From the Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's Game!
WHEEL OF FORTUNE
AROUND THE WORLD
EPISODE #3090
Here are today's contestants!
Rich Rohrbacher is from Tacoma, WA. He's a machinist for a large aircraft manufacturer. He has two children (Tyler, 5, and Nicole, 4). In his free time, he likes to travel, take pictures of anything, and snowski.
Nicole Chang is from San Diego, CA. She's married with three kids (Kyle, 13, Cameron, 10, and Kevin, 7) She owns a travel agency and loves to travel. She has published poetry, and has done some voiceover work.
William Blair is from McKeesport, PA. He's an advertising representative with one child. He's a Trekkie. He also loves Bill Cosby, and does a facial impression of him.
IT'S WHAT'S FOR DINNER, according to Rich, and he's right for $4,450. For another $2,000, can he name what that's the slogan for?
...wait, why the heck does just BEEF itself have a slogan? He gets it right, and I assume this has to be something like Got Milk?
9821 note: Yeah, it's essentially just one of those slogans that 88% of Americans knew. I guess I was one of the 12% before right now. Here's more info. I find it funny that the Beef. It's What's for Dinner. 300 is technically a racetrack that exists at the time of this recap.
Round 2 adds some WATCHES to the wheel: it's Jaguar Festina 18-karat gold-and-steel his and hers watches worth $2,790! It doesn't tick, it purrs!
Rich solves THE THREE LITTLE PIGS & THE BIG BAD WOLF for $2,450. Can he get another $3,000 by solving this Puzzler?
Rich gets HUFF AND PUFF... a second too late.
Round 3 adds a trip to ALASKA! In Elfin Cove, AK, Tamaku Lodge allows a lot of outdoorsy stuff. It's a trip worth $7,100! Oh, and yeah, Jackpot.
Rich continues to sweep thanks to PUNCTUATION MARK TWAIN.
Rich, LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT to continue your domination with $1,450.
DING-DING! DING-DING!
We're starting automatically in a Speed-Up. Vowels are worth nothing, but consonants are worth... $300 ┌.
Nicole: T (DUD!)
William: N (DUD!)
Rich: S (x2 - $600)
Nicole: L ($300)
William: D (DUD!)
Rich: R (x3 - $1,500)
Rich's is probably one of those EARLY RISERS with another $1,500. You know what they say about being early to rise and making a man wealthy...
W H E E L
RSTLN E gives four letters...
BCD A is frontloading, and only the A does anything.
Pat's going through his speech on how it would be tough to solve it, but Rich doesn't care, and he solves GERANIUMS to go to ANTARCTICA! He'll go from Antarctica to Elephant Island and South Georgia for penguins and the like. From Zegrahm Expeditions, it's a trip worth $31,886!
Rich has $47,576! His brother comes down to give him a hearty handshake.
Pat Chat: Vanna mentions how Rich was so good. Pat notes that he played all eight puzzles today, and of all of those, he only missed the Puzzler, and that was only by a second!
