Airdate: March 17, 1989 (possibly)

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A $43,000 Eliminator Cabin Cruiser!
Fred's sapphire and diamond earclips with matching ring!
A San Juan patio pool!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $214,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Deborah Cleveland: Entrepreneur (has a desktop publishing service, international network marketing, and more recently became publisher/editor in chief for L.A. Juvenile Diabetes Foundation)
Andy Rogers: Student at the University of Southern Maine going for a second degree in broadcast communications (in case Pat retires), also works for a major outdoor sporting specialty catalogue company; from Portland
Judy Feld: Works with a major airline in its information services subsidiary, also has Master's degrees in math and operations research; from Dallas, TX

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

Round 1

FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

DEBORAH	Andy	Judy
$400: N (x3) $200: D -$250: S (Consonant buy)	$300: "We'll have the R." (No. )	$150: T (DUD!)
$1,200*
-$250: A $400: W (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$500: L (DUD!)
$900
$750: M (x3) -$250: I (x3) Solve: Correct!
$2,900

Deborah tries to change her vowel purchase to A, but since she already gave a full letter, she is buzzed. Assuming the $250 was deducted, she is still overcredited by $50 before she gets her turn back.

FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

Deborah solves MINNIE AND MICKEY MOUSE. "Shouldn't Mickey get top billing?"

Deborah	Andy	Judy
$2,900

After playing like Donald Duck, we'll rest so that the crew can add an Emser International silk 6x9 Chinese rug (labeled RUG) worth $3,200.

Speaking of top, the $2,500 space could take you to the top!

Round 2

TITLE

Deborah	ANDY	Judy
	$750: "The N." (x3) $400: R (x2) $200: T (x2) $500: H -$250: A -$250: E (x2) $150: D (DUD!)	$400: S -$250: I (x2) $400: V (DUD!)
	$3,450	$150
$200: P $700: G (x2) $300: Y Solve: Correct!
$1,900

Pat accidentally added Deborah's first $200 to Andy's score before catching himself. They'll figure out the math.

TITLE

Deborah solves YOUNGER THAN SPRINGTIME.

Deborah	Andy	Judy
$4,800

"Uh, let's take a little peeky-poo at the $3,500 space on our Wheel." This before we totally stare at a big puzzle on the board:

Round 3

PHRASE

Deborah	Andy	JUDY
		$900: T (x3) $3,500: H (x2) -$250: E (x8) -$250: A (x3) -$250: I ("Ouch.")
		$8,950
$200: R $600: L $600: V $300: Y -$250: O (x3) -$250: U (x2) $600: F $300: N $300: D $1,000: S (x3) Solve: Correct!
$5,400

PHRASE

Deborah solves LEAVE YOUR MESSAGE AT THE SOUND OF THE BEEP.

Deborah	Andy	Judy
$10,200

Deborah must remember that her score is good news. Even better news from Charlie? She could win a Fred Joaillier gift certificate featuring a 2.21-karat diamond and 3-karat sapphire ring (labeled RING) worth $16,000!

Speaking of ring, the $5,000 space is calling, and someone should answer the call!

Round 4

THINGS

DEBORAH	Andy	Judy
$550: S (x2) $200: N (DUD!)	$300: T $200: R (DUD!)	$900: L (DUD!)
$1,100	$300

THINGS

DING DING! DING DING!

I guess Pat will answer this one, and it's time to give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $250 a piece.

Deborah: M ($1,350)
Andy: P (DUD!)
Judy: C (DUD!)
Deborah: H ($1,600)
Andy: D (DUD!)
Judy: B (DUD!)
Deborah: G (DUD!)
Andy: F ($550)
Judy: W (DUD!)
Deborah: Y (DUD!)
Andy: X ($800)

THINGS

Andy blocks Deborah's path to solve EXHAUST FUMES.

Deborah	Andy	Judy
$10,200	$800

Deborah isn't fuming at all, though Judy is gonna feel sad that she's stuck with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

Deborah must be exhausted after all that spinning. We'll give her a break before looking at the bonus prizes.

After some messages, Deborah will play for...

Chevrolet Corvette convertible ($38,345)

This puzzle won't leave her fuming, will it?

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

She might have a reason to call DKWA.

THING

Maybe not. She says WALK AND TALK, but she does not solve HALF AND HALF. Deborah goes home with $10,200 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna were talking about dairy products. People ask what Vanna eats or drinks to stay slim, and she drinks 2% low fat. She has had half and half. What has Pat had? "You know, this is sad, but time's up! Doggone it! We were just gettin' into it, too."
