Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A pair of his-and-hers Acuras!
A gorgeous bracelet!
A new Regal boat!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:

Connie Bruner: Freelance artist (just does "whatever the urge strikes or whatever's needed"), from Weatherford, TX
Lori Williams: Secretary for an executive service, expecting her first child in three months; from Bakersfield, CA (originally from Fort Worth, TX...and "that's why I talk funny".)

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