From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $164,000 given away so far this week!
Today's contestants:
Lisa Hart: Works at a casino as "one of the persons who takes people's money when you go to Las Vegas."
Richard Price: Outside sales representative for a major national paper distribution company, from Euless, TX
Jo Ursini: Lawyer for the oldest law firm in D.C., from Fairfax, VA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Lisa solves HOLLYWOOD SCANDAL. She likes taking our money from the studio, but that's what we're here for.
If she's gonna stick to just the money, then she needs to hit the $2,500 space.
Jo solves FRIED ONION & ENGAGEMENT RING for a quick fortune.
"Bob Goen." Pat just felt like saying that. Now, let's see if Jo can repeat her success with the $3,500 space!
And then that can happen. Jo says UNDER THE MOST EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES...
Jo solves MOUTH-WATERING DESSERT.
DING DING! DING DING!
Good thing it's small, because we're almost out of time. Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece! Richard still has a chance.
Richard: H (DUD!)
Jo: N ($5,000)
Lisa: T (x2) ($10,000)
Richard: L (DUD!)
Jo: R (DUD!)
Lisa: M (DUD!)
Richard: P (x2) ($10,000)
Jo solves BON APPETIT to finish a great game!
BONUS ROUND:

Lisa solves HOLLYWOOD SCANDAL. She likes taking our money from the studio, but that's what we're here for.
Lisa (FS) | Richard | Jo |

She probably takes only money in Vegas, but here, she could take a prize such as a Somper Lowell three-quarter length blush mink coat (labeled FUR) worth $4,900.
If she's gonna stick to just the money, then she needs to hit the $2,500 space.

And then that can happen. Jo says UNDER THE MOST EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES...
...before she takes control again to solve UNDER THE MOST EXTREME CONDITIONS. She was extremely lucky to get that one.
Pat: If at first you don't...well, maybe that will be a puzzle later on. I shouldn't say anything.
Lisa (FS) | Richard | Jo |
$2,350 | $15,500 |
The good news for Lisa is that she can undo some bad luck to try and win a Ricardo luggage set for a trip to Hong Kong and stay at Harbour View Holiday Inn (labeled TRIP) worth $4,920.
Lisa might need to go to extremes to win the game, like finding the perfect letter on the $5,000 space.
