Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A Baja cruise!
A dazzling necklace!
A compact Toyota Tercel!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $227,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Richard "Rich" Ripple: Chef for an upscale deli, from Norristown, PA
Dottie Carletta: Boutique owner (gifts that are "not fruit and flowers" for baskets for different occasions), from Paramus, NJ
Stacey Crowl: Business major, from San Diego, CA

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

Round 1

PHRASE

RICH	Dottie	Stacey
$300: T (DUD!)	$200: N (x2) $400: D (DUD!)	$300: R $200: F -$250: O (x2) $200: P -$250: E (x2) $350: S (x3) Solve: Correct!
	$400	$1,250

PHRASE

Stacey solves OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

Rich	Dottie	Stacey
		$1,250

We like different prizes for different occasions. For this game, we'll pick a Krementz 18-karat yellow gold and platinum stars pendant (labeled JEWELRY) worth $3,000.

We're not truly open for business until our prize and the $2,500 space are on the Wheel.

Round 2

SAME NAME

Rich	DOTTIE	Stacey
	$250: N $350: D (x2) $200: R (x2) -$250: A -$250: E -$250: O (x3) $300: S (x2) Lose A Turn!	$900: T (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$1,200	$1,800

SAME NAME

Stacey solves DOCTOR AND MISTER SPOCK. Pat always thought they were the same person.

Rich	Dottie	Stacey
		$3,050

The bad news is that we didn't put the same puzzle on the board again...but the good news is that we have the $3,500 space on the Wheel?

Round 3

TITLE

Rich	Dottie	STACEY
		$500: R $250: T (DUD!)
		$500
BANKRUPT! ($0)	$700: S (DUD!)	$600: C (DUD!)
		$500
$700: F $700: D -$250: O (x4) $800: N $800: H (DUD!)	$200: L $400: V (x2) Solve: Correct!
$1,950	$1,000

TITLE

Dottie solves A GROOVY KIND OF LOVE, though she doesn't sound like she's heard of it.

Rich	Dottie	Stacey
	$1,000	$3,050

Yes, we're open late. Take all the time you need before you speed off in a Toyota Tercel deluxe coupe (labeled CAR) worth $11,958.

Round 4

THINGS

RICH	Dottie	Stacey
Lose A Turn!	$200: S $400: N -$250: E (x3) $3,500: G (x2) Lose A Turn!	$1,000: R $500: V (DUD!)
	$7,350	$1,000
$600: C (x2) $1,000: T (x2) Solve: Correct!
$3,200

THINGS

Rich solves ELECTRONIC GADGETS, pausing between both words.

Rich	Dottie	Stacey
$3,200	$1,000	$3,050

We think she has all the bad luck out of the way, so Dottie can face the $5,000 space with no trouble at all.

Round 5

Rich	DOTTIE	Stacey
	$200: S $500: R -$250: E (x2) $900: T $350: L $500: N -$250: I $250: D $200: F -$250: O (DUD!)	$550: C (DUD!)
	$2,150
$500: H
$500

PEOPLE

DING DING! DING DING!

It's just a little further, but Pat still gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $350 a piece.

Rich: W ($850)

PEOPLE

Rich solves WEALTHY FRIENDS.

Rich	Dottie	Stacey
$4,050	$1,000	$3,050

BONUS ROUND:

Rich won't feel like he could be a wealthy friend until he wins one of our prizes in Bonus Land! Choose from:

Automobile (almost $60,000)

Mexican charter cruise ($39,000)

Motorhome ($39,000)

Necklace ($49,500)

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

Rich will get rich quick with...

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

...if he can solve this puzzle.

Bonus Puzzle

PERSON

RSTLNE gives him:

PERSON

It's CMHI, but Vanna barely moves.

PERSON

He's silent and does not solve SCAPEGOAT. Rich leaves with $4,050 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna look at the fruit on the Mexican Cruise set. Some of the fruit are real, and some aren't. Pat throws an orange on the ground, and when it bounces back to him, he can tell it's fake. He does it again with another orange that turns out to be real (and he had to apologize for that one). They can already tell that the bananas are real, and Pat also wonders about the flowers.
