Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A gem package of diamonds, pearls, emeralds, and sapphires!
A pair of his-and-hers Peugeot automobiles!
A $45,000 cocktail ring!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $230,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Shirley Burger: Mother of two who has run some marathons, from Yakima, WA
Pat Doyle (female): Advertising executive, from New York (in New York)
Jeff Sarcadia: Manufacturing engineer for a major automotive stamping company, from Hartland, MI

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

Round 1

PERSON

SHIRLEY	Pat	Jeff
$400: T (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$350: R (DUD!)

$250: N (x2) $1,000: L (x2) -$250: E (x2) Solve: Correct!
$2,250

PERSON

Shirley solves GLENN CLOSE. Somewhat quick, so does she have another marathon to run?

Shirley	Pat	Jeff
$2,250

We shouldn't do too much running ourselves. We have more reliable means to carry in a Burton James sleeper couch (labeled COUCH) worth $3,000.

One Pat has stamped a $2,500 space on that Wheel, and another Pat will make sure it was worth it.

Round 2

SAME NAME

Shirley	PAT	Jeff
	$450: N (x3) $400: D -$250: A BANKRUPT! ($1,500)	$250: T $150: Y $400: L (DUD!)

$250: R (x3) -$250: E (x3) $350: S (x2) $800: M Solve: Correct!
$2,000

SAME NAME

Shirley solves KENNY AND MISTER ROGERS.

Shirley	Pat	Jeff

It's a beautiful day in the studio, and even after someone asks "Would the $3,500 be mine?", we think it can still be beautiful.

Round 3

PHRASE

You can look at ours, as long as you'll allow us to return to the studio with a Fred Joaillier gift certificate featuring a diamond and emerald bracelet (labeled JEWEL) worth $17,700.

We now ask which staff member authorized the silver space so late. The host will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $300 a piece.

Pat: H (x2) ($1,100)
Jeff: N ($300)
Shirley: V (DUD!)
Pat: S (x2) ($1,700)

TITLE

Pat blots out the sweep by solving HERE COMES THE SUN.

Shirley	Pat	Jeff

Only one of Shirley's competitors could find the light. Jeff is kept in the dark with some nice parting gifts.

MDGA gets her further.

PERSON

She instantly solves FAMILY MAN to keep the cars! Shirley escapes with $48,909 in cash and prizes!

In the post-game chat, Pat is impressed that they gave away more stuff. It'd be fun to count up all the cars the show has given away. Maybe it wouldn't be fun. Let's say 9,285 cars, which is probably wrong...but it's more plausible than a billion.
