From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $155,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Today's contestants (all female):
Elizabeth Rhodes: Word processor for the U.S. Postal Service, from Marietta, GA
Debra Newman: Mother of one and stepmother of eight, from San Antonio, TX
Gerianne Buddha (returning with a 2-day total of $76,401)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and mom, here's our first puzzle!
Debra solves IN A STATE OF ECSTASY.
One contestant could say hello to their mother after they've just won this: a Ceralene Reynaud cashmere multi-color pattern dinner service with Royal Prestige crystalware and Beem gold plated tea pot (labeled DINE) worth $5,495.
Next to mom, the $2,500 space is the second-most important thing in life. Maybe third or fourth. I don't know...
Debra solves GALVANIZED TUB. "It was bound to happen after all these years. We've run out of puzzles."
That tub could be overflowing with lots more money courtesy of the $3,500 space!
Debra solves AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.
Choose between solving as early as possible or clearing the consonants. You might even hit a conveniently placed wedge for a Fred Joaillier 18-karat yellow gold basket-weave design necklace (labeled GOLD) worth $6,600.
Gerianne solves FLIPPANT REMARK for just $200 in cash ...but she has taken the gold!
DING DING! DING DING!
Don't you just love when this happens? Not a letter on the board, and Pat has to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $200 a piece. We love that, too.
Debra: S (DUD!)
Gerianne: N ($200)
Elizabeth: D (DUD!)
Debra: L (DUD!)
Gerianne: M (x2) ($600)
Elizabeth: H (DUD!)
Debra: G (DUD!)
Gerianne: C (DUD!)
Elizabeth: B (x2) ($400)
Debra: Y (x2) ($400)

Gerianne: U (DUD!)
Elizabeth: K (DUD!)
Debra: I (DUD!)
Gerianne: O (DUD!)
Elizabeth: X (DUD!)
Debra: A (x2) ($400)
Gerianne now solves NAMBY-PAMBY ...for just a small victory.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CDMA gives her one consonant on the outside.

Among the thanks, Gerianne says hello to her mom who would not fly with her, because she just doesn't fly.

That was very close, but Gerianne is defeated with a 3-day total of $83,201.
BONUS ROUND:
Debra didn't come to Bonus Land to look at some namby-pamby offers. She wants a big prize! We still have a car, a boat, a ring, and the $25,000!
Debra can just think about the envelopes right now. She'll take the middle E, and she takes time for this puzzle:

...so the Celica will be staying put (and the envelope almost stays closed, because Pat forgot about it). Debra stays at $6,850 and will try again tomorrow.
