From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $206,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Today's contestants (all female):
Rita McCord: Mother of two who does a little weightlifting, from Arlington, TX
Anna Deere: Applications programmer for mainframe computers
Patty Jo Foy: Psychokinesiologist (assists in transforming people's limited unconscious beliefs), and sells real estate on the side; from Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Anna solves NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK.
Rita solves WHY SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS. Well, you have to if you hit that dreaded space.
Sadly, we still have to wait before we get to the best stuff. But what's wrong with a nice and shiny $3,500 space?
Rita solves SEX LIES AND VIDEOTAPE.
Rita solves EXCHANGE STUDENT DRIVER.
DING DING! DING DING!
We won't be speeding there. When we arrive, that's when Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece. Anna begins.
Anna: T (DUD!)
Patty Jo: N (DUD!)
Rita: R (DUD!)
Anna: S (DUD!)
Patty Jo: D ($500)
Patty Jo quickly guesses DON'T ASK, and then she says DEAR JOE to Pat's amusement. She's desperate!
Rita: L (DUD!)
Anna: Y (DUD!)
Patty Jo: E ($500)
Patty Jo now tries DREW BUG, and then DOPE FIEND to even more laughs. Pat says to just give it to her.
Rita: M (DUD!)
Anna: G (DUD!)
Patty Jo: Y (Repeat)
Rita: V (DUD!)
Anna: K (DUD!)
Patty Jo: P (DUD!)
Rita: B (DUD!)
Anna: C (DUD!)
Patty Jo: A (DUD!)
Rita: F (x2) ($1,000)
Rita just guesses DIVE OFF. A boring guess.
Anna: Z ($500)
Anna finally solves DOZE OFF.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
CMDO only gives her one unique consonant.

This is a family show, but there might be a way that the $5,000 space can show some love to these contestants.

BONUS ROUND:
Rita dare not doze off in Bonus Land. She's sure to be wide awake when she looks at our bonus prizes!
Actually, we'll take a short nap for commercials before Rita picks the middle E, then we'll look at her puzzle:
