From Hollywood, It's America's most watched game show! Wheeeeeel Of Fortune!
Over $154,000 just waiting to be won this week!
Today's contestants (all male):
John Nicholson: Minister of the Oak Park Church of Christ, from Calgary, AB
Steve Josie (returning with a 1-day total of $32,650)
Michael Edechin (?): Computer consultant currently working in London, England
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Michael solves FORGIVE AND FORGET-ME-NOTS.
Perfection! Steve solves DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS.
Pat's no stranger to us, and neither is the $3,500 space!
Steve solves COME ON BABY LIGHT MY FIRE.
Steve solves THE END OF A LOVE AFFAIR.
DING DING! DING DING!
If we're gonna go through all the letters, we'll need to let Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $500 a piece.
Michael: L ($500)
John: C (DUD!)
Steve: F (DUD!)
Michael: M ($1,000)
John: G (DUD!)
Steve: E (x3) ($600+)
Michael: P ($1,500)
John: X (x2) ($1,000)
John guesses TEXTILE EXAMPLE and TEXTURE EXAMPLE.
Steve: B ($1,100+)
Steve solves TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE to keep the London trip.
John can't blame the Leafs for this one; it was just a combination of wrong letters and bad luck, which leaves with the nice parting gifts.
BONUS ROUND:

You'd be forgiven if you forgot we had a Wheel prize. Either way, you could win a Service Merchandise gift certificate featuring word processor, fax machine, copier, and laptop computer (labeled SHOP) worth $4,000.
But it's hard to forgive someone who forgets we have a $2,500 space. That someone would be Pat, who said there's a "$2,000 space".
