From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $162,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Today's contestants:
Barry Hopkins: High school registrar, from Canton, GA
Eugene Choi (returning with a 1-day total of $26,800)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Christy solves PENNY LOAFERS.
Christy solves YOU'VE GOT THE CUTEST LITTLE BABY FACE. "Thank you very much."
You're welcome, Pat. Now, give us a $3,500 space so that we don't pound on the rail like a bunch of infants.
Pat says $800 instead of $700 after Christy calls the S. He catches himself after the vowels.
Christy solves WHEEL OF FORTUNE CONTESTANT.
Some of us like to watch a contestant who keeps spinning for Big Money, or even a prize package like a 40-diamond quartz Lucien Piccard watch for her plus a Swiss-crafted timepiece for him (labeled WATCHES) totaling $7,080.
Perfection! Barry solves IT'S AN INSIDE JOKE.
Barry reads what's on the board.
We glide into an extra round...
DING DING! DING DING!
There's that tailwind! We must push Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants will be worth... $600 a piece.
Barry: W ($600)
Barry solves AWARDS BANQUET...and thanks to Pat, he was $50 short.

We need to rest our feet even after just a few minutes of standing. While we rest, someone should add a Premier Cruise Lines Bahamas cruise and stay at Walt Disney World Resort (labeled CRUISE) worth $4,078.
