Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A Volvo 780 coupe!
A flower brooch!
A San Juan swimming pool!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $207,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Chris Knowle: Works for the major national passenger railroad, in the transportation department and occasionally in passenger services; from Renton, WA
Fran Jacobs: Behaviorist in a weight management program, from Lake City, FL
Hugh Justice: Air traffic controller at Edwards Air Force Base in California

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

Round 1

PHRASE

CHRIS	Fran	Hugh
$300: N BANKRUPT! ($300)	$1,000: T $400: B (DUD!)	$750: R -$250: O (x2) $450: F -$250: U -$250: I (DUD!)

	$1,000	$1,050

PHRASE

Hugh solves KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR.

Chris	Fran	Hugh
		$1,050

What we really mean to say is keep an eye out for a space marked with a Lucien Piccard 14-karat gold and 40 diamond lady's quartz watch (labeled WATCH) worth $3,590.

We'll be keeping an eye on you so that you remember there's also a $2,500 space on the Wheel.

Round 2

TITLE

Chris	FRAN	Hugh
	$300: T (x2) $2,500: H -$250: E (x2) $500: N (DUD!)	$750: R -$250: I (DUD!)
	$2,850	$500
$250: F (x2) -$250: O (x2) $700: G (DUD!)	$150: L (x2) Solve: Correct!
$250	$3,150

TITLE

Fran solves WALTZ OF THE FLOWERS.

Chris	Fran	Hugh
	$3,150	$1,050

Well, we kept an I out for the first two puzzles. Maybe it will show up this time? Hugh won't want to be tricked after hitting the $3,500 space!

Round 3

PLACE

Chris	Fran	HUGH
		$200: T $250: R -$250: E (x2) $200: S (x2) $150: H (DUD!)

PLACE

Hugh solves INDIANAPOLIS MOTOR SPEEDWAY. Of course, the I is there when he doesn't need it.

Chris	Fran	Hugh
	$3,150	$3,350

So, you don't think you need this prize? You could take the lead with a 7-day Parismina sport-fishing holiday in Costa Rica, plus emerson VideoMovie VHS-C camcorder (labeled FISH) totaling $6,679!

Maybe Chris doesn't need that, because there is a $5,000 space in this round.

BONUS ROUND:

Oh, Hugh. If Pat had spun a higher number, who knows if you'd be here? But he's here, and he could win one of these prizes:

Volvo 780 coupe (over $41,000)

Van (over $47,000)

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives him:

PHRASE

CMDA are fine choices, according to Pat.

PHRASE

He gets ROMANTIC, but he does not solve ROMANTIC GETAWAY. Hugh goes home with $3,350 in cash.

In the post-game chat, Vanna talks about the fishing trip. Nobody won it, though it reminds her of the last time she and Pat went fishing together...but Pat would rather not hear about it. He didn't do well. It was a difficult evening, and he spent most of the time...underneath, over the edge of the boat. Vanna was reeling in a 150-pound marlin, and Pat fell off the boat, so it got away! Pat wants to cut his losses and just end the show now.
