Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A 14-day Caribbean Island vacation!
A pair of diamond heart earclips!
A pair of his-and-hers Toyotas!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $223,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Michael Bolboi (?): Currently working as a sales representative for a business forms manufacturing company
Fran Capra: Associate director for executive development for the major telecommunications company in St. Louis, from Ferguson, MO
Christie Sebeer: Computer analyst for a major telecommunications company, from Miami, FL
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Christie solves BAKED LASAGNA.
Michael solves FRYING AND PETER PAN.
Christie's gonna have to grow up...her score, that is, and the $3,500 space will send her flying high.
Fran solves THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD for some quick cash and the lead!
DING DING! DING DING!
So much for that easy victory, as Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Michael: N (x4) ($6,000)
Perfection! Michael solves PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING MATE. Not the perfect number for Pat to spin, though.
We'd nominate someone who knows how to properly use Free Spin tokens.

That smell had better be real lasagna and not the "cardboard" for our first prize. That prize, by the way, is a ColorTyme 41-inch big-screen TV (labeled TV) worth $2,995.
There is absolutely zero chance of the $2,500 space smelling like dinner. Maybe dessert or a drink.

Michael doesn't have much defense, so he'll need to be more careful after hitting the $5,000 space.
