Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A 25-foot $60,000 boat!
A pure silk and gold Turkish rug!
A U.S. Savings Bond!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $240,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants (all female):
Pam Lowry: Mother of two girls, from Bluff City, TN
Sarina Grant ("Hello!"): Actress/secretary (one pays for the other)
Lois Wolfson: Aquatic ecologist who develops educational programs in the area of water quality and general lake ecology, from East Lansing, MI

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

Round 1

PHRASE

PAM	Sarina	Lois
$800: R $400: T Free Spin! $150: S (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!	$250: N $300: D -$250: A $400: L $150: H -$250: E $150: G BANKRUPT! ($750)
$1,200
$250: M Solve: Correct!
$1,450

PHRASE

Pam solves ROUGH-AND-TUMBLE. "No dancing up here!"

Pam (FS)	Sarina	Lois
$1,450

M.G. might do a little dance while we're not looking, as long as it helps him plug a Jules Jurgensen lady's quartz watch in 14-karat gold with 28 diamonds and a basket weave bracelet (labeled WATCH) worth $2,920.

We're sure we can get one more "Hello!" from Sarina if she lands on the $2,500 space.

Round 2

PERSON

Pam (FS)	SARINA	Lois
	$700: N (x3) $300: T (DUD!)	$400: R $350: G (x2) -$250: I (x3) $200: S (DUD!)
	$2,100	$850
$200: C $500: M $300: H $200: P Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,200

PERSON

Pam solves REIGNING CHAMPION to protect her lead.

Pam (FS)	Sarina	Lois
$2,650

It won't take much for Lois to dethrone our leader. Just a single $3,500 spin and a solve could be enough, especially with this puzzle:

Round 3

Pam (FS)	Sarina	Lois
$2,650	$3,500

Someone's in the studio with our next prize. We add a United States Savings Bond (labeled BOND) that matures to $10,000!

That's a reminder of what one letter can do! Pam will want to repeat that with our famous $5,000 space!

Round 4

THING

PAM (FS)	Sarina	Lois
BOND! $300: T (x2) $1,500: H (DUD!) (Free Spin used) $500: S (DUD!)	$500: R (x3) -$250: E (x2) -$250: A (DUD!)	$600: N $550: L (DUD!)
$600+	$1,000	$600
$200: D (DUD!)	$200: B (x2) Solve: Correct!
$600+	$1,400

THING

Sarina solves TYPEWRITER RIBBON. We've just run out of ink.

Pam	Sarina	Lois
$2,650	$4,900

Lois might have been a champion if the third round went better. Instead, she's stuck with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Sarina is ready to say "Hello!" to one of our bonus prizes, and this is what we have:

His-and-hers Riata and Electra ($52,000)

Precious gems package ($40,000)

Oriental rug ($50,000)

Hydra-Sports 2500 boat ($60,000)

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

Sarina would like to win...

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

Now for the final puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

EVENT

RSTLNE gives her:

EVENT

MDYO doesn't do what she'd hoped.

EVENT

She NATO REUNION and AUTO RECALL. The second one was on the right track, but it was AUTO RACING. Sarina is still happy with $4,900 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat asks Vanna what people ask her these days. The most common question for her is if she gets to keep her clothes. No. She only wears them on the show, and then they're returned.

She asks Pat if he gets to keep his clothes. He just has a dressing room where someone sticks his wardrobe somewhere for him to put it on.
