From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $165,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Today's contestants:

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

We all concur that the $2,500 space would be a great addition to our Wheel.
Eugene solves PRESCRIPTION EYEGLASSES.
Perfection! Vivian solves FRED AND WILMA FLINTSTONE. "Yabba dabba doo!"
Wheel is still a great game for Eugene to play, and this is a great prize to win! We're adding a Fred Joaillier gold bracelet with pair of sculptured diamond flowers (labeled BRACELET) worth $11,500!
Dorothe reads what's on the board.
DING DING! DING DING!
Not enough to win just yet, so Eugene must trust Pat to a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $5,000 a piece!

Music room with four seasons greenhouse, piano, and iris screen (over $52,000)
Pair of furs (over $32,000)
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

We'll continue a strong day with CHKO...
...and then we'll abruptly crash.
He has nothing, and he does not solve ALADDIN'S LAMP...
...and we wish we could've awarded the $25,000. But Eugene already has some cash! He stays at $26,800, but he'll be playing again!
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna know that tomorrow is Valentine's day. Do something nice for someone you love! (That's about the sweetest thing that Pat has ever said on the air.)
