Look at this studio filled with fabulous bonus prizes including:

A Toyota Cressida and Supra!
A diamond and emerald ring!
A Schafer & Sons grand piano!

Plus thousands of dollars in cash!

Over $243,000 just waiting to be won on...

Wheel of Fortune!

Today's contestants:
Callie English: Works for the Navy in a calibration laboratory, from New Palestine, IN
Semaj Blaine: His name really is "James" backwards. He's a system engineer for "the major computer manufacturer in the world".
Sterling Windsor: Student at Oklahoma State University majoring in organizational administration, from Stillwater

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

Round 1

PHRASE

CALLIE	Semaj	Sterling
$900: S $250: T (x2) $250: N (x4) $400: R $150: D (DUD!)	$150: F (x2) $400: G Lose A Turn!	$700: H -$250: I (x5) $400: V Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$2,400	$700	$850

PHRASE

Sterling solves FISHING FOR AN INVITATION.

Callie	Semaj	Sterling
		$850

Charlie's just going to read this prize copy forwards, okay? Otherwise, you'd have to give us an Emerson microwave oven, color TV, VHS recorder, stereo system, and cassette deck (labeled HI-TECH) worth $2,850.

But backwards or forwards, you will still get the cash from the $2,500 space.

Round 2

PLACE

Callie	SEMAJ	Sterling
	$300: N (x3) $300: S $200: G (DUD!)	$500: R -$250: A (x4) $750: T (DUD!)
	$1,200	$250
$400: P $400: M HI-TECH! $150: L (x2) $300: D Solve: Correct!
$1,400+

PLACE

Callie solves ANNAPOLIS MARYLAND to keep the hi-tech package.

Callie	Semaj	Sterling
$4,250		$850

We can't show Sterling our silver just yet! The $3,500 space will have to do.

Round 3

PHRASE

Callie	Semaj	STERLING
		$550: T (x5) $1,000: H (x2) -$250: E (x7) $150: S (x3) BANKRUPT! ($4,950)

$200: F (x2) $200: C $400: N $200: R (x3) Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$1,600

PHRASE

Callie solves CAN'T SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES.

Callie	Semaj	Sterling
$5,850		$850

Really, every little bit matters in this game, including a Van Cleef & Arpels gift certificate featuring a diamond and emerald ring (labeled RING) worth $9,600.

It's not like the $5,000 space should care where all the E's went, or if there are any in this puzzle:

Round 4

SAME NAME

CALLIE	Semaj	Sterling
$200: D (x3) $600: N $350: R -$250: A $500: S (DUD!)	$500: L $5,000: T -$250: I (x2) -$250: E (DUD!)	$700: Y (x2) -$250: O (DUD!)
$1,300	$5,000	$1,150
$400: B $400: C $500: F Solve: Correct!
$2,600

SAME NAME

Callie solves BUDDY AND FILTHY RICH. We are officially broke.

Callie	Semaj	Sterling
$8,450		$850

Maybe Semaj could've said his name backwards to turn things around. After all this, he's just leaving with the nice parting gifts.

BONUS ROUND:

We've saved the best for last! Now that Callie is in Bonus Land, she could win one of these:

Plexiglas grand piano (over $63,000)

Solarium (over $48,000)

Toyota Cressida and Supra (over $51,000)

His-and-hers diamond watches (over $43,000)

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

Callie would like to play for...

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

Just one puzzle blocks her path.

Bonus Puzzle

THINGS

RSTLNE gives her:

THINGS

How much of the left side is CDMI?

THINGS

She says CRIBS, and she does not solve POKER CHIPS. Callie leaves with $8,450 in cash and prizes.

In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna check if everything is okay with Charlie. He's fine, and Vanna's fine. The booth is fine, and so is the audience.

Vanna isn't exactly getting "flooded" with movie scripts, but she might find something she likes. The kind of character she'd play is a secret that she whispers to Pat...though Pat says she'll have to put on weight and grow a beard.
