Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:
A full-length chinchilla coat!
A $37,000 designer showcase!
A Buick Reatta!
Plus thousands of dollars in cash!
Over $197,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Kelli Gast (?): Radio disc jockey and works for a production company for TV and radio commercials, from Las Vegas, NV (originally from Kentucky)
Rochelle Love: Sales agent for a Los Angeles airline (and the first person not to call it a major airline); when she dies, her ashes are going in the Grand Canal of Venice, Italy (Pat's will be scattered on the Wheel)
Bob Sergeant: Works for a major government organization (another way to say he's in the Navy), is a Navy doctor taking care of the Marines, currently stationed in Barstow, CA
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. We are playing for cash, and here's our first puzzle:
Rochelle solves SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
Who really wants slow? The $2,500 is here for you to earn that money quickly!
A bigger bulb calls for a "bigger" wheel! We have more money, and we've added a $3,500 space to the Wheel!
Rochelle solves THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.
DING DING! DING DING!
Defeated by both the Wheel and the clock, it's time for Pat to give that Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $900 a piece.
Bob: V ($900)
Kelli: B ($900)
Kelli solves NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING NOVELIST.
A little bit of everything leads to Bob's own defeat. He's sent home with the nice parting gifts.
