Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A warm and cuddly fur coat!
Tickets to the greatest sporting events in the world!
A pearl, diamond, ruby, and emerald necklace!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $192,000 given away so far during Wipeout Week on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Lynne Plant: Mother of two, from Pickering, ON
Carol Goldfarb: Editor of an employee magazine, from Poughkeepsie, NY
Eugene Baker (returning with $56,570, including the truck and boat)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Perfection! Lynne solves THE STAR OF THE SHOW.
Lynne solves PROSPECTING FOR GOLD to keep the clocks.
Eugene is next to prospect for the shiny stuff. It's not gold, but the $3,500 space could be worth just as much.
Carol solves GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND.
After gazing at several clock hands, it's Lynne's turn again. It's also time for Vanna to put on a Dicker & Dicker full-length natural ranch mink trench coat (labeled FUR) worth $12,500.
Lynne solves TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT.
Lynne solves LOLLIPOP.
Just like a lollipop, this game can last forever. Here comes another puzzle!
DING DING! DING DING!
Then again, this is a bit close for comfort, so we ask Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $800 a piece. Eugene starts.
Eugene: T (DUD!)
Lynne: N (DUD!)
Carol: D ($800)
Eugene: F (DUD!)
Lynne: S ($800)
Lynne says GOOD AS NEW. It fits, but the N was called.
Carol: L ($1,600)
Eugene: B (DUD!)
Lynne: C (x2) ($2,400)
Lynne now solves COLD AS ICE.

Perfection! Lynne solves THE STAR OF THE SHOW.
Lynne | Carol | Eugene |
$2,700 |
Pat thought we were taking a break. He's half right, as we need to add a Baldwin wall clock, mantel clock, carriage clock, and grandfather clock (labeled CLOCKS) worth $4,085.
We'll let one of our other stars begin this round, where the $2,500 space will have its moment of fame.
