Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A $40,000 furniture, appliance, and accessory showcase!
An Avanti sports car!
A pair of sparkling earclips with sapphire hearts and diamonds!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $232,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants (all female):
Kathy Cameron: Mother of two sons, and interviewed in Toronto but decided to stay in southern California
Shelly Romanov: Does home restoration, community theatre, and bodybuilding; from Greenburgh, NY
Lee O'Connor: Works for a major software company as a systems consultant, from Little Ferry, NJ

Pat asks Shelly to demonstrate some of her bodybuilding, which she does with her right arm, and he gets a close-up after walking to the yellow spot. Pat thinks about doing it himself, but he changes his mind.

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

This heavy Wheel could help Shelly build both her body and her score, as we've just added a $2,500 space!

It might be humanly possible to spin with the prize itself on the Wheel, but we'll play it safe and just add a special space for a Chevrolet S10 pickup (labeled TRUCK) worth $12,507.

You call that a lead? Kathy could widen it if she hits the $5,000 space!
