From the Sony Studios, it's America's Game!
WHEEL OF FORTUNE
CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES
EPISODE #2540
Here are today's Friday Finalists!
Lois Bruin is from Muncie, IN. She came yesterday and became the only Bonus Round winner this week, and has $36,292 cash and prizes, including an Acura and a trip to Santa Barbara!
Greg Wooker is from Brookfield, WI. He stood around, got 3 C's off of a $5,000 final spin, and ended up here, $15,000 richer!
Jim Patterson is from Houston, TX. He's won $13,945 in cash and prizes already! He plays eight ball in national championships. He doesn't play at home, because he doesn't have a table.
Starting Round 1, it's the death of the Person does not always mean proper name spiel! Pat was sick of it, and now he doesn't have to do it anymore!
Greg hesitates, but he eventually solves SEAN CONNERY for $200. Because it's Season 14, the minimum has been bumped up to $500, so Greg will get more than $200.
Round 2 adds a vintage 1950's COCA-COLA MACHINE along with a year's supply, thanks to the World of Coca-Cola! It's worth $6,000!
The puzzlewriters are being cute again. Jim claims I'LL GIVE THE WHEEL A FINAL SPIN for $2,850.
Greg says ROOT DANCE AND MEAL, and that's accepted as a solve. He can get $2,000 more if he can find the link between ROOT DANCE MEAL.
He tries tap. It was SQUARE.
Jim doesn't have to worry about a FIRE-BREATHING DRAGON burning up $5,750.
