Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A Volvo 780 coupe!

Over $208,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:

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

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna talk about the little dolls made out of paper. You could cut out little clothes. Vanna's dress looks like three different outfits in one, but it's actually all one piece. Vanna wonders how Pat knows about paper dolls, and when he was a kid, he knew little girls with paper dolls. Pat used to get paper cuts all the time because of them. As an adult, Vanna has some dolls, though she doesn't sleep with them.
