Airdate: Mar-Apr 1989

Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A Baldwin grand piano!
A $34,000 Reed & Barton handcrafter Sterling Silver tea service!
A Cadillac Seville!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $174,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Jimmy Jay: Personal valet in Beverly Hills, but also has a B.A. in liberal arts and sciences at the University of Florida (originally from Gainesville)

Abbie Argo: Works with radio sales and advertising promotions, from New York City

Maddy Ginsburg: In computer marketing, from Stamford, CT

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

Round 1

PHRASE

JIMMY	Abbie	Maddy
$200: T (x2) $200: S -$250: A (DUD!)	$200: P $1,000: N $500: G (x2) -$250: O -$250: I (x2) $200: H (DUD!)	$400: D $200: B (DUD!)
$350	$1,700	$400
$350: F Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$700

PHRASE

Jimmy solves STOP FIDGETING.

Jimmy	Abbie	Maddy
$700

What else can Pat really do while listening to prize copy for a LeRoy Neiman Bistro Garden serigraph (labeled ART) worth $4,950?

Maybe Pat could've been the one to stick the $2,500 space on the Wheel.

Round 2

PHRASE

Jimmy	ABBIE	Maddy
	$200: D ART! $150: T $700: N $200: R (x3) -$250: E (x3) $2,500: S (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$6,400+

PHRASE

Perfection! Abbie solves UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE for the money and the artwork.

Jimmy	Abbie	Maddy
$700	$11,350

After that round, we'll see if Maddy came to win. With a smaller puzzle, it's going to take at least one $3,500 spin for the lead.

Round 3

THING

Jimmy	Abbie	MADDY
		$250: T $3,500: N (DUD!)
		$250
$300: S (DUD!)	$200: N (Repeat)	BANKRUPT! ($250)

$250: L (DUD!)	$500: D $900: B (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)

$200: R BANKRUPT! ($200)	$200: C (DUD!)	$600: M (x2) $1,000: V (x2) Solve: Correct!
	$500	$3,200

THING

Maddy solves MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE.

Jimmy	Abbie	Maddy
$700	$11,350	$3,200

Let's try not to stretch out this game to feature-length. It's just a few simple steps to win a Fred Joaillier 18-karat gold Mickey Mouse watch (labeled WATCH) worth $7,650.

Jimmy probably thinks he's the good guy, spinning the $5,000 space and emerging as a hero.

Round 4

SAME NAME

JIMMY	Abbie	Maddy
$200: D $5,000: N -$250: A (x2) BANKRUPT! ($4,950)	$500: S $5,000: T $5,000: R (x2) -$250: E (x3) $300: M $300: P $5,000: C -$250: U (x2) -$250: O (x2) $500: L (x4) Solve: Correct!

Abbie solves SUPREME AND VOLLEYBALL COURT. Can we legally pay for another round?

Jimmy	Abbie	Maddy
$700	$33,700	$3,200

BONUS ROUND:

Obviously, we still have to cover one more expense in Bonus Land. Abbie will look at these prizes:

Cadillac (over $34,000)

Tea service (over $34,000)

Piano (over $31,000)

Pass to the World Series, U.S. Open, Kentucky Derby, Daytona, and Indy, plus $10,000 in spending money (over $36,000)

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

Abbie settles with...

"Good ol' American cash" ($25,000)

We could always throw a tough puzzle at her, but should we?

Bonus Puzzle

THING

RSTLNE gives her:

THING

CHPA gives her a little extra help.

THING

She guesses CAVALIER, but she does not solve CAULIFLOWER. Oh, well. Abbie still has $33,700 in cash and prizes!

In the post-game chat, Pat gets questions if the show has a live audience. Occasionally, we her a "Hey!" in the studio. Is Gary in the studio? He does a "Yeah!" for when someone hits something good. That's who you hear.

Vanna is heading out to Atlantic City with a lot of Wheel staff, and they'll be doing a promotion and contestant search. There will also be a big party and lots of prizes. Pat can't think of who would own that hotel...and it's Merv.
