From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $205,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Today's contestants (all female):
Pat Uhlhorn: Nurse and professional violinist, from Sparks, NV
Dorothy Moore (returning with a 2-day total of $8,600)
Sheri Risher: Long-distance operator for a major operator service provider, also a Girl Scout leader; from Garland, TX
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Sheri solves CHRISTOPHER ROBIN REDBREAST.
Sheri solves ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN.
Yes. Accidents. Like Sheri "accidentally" hitting the $3,500 space and winning a lot more money.
Perfection! Sheri solves DANIEL IN THE LIONS' DEN OF INIQUITY.
Fortunately, we can justify adding another prize to the Wheel, so let's add a Haviland French 24-karat gold-trimmed porcelain service for 12 with flower decorations (labeled CHINA) valued at $5,662.
Sheri solves I'M UTTERLY EXHAUSTED. "Well, you must be beat! Solving puzzles can really wear you down!"
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CDMO is pretty good.

Look who's flying out of the studio! It could be the contestant who wins a trip to Puerto Rico and stay at El San Juan Hotel & Casino, plus a Fuji Discovery 800 Zoom (labeled TRIP) worth $4,498.
Be careful how you spin, because we don't want the $2,500 space flying off the Wheel.

Sheri solves SECRET LOVE AFFAIR. The secret is out...
...that Sheri has a main game sweep!
Pat | Dorothy | Sheri (...) |
| $19,250 |
Somebody was secretly in love with Sheri the whole time. We can only give Pat some nice parting gifts.
We know it's not the Free Spin token that loves Sheri after this game.
Luckily for Dorothy, she has the $8,600 from her previous shows.
BONUS ROUND:
Hard to believe, but Sheri played a truly perfect main game! That's a good sign for her in Bonus Land, where she can take one of...
1990 Jaguar XJ6 (over $40,000)
Cathedral tours in England, France, and Italy (over $28,000)
Golf vacation and car ($25,000)
Ring ($39,000)
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)
Maybe Sheri is psychic, and she secretly knows what's hidden inside the second E. Will she know the answer to this puzzle?

And all I can say is... OUCH! She's one letter off with OFFICE POLICE, failing to solve OFFICE POLICY. No "perfect" show for her...
...and no Cathedrals of Europe tour for her. Sheri finishes with $19,250, but remember that this is just her first show!
In the post-game chat, Pat has a question about Vanna's "thing" on her head. If your dress is too long, you can cut off a part of it and put it in your hair! It looks perfect on Vanna!
