Airdate: October 6, 1988
Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $180,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Maureen Zempinski (?): Registered nurse, from Carol Stream, IL
Morris Hudson: Retired oil company worker, now the president of the world's longest running non-profit theatrical production; from Tulsa, OK
Howard Zerobet: Actor and musician, from West Hollywood, CA (originally from New York)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Howard solves FRESH FRUIT JUICE.
Morris solves A MAN IS KNOWN BY THE COMPANY HE KEEPS to win the trip.
Howard is sure hoping that the $3,500 space can keep him company for the whole round.
Howard solves PICKLED HERRING.
Perfection! Maureen solves ASKING ALL THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.
DING DING! DING DING!
And this could get interesting, as Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece. Morris begins.
Morris: N (DUD!)
Howard: T (x3) ($750)
Maureen: F (DUD!)
Morris: R (DUD!)
Howard: H (x2) ($1,250)
Maureen: S (x3) ($750)
Morris: G ($250)
Morris says THIS STORY IS TOUGH.
Howard: R (Repeat)
Maureen: D (DUD!)
Morris: P (DUD!)
Howard: M (DUD!)
Maureen: B (DUD!)
Morris: L (DUD!)
Howard: C (DUD!)
Maureen: W (DUD!)
Morris: V (DUD!)
Howard: Y (DUD!)
Maureen: K ($1,000)
Maureen guesses THIS STICK IS TOUGH and THIS STACK IS TOUGH.
Morris just solves THIS STEAK IS TOUGH without calling a letter. Tough for him, as he couldn't call one more consonant to win.
BONUS ROUND:
That round was tough to watch, but Howard survived the journey to Bonus Land!
It's time for Pat to reveal RSTLNE.
And now we will see what DGKO does. Howard probably knows it already.
