Airdate: June 5, 1990

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:
Nadine Schluter: Civilian employee of the Air Force at Patrick AFB working as the assistant stock fund manager, from Satellite Beach, FL
Dale Betcher: Working for a roofing company in Calgary, AB (and is proud of Canadian hockey...but loves the Toronto Maple Leafs?!)
Jeanine Anderson (returning with a 1-day total of $4,450)

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:

Round 1

After the L, Nadine says "You're alarming me!", and after the I, Pat says "And you have a certain amount of money which I will not divulge."

SAME NAME

Nadine solves INSTANT TELLER & GUMBALL MACHINE to end an exciting round.

Nadine	Dale	Jeanine
$4,900

We twist the handle, and out comes a prize! Actually, we must carefully handle an Oneida 32-piece crystal stemware set, Ceralene Raynaud Impressions china, and Landes 96-piece flatware (labeled DINE) totaling $4,380.

We can't divulge how much you can take from the $2,500 space! It all comes down to how you spin!

Dale tries to buy a second vowel after the E, but Pat stops him.

PLACE

Jeanine solves WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

Nadine	Dale	Jeanine
$5,950		$3,250

Our crew must not pull any video-worthy stunts with this prize. Let one of our contestants win an Addictor 333 Bambino boat (labeled BOAT) worth $7,985!

We head "west" to Nadine who doesn't need to be alarmed about a $5,000 spin.

Round 4

$5,950		$4,000

Dale's gonna hear about it when he gets back. Someone who loves the Maple Leafs was just begging for the nice parting gifts.

Jeanine leaves with a 2-day total of $8,450.

BONUS ROUND:

Now that Nadine's finished with the spinning, she can take some extra time to play for one more prize. There's a sedan, a trip to Egypt, a motorhome, a ring, and the $25,000.

The envelopes won't bite. Nadine can just take the L before solving this puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

She says FGMI, but not much happened.

THING

She guesses SPRINGTIME, SUMMERTIME, and EBBTIDE. She does not solve ADJECTIVE, and Pat just dropped her prize.

The envelope had the Egypt trip. Nadine finishes with $5,950 and will come back tomorrow.
