Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A 20-foot motorhome!
A cruise for six on a private yacht!
A $59,000 California Countach coupe!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $229,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Carolyn Jester: Medical assistant at St. Francis Hospital, from Tulsa, OK
Jennifer Maurice: Bookkeeper for "probably the longest established roofing company in northeastern Pennsylvania", from Dunmore
Todd Buchanan: Waiter/student, currently a sophomore at Florida Junior College studying communications, and might take Pat's job; from Jacksonville
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Carolyn solves JOHANN AND LEVI STRAUSS.
Back to our game, and Pat is well-rested so he can remind us about a "pink" and "pretty" $3,500 space.
Carolyn solves THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS.
Carolyn solves PLAINCLOTHES COPS.
DING DING! DING DING!
That's not a siren, but it is an important sound. That means Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $200 a piece.
Jennifer: N (x2) ($1,800)
Todd: F (x2) ($400)
Carolyn: C (DUD!)
Jennifer: L ($2,000)

We only suggested that Pat might be out of a job. Charlie's still safe, as he's the one with a Jeep Comanche Pioneer pickup truck (labeled TRUCK) worth $11,379.
Todd could easily show us the $5,000 space if he wanted, but Pat has to draw the line somewhere.
