Airdate: March 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

An Acura Legend and Integra totaling $40,000!
A $37,000 Regal Velocity racing boat!
A $33,000 yellow sapphire and diamond bracelet!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $179,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Charles Yelton: Father and student at East Tennessee State University majoring in finance, from Elizabethton, TN
Sherrie Rain: Promoting a literacy manual that she recently wrote, from Brampton, ON
Karen Genatempo: Supervisor for a home party plan company

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and as long as you understand the very complicated rules, here's our first puzzle:

Round 1

PLACE

CHARLES	Sherrie	Karen
$250: T (x2) $400: H -$250: E (x2) $400: S Lose A Turn!	$800: N -$250: A (x2) $700: D (DUD!)	$350: R $400: M (DUD!)
$1,050	$550	$350
$750: F (x2) -$250: O -$250: I Solve: Correct!
$2,050

PLACE

Charles just says THE LEFT BANK OF PARIS. "I guess he'll solve it."

Charles	Sherrie	Karen
$2,050

There's a very complicated procedure for finding prizes that we won't explain. To make things easy, we'll just describe a Ceralene Raynaud cashmere gold-trimmed multicolor china set (labeled CHINA) worth $3,800.

I guess someone will hit the $2,500 space in this round. All we have to do is wait...

Round 2

PHRASE

Charles	SHERRIE	Karen
	$250: T (x3) -$250: I (DUD!)	$200: H $400: R -$250: A (x5) $300: N (DUD!)
	$500	$350
$900: K $900: G Solve: Correct!
$1,800

PHRASE

Charles solves AT THAT AWKWARD AGE. That solve wasn't as awkward as the last one.

Charles	Sherrie	Karen
$3,850

It is awkward to look at a blank scoreboard, but Karen could fill up that board by hitting the $3,500 space.

Round 3

SAME NAME

Charles	Sherrie	KAREN
		$450: N (x3) $200: D (x3) -$250: A (x3) -$250: E (DUD!)
		$1,450
BANKRUPT! ($0)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$600: R (DUD!)
		$1,450
$800: S -$250: O (x4) $800: M $150: G $800: T -$250: I (x2) $800: C Solve: Correct!
$2,850

SAME NAME

Charles solves PLACIDO AND SANTO DOMINGO.

(His scoreboard briefly blanks before his total is calculated.)

Charles	Sherrie	Karen
$6,700

Pat says he would take just about anything. He'd even stare at a trip to New Orleans and stay at the Bourbon Orleans in the French Quarter (labeled TRIP) worth $6,068.

He could stare at the $5,000 space all day, or at least for the final minutes.

Round 4

EVENT

CHARLES	Sherrie	Karen
$550: T $200: S (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$200: N (x2) $900: R (DUD!)
$550		$400
-$250: I (x3) $500: L (DUD!)	$700: H BANKRUPT! ($700)	$350: W $5,000: V Solve: Correct!
$300		$5,750

EVENT

Karen wastes no time after that spin, and she solves HAWAIIAN VACATION.

Charles	Sherrie	Karen
$6,700		$5,750

And we'll waste no time putting another puzzle on the board.

Round 5

TITLE

Charles	SHERRIE	Karen
	$300: N -$250: E $500: T (DUD!)	$400: R BANKRUPT! ($400)
	$50
$200: B (DUD!)

TITLE

DING DING! DING DING!

We're gonna need a vacation after this, but first, Pat gives the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $200 a piece.

Sherrie: F (x2) ($450)

TITLE

Sherrie solves MY FRIEND FLICKA. A true friend would've spun a better number for her.

Charles	Sherrie	Karen
$6,700	$450	$5,750

BONUS ROUND:

Charles will take the trip to "Magical Prize Land" with his friend Pat, where we could give away one of these bonus prizes:

Boat (over $37,000)

Johnson-Matthey gold, silver, and platinum bars (over $28,000)

His-and-hers cars (over $44,000)

18-karat yellow sapphire and 3-karat diamond bracelet (over $33,000)

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

Charles has chosen...

Acura Integra LS for her and Legend sedan for him ($44,796)

Here's a magical puzzle:

Bonus Puzzle

TITLE

RSTLNE gives him:

TITLE

We'll fill in more with CDHA.

TITLE

He says OR CHESS, and he does not solve GOODBYE MR CHIPS. Charles leaves with $6,700 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat grabs Charlie's shoulders by surprise while Vanna watches. We get to see Charlie on camera, and Pat says it's because he may have been "goofing off" during the bonus prize copy. It's because Charlie was trying to find said copy, and he asks for Pat's forgiveness. Charlie also surprises both Pat and Vanna with a red and white Wheel hat for each of them.
