From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $150,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Today's contestants (all female):
Shirley Jeffers-Lawrence: Works for a major law firm for the Dallas Independent School District, from Dallas, TX
Annie Reso: Grade 4 teacher in southern California, and is going to graduate school to become a school psychologist
Sylvia Marshiel: Mother and full-time student going for a degree in criminal justice, from Long Beach, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Annie solves MAKE IT SNAPPY.
Perfection! Annie quickly solves DANNY DEVITO AND RHEA PERLMAN.
Well, she did make it snappy. Looks like we have to save that applause for the $3,500 space instead.
Double perfection! Sylvia quickly solves ELTON JOHN RITTER. "We may get to 10 or 12 (rounds) before the evening is over."
Shirley might have a tough choice right now: solve a puzzle quickly, or keep trying for a Krementz 18-karat yellow gold ring with pink sapphire and 10 full-cut 1-karat diamonds (labeled RING) worth $10,000.
Shirley solves NATURAL CHILDBIRTH to keep the ring.
Sylvia solves SPANISH RICE.
We can just keep feeding them puzzles. Time for another round!
DING DING! DING DING!
Wait. Does somebody have a bus to catch? We'll let Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece!
Shirley: L (DUD!)
Annie: T (x2) ($10,000)
Sylvia: F ($5,000)
Sylvia solves DIET SOFT DRINK.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
DCMI lights up some letters on the left.

She talks out CLICHE and CLIQUE. The second one is correct! It could've been a toughie...
...but she easily scores the precious metals from Johnson Matthey: pure gold, silver, and platinum bars totaling $28,779! Shirley finishes with $41,329 and will be playing again!
We've started this week out right, as Vanna points out. Let's see if we can give them all away this week!
