Airdate: Jan-Feb 1989
Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A gold, platinum, and silver package!
A Jeep Wagoneer and a trailer!
A BMW convertible!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $219,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Dennis Lindsay: Tends a bar, from Orange County, CA
Carol Daly: "On hiatus" from being a career consultant; she's also involved with poetry, sailing, and community theatre
Lisa Sedam: Flight attendant for a major U.S. airline, also training for the Boston Marathon; from Marblehead, MA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Perfection! Dennis solves CIRCUS ACROBAT. He probably would've spun again if he had just $1,500, since Pat's curious about his cutoff for spinning again.
Dennis' Free Spin token will do some "acrobatics" in his hand, remaining clear of an Ashley faux marble bedroom with Lady Englander sleep set and Dakotah bedroom ensemble (labeled ROOM) worth $3,989.
Dennis solves IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE.
We're not going so far as to learn how the $3,500 space is made, are we? All we really need to think about is the money.
Dennis solves CHURCHILL AND HUGH DOWNS.
BONUS ROUND:
"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)
RSTLNE gives him:
BDGO only reveals a vowel, which happens to be the trilon that lit up by mistake.

Dennis' Free Spin token will do some "acrobatics" in his hand, remaining clear of an Ashley faux marble bedroom with Lady Englander sleep set and Dakotah bedroom ensemble (labeled ROOM) worth $3,989.
After a one-round "hiatus" for Carol, she might think about diving into a small $2,500 space.

After saying BAR and CAR, he solves POLICE CAR to COMPLETE THE SWEEP and take the money! Dennis leaves with $31,950 in "actual cash"!
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna plug the Westin Hotel Williams Center in Tulsa where they searched for contestants. Pat also notes that the show makes $850 billion per year.
Afterwards, Pat shows what the contestants use for drawing numbers 1, 2, and 3 to determine their order during the game. Pat pulls off the "wine cork with masking tape" from a "14-year old thing" that looks like a bottle. Can we get something new?
