Airdate: March 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A full-length mink coat!
A boat for lots of fun!
A pair of automobiles!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $185,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Jeff Greer: In the United States Navy for about a year so far, currently a carrier pilot; from Jacksonville, FL
Leslie Debord: Waitress in southern California, and she freelances as a personal chef; she also likes children...though it's probably because she has none of her own.
Karen Bradbury: Homemaker and part-time community college student majoring in marketing, and she's currently working on a romance novel that's 2/3 of the way done; from Mesa, AZ

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

Round 1

PERSON

JEFF	Leslie	Karen
$200: N (DUD!)	$150: T $250: S Lose A Turn!	$900: R -$250: E (x2) BANKRUPT! ($650)
	$400
$350: F BANKRUPT! ($350)	BANKRUPT! ($400)	$500: D $300: J Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
		$800

PERSON

Karen solves JODIE FOSTER.

Jeff	Leslie	Karen
		$800

It'd be dumb to love prizes only because we have none. Let's add one! This will be a Dicker & Dicker sculptured full-length mink coat (labeled FUR) worth $5,500.

It'd be even worse to say we love big money without adding a $2,500 space.

Round 2

PHRASE

Pat: I wondered where that excess puzzle board material went, and I see Vanna made a dress out of it.

(Yes, it would appear that Vanna's dress matches the green spaces on the board.)

Jeff	LESLIE	Karen
	$300: N (DUD!)	Lose A Turn!

$200: T (DUD!)	FUR! $150: R $700: S -$250: E (x3) $200: L -$250: A (DUD!)	$200: D (x4) Solve: Correct!
	$550+	$800

PHRASE

Karen solves DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD. Pat noticed that $800 seems to be her number.

Jeff	Leslie	Karen
		$1,600

So she solved again, but on the flip side, she doesn't have much money. We think she should try to make $3,500 her number instead.

Round 3

SAME NAME

Jeff	Leslie	KAREN
		$400: N (x4) $800: D -$250: A (x2) $600: R (DUD!)
		$2,150
$700: T (DUD!)	$700: S $150: L -$250: E -$250: O (x2) Lose A Turn!	$300: P $200: H $500: J (x2) -$250: U $200: Y -$250: I Solve: Correct!
	$350	$3,350

SAME NAME

Karen solves QUINCY AND JOHN PAUL JONES.

Jeff	Leslie	Karen
		$4,950

All you can really do is keep your chin up, or else you won't be able to look at a Hi-Lo FunLite travel trailer (labeled CAMPER) worth $10,424.

But you can't fault someone for looking down now. Maybe they love the $5,000 space just that much!

Round 4

QUOTATION

JEFF	Leslie	Karen
$700: R (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$5,000: T (DUD!)

$1,500: N (DUD!)	$700: S (DUD!)	$350: D (x2) $200: L (DUD!)
		$700
$800: Y CAMPER! $300: G (DUD!)
$800+

QUOTATION

DING DING! DING DING!

It could easily come back to Jeff with these kinds of letters. We now need Pat to give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $900 a piece.

Leslie: P (DUD!)
Karen: C (DUD!)
Jeff: H (DUD!)
Leslie: M (DUD!)
Karen: B (x4) ($4,300)

QUOTATION

Karen solves YABBA-DABBA-DOO in the worst way possible, except for one thing ...she has swept the game!

Jeff	Leslie	Karen
		$9,250

Karen's competition won't sneak back inside through the window this time. Jeff and Leslie both depart with some nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

We know how Karen's going to feel after she solves this final puzzle! Does she know which bonus prize she wants? Charlie's paying attention!

Regal Velocity 230 XL high-performance boat ($37,701)

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

Acura Integra and Legend (over $44,000)

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

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

That's enough from Charlie until Karen picks...

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

There's just one more puzzle!

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives her:

PHRASE

Sure, sweep the game with the usual CDMA.

PHRASE

She says DANCE and KANCH, then she says an inappropriate word with two seconds left. No complete sweep as Karen cannot solve FANCY THAT. Nope. Just...nope.

While the audience is laughing, we'll just acknowledge that Karen is going home with $9,250 in cash and forget that ever happened.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna stand at the puzzle board, and Vanna agrees that she blends in with the spaces on the board, where she's been hanging out for too long.
