000 precious metals package!
A $39,000 diamond pin!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $171,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Aaron Marx: Student at the University of Pennsylvania, to be a junior with a major in finance; from Parsippany, NJ
Mary Lou Hardisty: Student at Brigham Young University Hawaii campus studying physical education, from Lā'ie
Lee Fry: High school and special education teacher, from Casa Grande, AZ
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Lee reads what's on the board. A very hard puzzle for someone from Hawaii, isn't it?
Mary Lou isn't quite there, as she says NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
(Sort of) Perfection! Mary Lou solves NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
We'd be lying if we said Lee should give up now. The $3,500 space will want him to keep trying.
Aaron solves ZONING REGULATIONS.
DING DING! DING DING!
Speaking of quick business, Pat will have to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $350 a piece.
Mary Lou: S (x4) ($1,500+) (The "dings" sound.)
Lee: C (x2) ($600)
Lee solves CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS.
BONUS ROUND:
TRSLNE isn't too helpful this time.
