Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A precious gems package worth $40,000!
A $60,000 ocean fishing boat!
A pair of his-and-hers Peugeots worth $39,000!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $227,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Judy Dannenberg: Mother of one from Wilkes-Barre, PA (but the family is moving to Pittsburgh because her husband got a job)
Frank Tolcaz: Works as an account executive in a pharmaceutical healthcare advertising agency in Philadelphia; from Marlton, NJ
Alfred Taylor: Staff accountant for a major public accounting firm, from Toronto, ON (originally from Sault Ste. Marie)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. "Try not to hit, uh, anything- We are playing for cash, and you don't want to lose it. I mean, that's what's important." Here's our first puzzle!
Perfection! Judy solves THE HEART OF THE MATTER. Time matters to someone who might have a plane to catch.
Alfred solves WHITNEY HOUSTON TEXAS to keep the kitchen.
How about cooking up some more money? How about a taste of the $3,500 space? How would you like the taste of glitter in the morning?
Yeah, just pretend that we have another prize. Or maybe we really have one! Do you want a Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring a white-and-yellow gold and diamond pendant (labeled JEWEL) worth $15,000?
Pat: The nighttime show is now in its sixth season, and officially, that's the worst puzzle we've ever had.
DING DING! DING DING!
"Don't say another word, anybody! Anywhere!" That's because Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $900 a piece.
Alfred: D (x2) ($3,500)
Alfred solves TOP-SEEDED TENNIS PLAYER.

In the post-game chat, Vanna is holding the $2,500 space, which matches her current dress. When you start dressing like the set, you've gone too far. By the way, Pat has a clogged drain.
