From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $129,000 given away so far this week!
Today's contestants:
Steve O'Donnell: Works as a clerk for a major clearing firm at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, from Lincolnshire, IL
Steve Schneider (returning with a 1-day total of $41,750)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for (raw) cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Red Steve solves VAMPIRE MOVIES.
Yellow Steve solves NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY to keep the trip.
Maybe Joanna should call herself Steve just to score something. We think the $3,500 space will love her anyway, no matter her name.
Red Steve solves JUMPING THROUGH HOOPS.
DING DING! DING DING!
Now it could be difficult to take the lead. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $250 a piece.
Steve: L ($1,750) (Pat almost thinks there's no L.)
Steve: R (x3) ($750)
Joanna: D (DUD!)
Steve: P (DUD!)
Steve: C ($1,000)
Joanna: M (DUD!)
Steve: F (DUD!)
Steve: H (DUD!)
Joanna: W (DUD!)
Steve: G (DUD!)
Steve: J (DUD!)
Joanna: B (x3) ($750)
Steve: K ($2,000)
Red Steve thinks it's CARNIVAL & BOB BARKER. He's won some extra money.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives him:
DCBO lights up a few consonants.
